Hop BroMarumugi Beer Bar in Arakicho has announced its five beers for October 2. The range runs from lager to IPA and amber ale—great variety.
MugiWhoa! Five choices in one night? I might get lost before I pick my first glass!
Hop BroFor a classic start, try Baeren Brewery's Baeren Classic from Iwate. At 6.0% ABV, it balances full malt richness with firm bitterness.
MugiI think of lager as light, so what does richness and bitterness together actually mean?
Hop BroYou get a rounded malt flavor, then bitterness keeps the finish crisp. In short, it is a beer made for food—fried dishes or meat included.
MugiThat sounds dependable! And on a hop-heavy day, would I choose Shonan Beer’s American-Style IPA?
Hop BroExactly. An American IPA puts hops up front for aroma and bitterness. Hops can bring citrus and pine-like notes to a beer.
MugiPine-like? Suddenly we are in a forest! Does that mean beer-flavored forest bathing?
Hop BroPretty much! Then there is Repubrew’s NO LEMON LAGER from Shizuoka: not lemon itself, but lemongrass aroma, almost like spiced tea.
MugiNo lemon, yet the name says lemon!? That name is a trap!
Hop BroA deliciously fun trap. For sweet, toasty depth, get Roman-tic Village’s Maple Amber Ale; for a lighter opener, Shiga Kogen’s 5.0% Baby Blonde Miyama works beautifully.
MugiBaby Blonde first, IPA next, maple last… my imaginary tap crawl is done! With small pours from ¥1,000, I really want to visit Marumugi.
