Marumugi in Tokyo’s Arakicho posts its August 20 craft beer lineup
Craft beer bar Jibeer Bar Marumugi in Arakicho, Shinjuku, Tokyo, published its lineup for August 20. The list features five beers ranging from a light lager and a fragrant IPA to a summer-ready radler and session IPA.
Hop BroToday, Tokyo Arakicho’s Marumugi tap list looks great, and it lines up five summer-friendly beers you can compare in one go.
MugiWhat! Five summer pours sounds like an all-star team built for hot weather, right?
Hop BroThe easy opener is Ise Kadoya Beer’s Yorimichi no Lager. At 4.5%, it’s light and perfect for a first glass.
MugiOhh! A friendly first pint is exactly what I need. Though that name sounds like it’ll make me stop at another bar too!
Hop BroThen you move to Minoh Beer’s Osaru IPA, and the bright aroma plus sharp finish changes the whole mood.
MugiHold on, sharp finish means what exactly? It’s not slicing through my tongue like a kitchen knife, right!?
Hop BroIt means the flavor doesn’t linger too heavy, so the aftertaste fades cleanly and invites another sip. Also, Ushitora Brewery’s "Seiryo Inryosui" is a Session IPA, built for easy summer drinking.
MugiWait, a meeting-sounding name for a beer you can chug happily? My brain is buffering!
Hop BroBasically, it’s an IPA with flavor but without too much heaviness. And Ise Kadoya Beer’s Meyer Lemon Radler brings sweet-tart refreshment that feels made for the heat.
MugiNo way! That lemony refreshment sounds like summer itself just cracked open a cold one!
Hop BroAnd there’s also Baird Brewing’s Public House Bitter, with that calm British bitter character that should pair well with food. Sizes are easy too: large from 1,200 yen plus tax, small from 900 yen plus tax.
MugiIf it goes from lager to IPA to radler to bitter, then a drink in Arakicho turns into a full tasting mission. Now I want all five immediately!
