Hop BroMarumugi, a craft beer pub in Arakicho, has an autumn five-beer lineup today. It runs from fruit-forward pours to classic styles—what a lineup!
MugiWhat, five beers to choose from? Show me that on an autumn night and my wallet will get tipsy before I do!
Hop BroThe standout is Minami Shinshu Beer’s Apple Hop Shinano Gold Ver. It uses Shinano Gold apples from Nagano and comes in at 6.5% ABV.
MugiAn apple beer sounds sweet—is it still really beer? What does beer-like richness even mean?
Hop BroIt is not apple juice. Think fresh apple aroma meeting a rounded malt body: fruit and malt in balance.
MugiOoh! In my head, Apple and Malt are now roommates holding a very serious meeting!
Hop BroFor a first glass, try Ushitorа Brewery’s Slow-Brewed Pils. It is a 5.5% pilsner with a crisp, approachable finish.
Mugi“Pilsner” sounds like something from a science lab! What does a crisp finish mean in normal-human language?
Hop BroIt is a classic lager style fermented cool and slowly, so it stays clean and light. In short: an easy drinking beer.
MugiGot it—less science lab, more cheers lab! And Minoh Beer has Rice IPA and peach weiss too?
Hop BroExactly. The anniversary KANSHA29 Rice IPA is aromatic and lively, while the Kawakami? No—the Kawanakajima white peach weiss celebrates the last peaches of the year. Isekadoya’s Classic Pale Ale is there too.
MugiWith large pours at ¥1,300 and small ones at ¥1,000, I want peach or apple first, then pale ale. Let’s go to Marumugi now!
A five-beer lineup at Marumugi
Jibeer Bar Marumugi, a craft beer pub in Arakicho, Shinjuku, has announced its tap list for October 26. The selection brings together fruit-forward beers, a crisp pilsner, a hop-focused IPA, and a classic pale ale from breweries across Japan.
The lineup includes South Shinshu Beer’s Apple Hop Shinano Gold Ver., a 6.5% fruit beer made with Shinano Gold apples from Nagano. Its profile is described as a balance of refreshing apple character and malt-backed depth, making it a fitting choice for autumn drinking.
