Hop BroArakicho’s Jibeer Bar Marumugi is tapping five beers on November 8. The range runs from easy-drinking pours to a rich finale.
MugiWhoa! Five beers on tap feels like a beer pentathlon! Which one should we start with?
Hop BroStart with VECTOR BREWING’s MIDLANDHOPS, 5.0%. Its fresh seasonal-hop aroma makes it a great first toast.
MugiPeople always say hops are aromatic, but do seasonal hops have that just-harvested vegetable kind of freshness?
Hop BroExactly! Hops are the plant that brings beer aroma and bitterness, and seasonal use can make a bright green aroma really stand out.
MugiNice! Then Repubrew’s ONE MORE, 5.0%? That name is practically an extra order already!
Hop BroRight—it’s light and effortlessly drinkable. With food and conversation, it could become one more without noticing.
MugiWhat about bitterness fans? I’ve only just peeked into the bitterness rabbit hole!
Hop BroTry Echigo Beer’s Flying IPA at 6.0%. IPA is a hop-forward style, and this one delivers piercing bitterness. The water gets deep fast!
MugiEek, straight to the deep sea! But I’m also curious about the once-a-year lager from Romantic Village Craft Brewery in Tochigi.
Hop BroCascade Premium Lager is 6.3%, with citrus aroma and satisfying body. Finish with Baird Brewing’s Joy de Vivre, a rich 7.5% Belgian-style beer.
MugiAt ¥1,000 small or ¥1,300 large, I want a tasting flight! Let’s check the opening day and toast in Arakicho!
