Shinjuku's Jibeer Bar Marumugi, May 8 Features Five Taps Including COEDO and Y.MARKET
Jibeer Bar Marumugi, a beer pub in Arakicho, Shinjuku Ward, has announced its craft beer lineup for May 8. From COEDO's "Marihana" to citrusy IPAs, yuzu-scented pale ales, and smoky black lagers, five distinctive beers are on tap.
Hop BroToday's highlight is Marumugi's five taps. At the beer pub in Arakicho, Shinjuku, they've got everything from COEDO to Y.MARKET on the board.
MugiWhat? Five beers at once!? That already sounds like a tasting session, and the names are strong too!
Hop BroFirst up is COEDO's Marihana. It's a 4.3% session IPA, with a bright citrus aroma that slips through lightly.
MugiSo a session IPA means an easy-drinking IPA? But an IPA that's light, isn't that kind of cheating?
Hop BroExactly. It keeps the hop aroma up while staying modest in alcohol. And Fruit Basket IPA really leans into Citra, so the juiciness comes through clearly.
MugiWhat's Citra? It sounds like a fruit name and kind of cute! Does it really taste like fruit?
Hop BroStrictly speaking, it's a hop variety, and it excels at citrus-like aromas. Y.MARKET's Yellow Sky Pale Ale has a yuzu-like character, and VECTOR's beer overlaps with an orange impression.
MugiThe names are already fun! I thought Hop Alien meant something from outer space, but it's actually about orange notes!
Hop BroAnd finally, Repubrew's AGE AGE SAME AGE. It's black but light and smoky, and because it's a lager, it goes down smoothly, which is great.
MugiAnd if the large is 1,200 yen+ and the small is 900 yen+, plus some beers are another 100 yen, I want to go for a little of everything today!
Hop BroIt's a small beer pub within walking distance from Yotsuya-sanchome in Arakicho, Shinjuku, and it's closed on Tuesdays and public holidays, so I'd want to aim for a day when I can really go.
MugiYeah, it feels like a night of tasting beers would be perfect! Today, I already want to line up the aromatic ones one after another!
