Hop BroShinjuku's Arakicho Jibeer Bar Marumugi has put out its May 22 draft lineup. You can already feel the move from spring into early summer just from the selection.
MugiHuh, that seasonal? In the beer world, does spring to early summer even change the flavor too?
Hop BroThis time, there are five labels from Minami Shinshu Beer, Ushitora Brewery, Shima Jozo, and Baird Brewing. It's interesting that Nagano, Tochigi, Mie, and Shizuoka are all together in one lineup.
MugiWow, it feels like traveling! But five draft beers makes it even harder to decide what to choose!
Hop BroIf you want to start light, go with Minami Shinshu Beer's SPRING SESSION. At 4.0%, it's gently fruity like spring haze, and it's just right for your first glass.
MugiI see, so a session beer means something lighter. So is that the kind of beer for people who like fruity, easy-drinking flavors?
Hop BroExactly. Next is Ushitora Brewery's Ushitora Man Dyna IPA. At 6.5%, it's bursting with aroma, but the bitterness is sleek, which is the nice touch.
MugiBursting with aroma and sleek bitterness? That sounds so cool! But smart bitterness is actually a compliment, right?
Hop BroOf course it's a compliment. And Shima Jozo's Shiranui Ale is like drinking citrus, while Baird's Fruitful Life Citrus IPA has a popping citrus snap. Minami Shinshu's Komagatake Ale balances freshness and richness, so it's a lineup that's fun to compare.
MugiWow, fun to compare sounds amazing! And at Large 1,200 yen+, Small 900 yen+, plus 100 yen per label, it's the kind of lineup that makes you want to try them all!
Hop BroAnd in Arakicho's relaxed atmosphere, they also announced that Tuesdays and public holidays will be regular closing days starting December 5, 2024. The fact that they even add a note about Egg Dish Day shows how gentle the shop's vibe is.
MugiI love that. Drinks always taste better at places like this! I want to go right now and slowly enjoy beer and conversation!
