Shinjuku local beer bar Marumugi to serve five casks of craft beer on May 11, opening at 7 p.m.
The beer pub "Jibiiru Bar Marumugi" in Arakicho, Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo, has announced today’s craft beer lineup for May 11. Beers from five domestic breweries, including COEDO and Y.MARKET BREWING, will be on offer, and due to the owner’s schedule, the bar will open at 7 p.m. that day.
Hop BroTonight’s 5-cask lineup at Jibiiru Bar Marumugi in Shinjuku’s Arakicho is really going for it.
MugiWhat! There are days when five different beers are lined up at Marumugi? That’s the kind of day that’s fun before you even choose!
Hop BroExactly, and on top of that, five domestic breweries are gathered here: COEDO, Y.MARKET BREWING, Ise Kadoya Beer, Baird Brewing, and Minami Shinshu Beer.
MugiWow, but what is a session IPA? Just hearing IPA makes me a little cautious!
Hop BroGood question. COEDO’s Marihana is a light IPA at just 4.3% ABV, so it’s the kind you can enjoy for its aroma while drinking smoothly.
MugiI see! So Y.MARKET BREWING’s Over Drive IPA is for the strong bitterness crowd?
Hop BroThat’s right. Then Mugi no Mani Mani has toasted notes and a crisp finish, Baird’s Fruitful Life Citrus IPA is all about the citrus, and Komagatake Ale is a rich golden ale with a refreshing edge, so the nice thing is you can choose based on your mood.
MugiWhoa, I’m already hungry just from the description! And there are even casks with an extra 100 yen added, which makes them feel a bit special!
Hop BroThe pricing is also very Marumugi: 1,200 yen +α for the large size and 900 yen +α for the small size, making it a setup that’s perfect for tasting comparisons.
MugiAnd being in a back alley in Arakicho makes it feel like a secret hideout! Since it opens at 7 p.m. today, I want to slip in after work!
Hop BroWhat’s more, because of the owner’s schedule, it starts at 7 p.m. today, and Tuesdays and public holidays are closed, so it’s important to go with a plan. So tonight, let’s toast with a five-cask lineup full of aroma.
MugiYeah, I already want to drink! I’m going to start with a glass of Marihana and then work my way through them one by one!
