Marumugi, a beer pub in Arakicho, Shinjuku, published its August 26 tap list. The lineup spans a hop-forward pilsner, a dank IPA, a summer fruit ale, an English bitter, and a session IPA from five Japanese breweries.
Hop BroToday’s lineup at Marumugi in Arakicho, Shinjuku is a five-beer tap list worth talking about.
MugiWhat, five totally different styles in one night? My decision-making skills are about to melt!
Hop BroFirst up is Fuji-zakura Heights Beer’s Diamond side BEAT. It’s a 5.5% anniversary pilsner with bright hop aroma and a really crisp finish.
MugiIsekadoya’s Dank Dank Dank!! sounds intense! Does “dank” mean the beer is slam-dunking itself into the glass?
Hop BroThat would be dramatic. In beer terms, that dank aroma means resinous, grassy, old-school IPA character, and this one pushes it hard at 7.0%.
MugiOoh, then Shonan Beer’s Summer Orange Ale already sounds like a win. Using New Summer Orange feels like summer cheating, and I approve.
Hop BroExactly. It brings fruit character without getting too sweet, and Baird Brewing’s Public House Bitter shifts gears into a light, easy British bitter at 4.0%.
MugiAnd Ushitora Brewery’s Seiryo Inryo Sui sounds like a soft drink that secretly turned into booze. Also, what even is a session IPA?
Hop BroA session IPA is basically an IPA you can crush without getting wrecked. This one is 4.5%, breezy, and still properly hoppy for summer.
MugiA large is 1,200 yen plus a bit, a small is 900 plus a bit, and there’s so much tasting range? That is elite after-work temptation.
Hop BroAt that calm little beer pub on the second floor in Arakicho, going from pilsner to fruit ale to IPA to bitter sounds like a perfect night.
MugiThat settles it, I want to get pulled into Marumugi right now. Orange first, dank in the middle, bitter to finish!
