Marumugi, a beer pub in Arakicho, Shinjuku, Tokyo, posted its August 13 tap list. The lineup features five beers from Isekadoya Beer, Minoh Beer, Miyazaki Hideji Beer, Yokohama Beer, and Ushi Tora Brewery, served in large and small sizes.
Hop BroMarumugi in Arakicho just posted its August 13 tap list, and it's a strong one. Five beers, from Isekadoya Beer to Ushitora Brewery, all lined up for comparison.
MugiWait, all five are distinct? Lager and IPA on the same list means my indecisive brain is already doing laps!
Hop BroFirst up is Isekadoya's Yorimichi no Lager. It's 4.5% and easygoing, the kind of first pint that makes your throat clap for opening time.
MugiThat name already makes me want a detour! So Minoh Beer's Domestic Peach Weizen really smells like peach?
Hop BroYep. The soft wheat character from the weizen carries the early-season peach aroma really well. It doesn't turn into juice; it still lands as a proper summer beer.
MugiNice, but Session Hazy IPA sounds like a spell from a beer wizard. What is that supposed to mean?
Hop BroThink of it as a lighter hazy IPA. It's only 4.5%, and the fresh Nichinan lemon note leads the way, so it feels bright instead of heavy.
MugiOkay, powerful name, gentle drink. Then Yokohama Beer's toasty altbier is the calm, serious one on the list?
Hop BroExactly. It has a gentle malt depth that sneaks up on you. Not flashy, just steadily delicious.
MugiUh-oh, that's the dangerous kind... the quiet obsession beer. And then Ushitora's HOP SNIPEER IPA is a three-hop IPA, so the lineup ends with an aroma uppercut!
Hop BroRight, and as a West Coast IPA it brings clean bitter snap, which makes it a great finisher. Big is 1,200 yen plus alpha, small is 900 yen plus alpha, so tasting across the board is easy.
MugiAnd closed Tuesdays and holidays, but open as usual today, right? A beer between rain showers is basically the calendar flirting with me.
Hop BroThen we start with the lager, swing through peach and lemon, and finish on IPA. A beer between showers sounds exactly right tonight.
