Hop BroMarumugi, the craft beer bar in Arakicho, is pouring five distinctive beers on September 20. Before the typhoon arrives, it sounds like a great day for an early pint.
MugiWhoa, beer before a typhoon? But with five choices, we have a serious first-beer dilemma!
Hop BroI'd start with Y.MARKET BREWING's Frais Pils: 4.5% ABV and a bright French pilsner with a crisp, easy finish.
MugiFrench pilsner? Does it speak French? Is it a bonjour beer?
Hop BroNo talking beer today! A pils is a light, crisp lager style; this one is simply a refreshing aromatic pour.
Hop BroFor bitterness, Baird Brewing's Brewer's Nightmare Rye IPA is 7.0% ABV, bringing spicy rye character and assertive hop bite.
MugiBrewer's Nightmare? That name is scary! Will there be hops causing chaos in my mouth?
Hop BroThat's not far off. Rye adds a peppery edge that boosts the IPA bitterness, making it a bold IPA for thrill-seekers.
Hop BroFor sweet aromatics, try Vector Brewing's 6.5% Onegari White Socks; for a slower sip, choose the maple amber ale from Romantic Village Craft Brewery at 6.0%.
MugiBegging for White Socks, then settling down with maple... my flavor mood swings are getting dramatic!
Hop BroHinmoto Brewing's Little Thing is also 4.5%, with light, easy hop character that suits a hot day and works nicely between richer pours.
MugiCrisp, bitter, sweetly aromatic, and toasty all in one lineup—perfect! At ¥1,200 plus tax for large and ¥900 plus tax for small, I want to try them as small pours.
Hop BroOne important note: with the typhoon approaching, they will not tap replacements after sell-outs and may close if nobody arrives by 10 p.m. Check opening status first, then travel safely.
MugiGot it! Let's head early to Marumugi on the second floor of Ichibankan Building in Arakicho—and once we're safely there, aim for a five-beer tasting toast!
