Shinjuku's Marumugi posts a July 2 tap list with five craft beers
The beer pub Marumugi in Arakicho, Shinjuku, has published its July 2 tap lineup. The list features five beers from COEDO, TWO RABBITS BREWING, Mojiko Retro Beer, Repubrew x open air brewing, and Shonan Beer, spanning crisp, tropical, wheaty, and food-friendly styles.
Hop BroThis article's July 2 tap list is seriously good. At Ji-Beer Bar Marumugi in Arakicho, Shinjuku, they've lined up five beers, including COEDO's Aoheki AO.
MugiWait, five beers on tap like that? My after-work self just lost all restraint! What kinds are on the board?
Hop BroThe spread is impressive, a wide style range for such a small pub. You've got a Cold IPA, an IPA, a weizen, a quirky sansho IPA, and an alt.
MugiHold on, that Cold IPA sounds made up! Is it an IPA that meditated in front of a refrigerator?
Hop BroWhat it means is lager-like crispness with IPA hop character layered on top. COEDO's Aoheki AO is 5.5%, clean and snappy, then the aroma bursts open.
MugiOoh, KIWI IPA though. I thought they threw actual kiwi fruit in there, but this is about NZ hops?
Hop BroExactly, it's all about NZ hops. TWO RABBITS BREWING's KIWI IPA is 6.0% and pushes that tropical fruit aroma right to the front.
MugiBut that sansho IPA is wild, isn't it? My mouth feels like it's about to host a forest festival.
Hop BroThat's the fun part. THUNDERSTRUCK IPA's twist is how Repubrew × open air brewing smash together sansho spice and hop aroma. Meanwhile, Mojiko Retro Beer's Amakusa Shiranui Weizen stays bright, and Shonan Beer's Alt brings elegant malt for food.
MugiSo it's a great lineup for comparisons. Small is 900 yen plus, large is 1,200 yen plus, and now my brain is planning the order.
Hop BroAnd it's walkable from Yotsuya-sanchome, which helps. Plus on July 4 they've got an unveiling event for an original coffee-scented beer produced by Kanda Hinomaru.
MugiAfter hearing that, my first pour has to be Aoheki AO, and then I want the sansho one for chaos.
Hop BroThat's a solid route. Finish on the Alt and you can make a clean lap through all five beers.
MugiA little beer trip right in Shinjuku? Tonight it's Marumugi for me, no question!
