Jibeer Bar Marumugi, a beer pub in Arakicho, Shinjuku, has announced its craft beer lineup for October 4. The selection spans a classic lager, an American IPA, a lemongrass-scented lager, a maple amber ale, and a light yet hoppy blonde ale.
Hop BroMarumugi Beer Bar in Arakicho, near Yotsuya-sanchome, has tapped its five beers for October 4. It is a great mix of classics and curveballs.
MugiWhoa! Breweries from across Japan all in one bar? Picking the first pint could become a serious committee meeting!
Hop BroFirst up is Baeren Classic from Iwate's Baeren Brewery. At 6.0% ABV, it is a classic lager with nicely balanced richness and bitterness.
MugiI think of lagers as crisp and easy-drinking. But if it has a satisfying body too, even my beginner palate will not get lost.
Hop BroThen there is Shonan Beer’s IPA American Style. IPA means India Pale Ale, a style designed to put hop aroma and bitterness in the spotlight.
MugiWhat is with that intimidating abbreviation? Does putting hops center stage mean you are standing in the middle of a concert, Hop Bro?
Hop BroPretty much! Hops can bring citrusy, grassy, vivid aromas, and an IPA lets you enjoy aroma and bitterness in a big way.
MugiNice! And Repubrew’s NO LEMON LAGER—despite the name, it is not actually lemon beer?
Hop BroThat is the trick: it evokes lemon through lemongrass, not lemon fruit. This 5.6% lager has a spiced-tea-like aroma.
MugiNo lemon, yet lemon vibes—I am confused and thirsty! And Romantic Village’s Maple Amber Ale is sweet and toasty too, right?
Hop BroExactly. At 6.0%, it is a rich beer worth lingering over. Shiga Kogen Beer’s Baby Blonde Miyama is 5.0%, lighter but still hoppy—perfect for reaching for another.
MugiClassic lager, IPA, aromatic lager, amber, and an easy-going option—five beers for every mood! I want to head to the second floor of Ichibankan Building and toast now!

志賀高原ビール’s Baby Blonde Miyama is the lightest beer in the selection at 5.0% ABV. It is described as easy-drinking but still clearly hoppy, with the kind of approachable profile that invites another pour.
