Hop BroToday's topic is Marumugi, the craft beer bar in Arakicho, Shinjuku Ward. The June 1 draft menu is out, and it lines up five labels: Repubrew, Baird Brewing, Shima Brewery, Y.MARKET BREWING, and COEDO.
MugiWhoa, five labels on tap! And just from the name, it sounds like some kind of holy land of barley, which makes me curious!
Hop BroThe price is 1,200 yen + extra for a large and 900 yen + extra for a small, and some labels are an additional 100 yen. First up is Repubrew's Hon Nama, at 5.5%, a basic starter that's easy to choose for the first drink.
MugiStarter? What even is that! You mean the one that's good for the first drink? Am I right that it's the kind that doesn't hit you with too much personality right away?
Hop BroExactly, something perfect for warming up. By contrast, Baird Brewing's Suruga Bay Imperial IPA is 8.5% and is for people who want a solid bitterness. IPA is a style where the hop aroma and bitterness come forward.
MugiWhoa, extra bitter, huh! I might be the type whose face scrunches up, but I still kind of want to try it!
Hop BroNext is Shima Brewery's Shiranuhi Ale, a light beer with citrus notes up front. Y.MARKET BREWING's Over Drive Pale Ale is also one you can enjoy for its aroma, and pale ales are easier to understand if you remember them as balanced styles.
MugiOhh, a fragrance-first pale ale is stylish! But is lager the kind you drink at the end?
Hop BroKyara-Kyara- from COEDO is great as a finisher. It's a lager with aroma and body, so it feels like it brings everything to a close. Marumugi is also just a 3-minute walk from Yotsuya-Sanchome Station, open from 18:00 to 24:00, and closed on Tuesdays and public holidays. It will be closed on June 7 and 8 for the owner's schedule, and closed on the 9th as well, so regular service resumes on the 10th.
MugiThat is a lot of information, and it makes me want to have a relaxed tasting! I want to line up five pours at Marumugi and drink while debating which one to start with today!
