Hop BroMarumugi, a craft beer bar in Tokyo's Arakicho, has five distinctive taps on today. That really sparks the urge to taste around.
MugiWhoa, five? And breweries from all over Japan? It sounds like a tiny beer trip!
Hop BroThe standout is Minami Shinshu Beer’s Apple Hop Shinano Gold Ver. It’s a 6.5% fruit beer made with Shinano Gold apples.
MugiApples and hops together? What is this—should I bring apple-candy snacks too? What does fruity with gentle acidity taste like?
Hop BroThink more than simple juice-like sweetness: crisp apple aroma with a neat touch of tartness. That makes it great as an aperitif.
MugiOoh, I want that first! But is there a clean, easy-drinking beer for a craft-beer beginner?
Hop BroTry Ushitorа Brewery’s 5.5% “Jikkuri Kotokoto Shikonda Pils.” A pils is a lager style, known for its crisp, refreshing finish.
MugiI thought “kotokoto” meant it was simmered in a pot! So lager means easy to gulp down, right?
Hop BroThat’s a very good start! Minoh Beer’s 6.0% “KANSHA29 -Rice IPA-” uses rice for a lighter feel while keeping hoppy aroma. For depth, Isekadoya Beer offers a 7.0% Imperial Red Ale with rich reddish-malt character.
MugiFrom a light IPA to a big red ale? And Baird Brewing’s citrus-hopped “Rising Sun Pale Ale” sounds tempting too. I want to start with the 1,000-yen small pours!
Hop BroLarge pours are 1,300 yen and small pours are 1,000 yen, so Marumugi makes exploring easy. Today, let’s toast with an apple-scented first glass!
MugiDone! Apple Hop first, then the pils… wait, I might try all five! Let’s head to Marumugi!
