Marumugi in Shinjuku’s Arakicho posts a five-beer summer tap lineup
Marumugi, a beer pub in Arakicho, Shinjuku, Tokyo, updated its July 26 craft beer lineup. The board features five beers from Baird, HOPDOG, Baeren, and Romantik-mura, with a mix of food-friendly and summer-ready styles.
Hop BroToday, Arakicho's Ji Beer Bar Marumugi updated its taps, and the lineup of five summer-friendly pours looks seriously sharp.
MugiWhat! Five summer pours already sounds dangerous in the best way. What’s on the list?
Hop BroThe headline pick is Baird Brewing x Shibataya’s MEET² (Meat & Meat), a Session IPA meant to boost the umami of meat dishes.
MugiWait, what! Session IPA suddenly sounds like a science class. So what does that actually mean?
Hop BroIn simple terms, it’s an IPA you can keep drinking. It still has bright hop aroma, but it stays light enough to pair with food without wearing you out.
MugiOoh! And they’ve got HOPDOG BREWING’s Akita Peach Sour too? That’s peak summer reward energy.
Hop BroExactly. It’s a dry fruit cider with the aroma of Akita peaches, super crisp and refreshing. Then Baird’s Cool Breeze Pils is a summer-only Bohemian pils with hop brightness and rich malt flavor up front.
MugiBohemian? Now this beer menu is taking me on a trip! And if they’ve got Baeren’s Schwarz too, the dark beer slot is fully covered.
Hop BroSchwarz brings roasty depth but stays light on the palate, which is the trick. And Roman Village Craft Brewery’s Shukuhai IPA is a juicy IPA with peach and grape-like notes, made to celebrate its 30th anniversary.
MugiFrom food-friendly IPA to peach cider, pils, dark beer, and juicy IPA, this is basically a full tasting course. Large or small, I want to go there and raise a glass right now!
Marumugi, a beer pub on the second floor of Ichibankan Building in Arakicho, Shinjuku, Tokyo, posted its craft beer lineup for July 26. The list is priced at 1,200 yen plus add-on for a large pour and 900 yen plus add-on for a small pour, with five distinct beers on offer.
The standout entry is `MEET² (Meat & Meet)` from Baird Brewing x Shibataya Liquor (Shizuoka). It is presented as a Session IPA designed to bring out the flavor of meat dishes. `Akita no Momo no Sour` comes from HOPDOG BREWING (Akita) and is described as a dry, refreshing fruit cider with the aroma of Akita peaches. `Cool Breeze Pils` from Baird Brewing (Shizuoka) is a summer-only Bohemian pilsner built around crisp hops and malt character.
For darker beer fans, `Schwarz` from Baeren Brewery (Iwate) offers roasty notes with a surprisingly light finish. The lineup is rounded out by `Shukuhai IPA` from Romantik-mura Craft Brewery (Tochigi), a juicy IPA with peach and grape notes created for the brewery’s 30th anniversary.
Marumugi also notes that Tuesdays and national holidays are closed. Taken together, the lineup shows the pub’s usual range: a neighborhood beer bar in Arakicho where a food-friendly Session IPA, a seasonal pilsner, a fruit cider, a schwarzbier, and a juicy IPA can all be compared side by side.
