Marumugi, a beer pub in Arakicho, Shinjuku, has shared its draft beer lineup for August 16. Large pours are listed at JPY 1,200 plus a surcharge for some beers, while small pours are JPY 900 plus a surcharge, making it easy to sample across styles.

The lineup includes five beers:

- Yorimichi no Lager / Ise Kadoya Beer (Mie), 4.5%
A light lager suited to a first pour.
- Osaru IPA / Minoh Beer (Osaka), 6.0%
A hop-forward American IPA with a crisp finish.
- Meyer Lemon Radler / Ise Kadoya Beer (Mie), 4.0%
A refreshing summer-friendly radler with citrus character.
- Alt / Yokohama Beer (Kanagawa), 5.5%
A traditional altbier with toasted malt and gentle depth.
- Seiryou Inryou Sui / Ushitora Brewery (Tochigi), 4.5%
A session IPA presented as an easy-drinking, summer-ready beer.

The post also describes Seiryou Inryou Sui as having pineapple and orange-like aromas with restrained bitterness, and frames Osaru IPA as a semi-regular IPA brewed with five American hops. That makes the lineup feel balanced: one lager, two hop-driven beers, a radler for hotter weather, and an altbier for something maltier.

Marumugi is located on the second floor of Ichibankan Building in Arakicho, a neighborhood in central Tokyo known for its small bars and late-evening drinking spots. It is closed on Tuesdays and public holidays, and the day’s selection reflects the pub’s straightforward approach: focus on what is on tap now, and let the beers speak for themselves.
