Marumugi in Arakicho lists five craft beers for July 29
The beer pub Jibeer Bar Marumugi in Arakicho, Shinjuku, has published its July 29 tap lineup. The selection includes a meat-friendly Session IPA from Baird Brewing x Shibataya Sake Shop, an Akita peach sour, a summer pilsner, and more.
Hop BroArakicho’s Jibiru Bar Marumugi has a five-tap tasting party on July 29, and the lineup is strong.
MugiWhat, really? From meat-friendly IPA to dark beer in one lineup? That range is wild.
Hop BroThe headliner is Baird Brewing x Shibataya’s MEET² Session IPA. It’s built to lift the flavor of meat dishes, so it clearly wants food on the table.
MugiWait, what is a Session IPA exactly? IPA already sounds like the final boss of bitterness to me!
Hop BroBasically, it’s an easy-drinking IPA style. You still get aroma, but it stays light enough that you can eat, sip, and go right back for another bite.
MugiThat explanation somehow turned into gym class. But I’m stuck on the Akita peach sour already. The name alone sounds delicious.
Hop BroThat one’s from HOPDOG BREWING, and the key is its crisp, dry fruit character. It leans like a fruit cider, so it stays refreshing instead of sugary.
MugiNice! Then for a full summer gulp, the Cool Breeze Pils has to be a contender, right? Even the name feels air-conditioned.
Hop BroExactly. It’s Baird’s seasonal Bohemian pils, with snappy hops and malt that make it perfect when you want something bright and clean.
MugiAnd they’ve also got Baeren’s Schwarz plus Romantic Village’s Kampai IPA, right? Roasty dark beer and juicy IPA on the same day is such an overachiever move.
Hop BroRight. The Schwarz brings light roast depth, while Kampai IPA has peach-and-grape-like aroma with celebratory juiciness. And prices start at large 1,200 yen, small 900 yen, so it’s easy to pair by the glass.
MugiThat settles it. We’re going to Marumugi and I’m absolutely ordering meat with MEET², then panicking over whether to finish with pils or peach sour.
