Shinjuku local beer bar Marumugi to serve five beers including COEDO's "Marihana" on May 10
The beer pub and local beer bar Marumugi in Arakicho, Shinjuku Ward, has announced its tap lineup for May 10. Five beers will be available, including COEDO's "Marihana" and Y.MARKET BREWING's "Over Drive IPA," at large JPY 1,200+α and small JPY 900+α.
Hop BroI saw that local beer bar Marumugi in Arakicho, Shinjuku Ward, has posted its May 10 taps, and five beers are lined up, starting with COEDO's "Marihana."
MugiWait, so it's a five-beer lineup? With that many choices, my concentration would collapse before I even picked one!
Hop BroAnd the first one to watch is Marihana, COEDO's light session IPA. At 4.3%, it's the kind that brings a gentle citrus aroma.
MugiSo a session IPA means it's lighter and easier to drink, right? When I hear IPA, I feel like bitterness training is about to begin!
Hop BroExactly. The idea behind a session beer is to keep the alcohol lower so you can keep going for a few rounds. What's interesting about Marumugi's lineup that day is that it's built for tasting side by side.
MugiOh, then Y.MARKET BREWING's Over Drive IPA sounds interesting too! The name alone makes it sound like it's flooring the accelerator!
Hop BroExactly. It's an American IPA that layers a firm bitterness with tropical notes and a light sweetness. At 6.0%, and with an extra +100 yen, it's pretty straightforward.
MugiWait, tropical notes, sweetness, and more bitterness? That's a traffic jam of flavor! It's like the beer is holding a meeting in my head!
Hop BroThen when Ise Kadoya Beer's Mugi no Manimani comes in, everything settles down at once with its toastiness and crisp finish. It's the one that lets you drink smoothly, like it's calming the meeting in your brain.
MugiIt's fun how the lineup runs from citrus to toastiness, almost like being introduced to five beers with totally different personalities in sequence. And the final Komagatake Ale sounds gorgeous too!
Hop BroRight, Minami Shinshu Beer's Komagatake Ale is a Strong Golden Ale, and what makes it nice is that it feels rich while the citrus aroma spreads out. They're closed on Tuesdays and public holidays, so if you go, just make sure the date is right, and let's raise a glass on the second floor in Arakicho.
MugiYeah, this is definitely going on my tonight's candidate list! If I taste all five at Marumugi, I can head home looking like a proper beer connoisseur!
