Marumugi in Shinjuku serves five craft beers on July 22
Marumugi, a beer pub in Arakicho, Shinjuku, published its July 22 tap list. The lineup features five beers from Shiga Kogen, HOPDOG Brewing, Baird Brewing, Ise Kadoya Brewery, and OGA Brewing, available in both large and small pours.
Hop BroToday, Shinjuku Arakicho’s Ji Beer Bar Marumugi dropped its July 22 tap list, and it’s built for summer.
MugiWhat! Five summer pours? That’s how you walk in for one drink and leave emotionally split in five!
Hop BroYou can pick large 1,200 yen / small 900 yen pours, and it’s in a calm area within walking distance of Yotsuya-sanchome, so it’s perfect after work.
MugiOoh! Then is Africa Pale Ale the first pick? That name already sounds like a vacation!
Hop BroThat’s a pale ale from Shiga Kogen Beer: light on the palate, but the hops still show up clearly. The nice part is that hop snap in the finish.
MugiWhat even is hop snap? Why does that sound like you’re reviewing kitchen knives instead of beer?
Hop BroIt means the bitterness and aroma have clean edges, so the finish doesn’t drag. In normal words, it’s clean, crisp refreshment.
MugiOkay, that helps! But HOPDOG BREWING’s Akita Peach Sour is calling me too. Peach, but not too sweet? Dangerous.
Hop BroThat one’s a fruit cider made with Akita peach juice, dry and tangy. And Baird Brewing’s Cool Breeze Pils is a summer-only Bohemian pils with bright hops and solid malt flavor.
MugiWait, you just slipped in Bohemian pils like that’s normal human language! I need a translation!
Hop BroBasically, it’s a lager that drinks smoothly but still keeps aroma and malt depth. Then Isekadoya’s Brown Ale is toasty, OGA BREWING’s Red Post IPA feels soft and sunset-like, and now I want the whole flight.
MugiI want to start small with the peach one and finish with Red Post IPA! Pick by your mood at Marumugi is not a detour, it’s the destination!
