Hop BroToday, "Local Beer Bar Marumugi" in Arakicho, Shinjuku Ward, is the place to be. With Repubrew and even Isekadoya Brewery on the April 13 tap list, it's a lineup that really gets my heart racing.
MugiWhat! Five domestic beers? If there are that many, I wouldn't know where to start, and I'd probably freeze at the entrance!
Hop BroStart with HEARTS UP! IPA. It's Repubrew's 5.0% beer, introduced as a spring-colored, gently hazy brew, and I like that it doesn't get too sharp even though it's an IPA.
MugiWhat does that mean? Does Hazy mean it's cloudy? If it looks foggy, does that make the taste foggy too?
Hop BroRight, roughly speaking, it means a soft mouthfeel. The hop aroma still comes through, but the bitterness doesn't get too prickly, and it tends to have a juice-like, approachable character.
MugiOhh! Then Mugi 4.5ro sounds interesting too! The name alone feels energetic, and a Pilsner with biscuit-like aroma sounds almost unfair, doesn't it?
Hop BroThat's what makes it fun. With Romantic Village Craft Brewery's Pilsner-like crispness, the toasted aroma of freshly baked biscuits and bitterness come through, so you can both drink and analyze it at the same time.
MugiOnly you would analyze beer like that, former brewery staff! So what's interesting about Mojiko Kobumikan Bavarian Weiss? The name alone is already packed with information!
Hop BroIt's a beer from Mojiko Retro Beer, and what's appealing is how the aroma opens from citrus to flowers. The wheat-beer-style aroma spreads softly, so it feels like spring arrives through your nose first.
MugiI see! But STRUGGLE IPA "Top" with its 10 hop varieties also sounds tempting, and I can't ignore the toastiness of Biscuit Hop either! I have to drink them in order!
Hop BroThat's exactly right. Near Yotsuya-Sanchome Station, from 18:00 to 24:00, I want to enjoy every bit of hop intensity and toastiness while comparing the beers for an extra 100 yen each.
MugiYeah, this is definitely my drink of the night! I'll start with the gently hazy one, then finish with STRUGGLE IPA so I can look smug!
Hop BroThat's a good flow. Let's make it a night of excitement over the differences in aroma while tasting beers in Arakicho.
