Marumugi in Arakicho Lists Five Craft Beers for August 28
Beer Pub Marumugi in Tokyo’s Arakicho area has posted its craft beer lineup for August 28. The tap list features five Japanese brews from Fujizakura Heights Beer, Ise Kadoya Beer, Shonan Beer, Baird Brewing, and Ushitora Brewery.
Hop BroArakicho's Ji-Beer Bar Marumugi dropped a tap list for August 28 that's seriously strong. From Fujizakura Heights Beer to Ushitora Brewery, the five pours are lined up perfectly for a tasting run.
MugiWhat! There's a paradise like that on a second floor in Shinjuku? Just hearing five beers on tap makes my after-work feet want to walk there on their own!
Hop BroFirst up is Diamond side BEAT from Fujizakura Heights Beer. It's an anniversary pilsner, 5.5%, with a soft hop aroma and a crisp, very easy-drinking finish.
MugiHold on, what does drinkable mean? We're talking about flavor and suddenly it sounds like a finishing move!
Hop BroNot a finishing move, just goes down easy. It means it isn't too heavy, and the next sip comes naturally, which is exactly what you want in a good pilsner.
MugiOkay, then what about Isekadoya Beer's Dank Dank Dank!!? The name is way too intense. It sounds like the hops are holding a board meeting in the can!
Hop BroThat's a 7.0% IPA, and the star is its dank aroma. You get resin, a green edge, and that old-school IPA personality people still chase.
MugiThere it is again, beer jargon! Is dank legal? I'm picturing the smell of a secret clubhouse under the floorboards!
Hop BroHonestly, that's not far off. Think of it as a deep grassy aroma. Then you've also got Shonan Beer's fruity Summer Orange Ale, Baird Brewing's light Public House Bitter, and Ushitora Brewery's summer-ready session IPA, Seiryo Inryosui.
MugiWow, this is the kind of lineup where even the drinking order is fun. I want to start with the orange ale, take a breather with the British bitter, and crush the session IPA at the end!
Hop BroAnd Marumugi is good at a rotating tap lineup that actually explains each beer's character. Doing the small pour for 900 yen plus alpha, then upgrading your favorite to a large at 1,200 yen plus alpha, already sounds like the right move, and now I want one too.
MugiThat settles it, I want a pint right now. Let's toast with Fujizakura first and close with Ushitora at the end!
