Marumugi in Arakicho lists five summer-friendly drafts on Aug. 23
Marumugi, a beer pub in Arakicho, Shinjuku, has published its draft lineup for August 23. Five beers from Fujizakura Kogen Beer, Minoh Beer, Ise Kadoya Beer, Baird Brewing, and Ushitora Brewery make up a light, refreshing selection for warm-weather drinking.
Hop BroI need to tell you about Marumugi's summer taps. Ji-Beer Bar Marumugi in Arakicho, Shinjuku just lined up five draft beers for August 23, all picked for hot weather.
MugiWait, five beers on tap already sounds dangerous! Are we talking easy, crushable summer stuff?
Hop BroExactly, it's a light and breezy lineup. You've got a pilsner, IPA, radler, English bitter, and session IPA, with large pours at 1,200 yen plus and small pours at 900 yen plus.
MugiHold on, session IPA sounds like an IPA you drink during a meeting. What is that?
Hop BroFair question. It means lower ABV, easier drinking IPA, so you get hop aroma without the heavy finish. And a radler is basically beer with bright citrusy refreshment layered in, which is perfect in summer.
MugiOhhh, festival-energy lineup! So which ones are your must-tries?
Hop BroFirst, Fujizakura Heights Beer's Diamond side BEAT is an anniversary pilsner with crisp hop aroma and great drinkability. Then Minoh Beer's Osaru IPA is 6.0%, floral, snappy, and dangerously repeatable.
MugiJust from the name, Meyer Lemon Radler has me. If it's sweet-tart, I am absolutely inhaling that on a hot day.
Hop BroThat's a solid pick. Isekadoya Brewery nailed the gulpable angle, and Baird Brewing's Public House Bitter is perfect bitter training wheels. It's light, gentle, and lets the malt show without getting heavy.
MugiWow, tasting flight mode activated! And Ushitora Brewery's Seiryo Inryo Sui has the cheekiest name, so I want to attack the list with small pours.
Hop BroThat's the move. It's a 4.5% session IPA, so it's built for a crushable finale. Marumugi is on the second floor in Arakicho, so it's exactly the kind of stop you make when you need a cool-down pint.
MugiThen it's settled! For the first glass dilemma, I'm going to stand outside debating radler versus pilsner like it's a life decision.
