Hop BroMarumugi, a beer pub in Arakicho, has lined up five distinctive taps for October 3. From lagers to IPAs, choosing will be the hard part.
MugiWhat?! We can travel from Iwate to Nagano through beer? That is faster than an actual trip!
Hop BroLeading the list is Baeren Brewery’s Baeren Classic. It is a classic Iwate lager at 6.0% ABV, with a lovely balance of richness and bitterness.
MugiI thought lagers were always light. What is a rich, full-bodied lager like? A refreshing-looking beer with dependable-senior energy?
Hop BroThat is pretty close! Richness comes largely from malt flavor and body. Baeren Classic is a satisfying classic lager whose bitterness stays nicely balanced, so it works well with food.
MugiOoh! Next is Shonan Beer’s American-style IPA. Is IPA the style where hops suddenly introduce themselves very loudly?
Hop BroThat description is remarkably accurate! IPA means India Pale Ale, a style built around hop aroma and bitterness—in other words, hops take center stage more than they do in a lager.
MugiNo way! This is so your specialty—your eyes are sparkling! For something lighter, I am curious about Repubrew’s NO LEMON LAGER too.
Hop BroThat is a 5.6% lager from Shizuoka’s Repubrew. Then there is Romantick Village Craft Brewery’s Maple Amber Ale from Tochigi, with deeper color and fuller malt character.
MugiFor the finish, maybe Shiga Kogen Beer’s 5.0% Baby Blonde Miyama! Put all five in front of me in Arakicho, and I will want every single one after work!
