Beer bar Marumugi in Tokyo's Arakicho district published its July 17 tap lineup. The list features five beers from four breweries, including Shiga Kogen Beer, Ise Kadoya Beer, Romantic Village Craft Brewery, and OGA BREWING, spanning pale ale, IPA, lager, and brown ale.
Hop BroMarumugi in Arakicho is pouring five fresh taps on July 17. With Shiga Kogen Beer and Isekadoya in the mix, this lineup is seriously strong.
MugiWait, four breweries, five beers? That is tiny but elite. Pale ale to brown ale in one night sounds dangerous for my self-control!
Hop BroShiga Kogen's Africa Pale Ale drinks light, and Isekadoya's Lush Hop IPA goes full citrus aroma. Hop fans hear that and start nodding automatically.
MugiHold on, hop definition? What is that supposed to mean? Does the beer have a side profile now? A sharp-nosed IPA?
Hop BroHere, hop definition means the aroma and bitterness land clearly instead of feeling blurry. Think of a lemony note that snaps into focus.
MugiOkay! Then what about Ritsunosuke Monogatari Bakushu, that German lager from Romantic Village? The name already sounds like a historical drama.
Hop BroThat one is all about grainy malt depth from Tochigi-grown barley. It finishes clean like a lager should, but the flavor keeps quietly building.
MugiOoh, a slow-burn beer! So Isekadoya's brown ale is the toasty malt one? Like standing outside a bakery and suddenly trusting the universe?
Hop BroPretty much. Malt means germinated barley, and this brown ale layers toasty malt with gentle bitterness for a calm, grounded pint.
MugiAnd OGA BREWING's Aka Post IPA is a sunset-colored pour? That name and look together are almost unfair. I would absolutely make a detour for that.
Hop BroFrom 6 p.m. to midnight, with large pours at 1,200 yen plus and small at 900 yen plus, it's perfect for side-by-side tasting. I'm in real danger of getting pulled into Marumugi tonight.
MugiThen it's settled. Tonight at Marumugi, I want the bright hops, the lager snap, and the brown ale toastiness in one run. This article fully made me want a beer.
