Maru Mugi Offers Five Craft Beers in Arakicho on September 27
Tokyo beer pub Maru Mugi has announced its craft beer lineup for September 27. The five-beer selection ranges from a classic lager and American IPA to hop-forward pale ale, amber ale, and a light blonde ale.
Hop BroMarumugi, the craft beer pub in Arakicho, has five distinctive taps on today. From lager to hop-forward ales, it is made for a tasting flight!
MugiWhoa! From classic to hoppy options all at once? I would happily get lost in front of those tap handles!
Hop BroStarting with Bearen Brewery in Iwate: Bearen Classic. It is a 6.0% lager with a satisfying balance of malt richness and bitterness.
MugiI hear “lager” all the time, but what is it exactly? Like beer’s classic all-star?
Hop BroThat is pretty close! Lagers ferment slowly at lower temperatures and often taste clean and crisp. In short, it is a clean, refreshing beer.
MugiNice! Then Shonan Beer’s American-style IPA is calling me. IPA means a big hit of bitterness, right?
Hop BroExactly. IPA puts hops in the spotlight for aroma and bitterness. Shinshu OH!LA!HO BEER’s CAPTAIN CROW EXTRA PALE ALE is known for its outrageous hop aroma, too.
Mugi“Outrageous” aroma? Like the hops have moved into the glass permanently!? Aroma means the beer’s fragrant character, right?
Hop BroRight—think citrus, tropical fruit, or fresh green notes. For something sweet and toasty, try Roman-tic Village’s Maple Amber Ale. It is 6.0% and costs an extra 100 yen.
MugiFor a lighter finish, I want Shiga Kogen Beer’s Baby Blonde Miyama! A light yet hoppy pour is the perfect excuse for one more. Let’s get to Marumugi and toast before September ends!
