Hop BroMarumugi, a beer pub in Arakicho, Shinjuku, has five beers on tap for November 5. It is a wonderfully balanced lineup!
MugiWhoa—¥1,300 for a large and ¥1,000 for a small? We need a serious tasting strategy!
Hop BroFirst up is MIDLANDHOPS from Tokyo's VECTOR BREWING. At 5.0% ABV, it is a fresh limited lager featuring seasonal hops.
MugiSeasonal hops sound like vegetables! What does fresh hop character actually change?
Hop BroThink of it as enjoying aroma at its most vibrant. Hops are plants that add bitterness and fragrance, so this is a beer to smell first.
MugiNice! That is our opening toast. But the name ONE MORE sounds dangerously persuasive!
Hop BroRepubrew's ONE MORE from Shizuoka is also 5.0%. It is made to go down easily, with a light, easy finish that fits food and conversation.
MugiAfter easy drinking, Shima Brewing's Brown IPA is 6.5%! Does toasty malt flavor mean something like baked bread?
Hop BroThat is very close! Malt is germinated barley; its toasted notes meet bright hops for the depth of Brown IPA. And Romantic Village's annual Cascade Premium Lager, 6.3%, brings citrus aroma too.
MugiThen we savor Baird Brewing's 7.5% Belgian-style Joy de Vivre at the end? With rich, layered flavor waiting, I want to head to Marumugi and taste them all!
