Marumugi in Shinjuku lists five craft beers for July 30
Beer Pub Marumugi in Arakicho, Shinjuku, released its craft beer lineup for July 30. The day’s taps span five beers from breweries in Shizuoka, Akita, Iwate, and Aichi, including a Session IPA, a fruit-forward sour, a summer pilsner, a Schwarz, and a hop-forward pale ale.
Hop BroToday’s update from Ji Beer Bar Marumugi in Arakicho, Shinjuku is a five-tap lineup for July 30, and the food-friendly balance is really well built.
MugiWait, five taps today already sounds dangerous for my decision-making. What’s on the list?
Hop BroFirst up is Baird Brewing x Shibataya’s MEET² (Meat & Meat). It’s a 5.0% Session IPA designed to lift the savory punch of meat dishes.
MugiSession IPA means all-night drinking beer, right? That name sounds like a trap for never going home.
Hop BroPretty close, actually. Think of it as a lighter IPA with restrained alcohol, so it stays easy to drink alongside food.
MugiOkay, that makes sense! Then what about HOPDOG BREWING’s Akita Peach Sour? The name already smells like summer vacation.
Hop BroThat one’s 3.5%, and the key is crisp and dry. It’s not sugary peach juice, it’s more like peach aroma that zips through cleanly.
MugiNice! And they also have Baird Brewing’s Cool Breeze Pils. Also, “Bohemian Pils” sounds weirdly royal.
Hop BroThat part matters. This summer-only Bohemian Pils is a lager that shows off refreshing hops and rich malt, perfect for big thirsty gulps.
MugiI’m also curious about Baeren’s Schwarz. Dark but easy-drinking feels like a full comedy twist in beer form.
Hop BroExactly. Schwarz has a toasty roasted note but still drinks lightly, and Y.MARKET BREWING’s Purple Jet Sky is a hop-boosted pale ale, so the lineup stays sharp all the way through.
MugiAt large for 1,200 yen plus and small for 900 yen plus, this is way beyond just one drink in Shinjuku. I just need to remember they’re closed on Tuesdays and holidays.
Hop BroI can already see the perfect drinking order: meat with MEET², peach sour and pils in the middle, then Schwarz to finish. Talking about it has fully made me want a glass.
