Marumugi in Shinjuku lists five draft beers for Aug. 14
The beer pub Marumugi in Arakicho, Shinjuku, posted its Aug. 14 tap list featuring five Japanese craft beers from Ise Kadoya, Minoh, Miyazaki Hideji, Yokohama Beer, and Ushi Tora. The lineup spans lager, wheat beer, hazy IPA, altbier, and West Coast IPA.
Hop BroArakicho's Ji-Beer Bar Marumugi has a seriously good five-tap lineup for August 14.
MugiWhat! A calm little beer pub in Shinjuku is pouring such a wide range all at once?
Hop BroYep. There's Isekadoya's Yorimichi Lager, Minoh Beer's domestic peach weizen, Hideji Beer's lemon Session Hazy IPA, Yokohama Beer's Alt, and Ushitora's West Coast IPA.
MugiHold on, Session Hazy IPA already sounds like three beer quizzes stacked together!
Hop BroIn plain terms, session means lighter and easier to keep drinking, and hazy means cloudy with a softer texture. Then you add that fresh-squeezed lemon character on top.
MugiOhhh, so basically it's an IPA that smells bright and goes down easy. That sounds like peak summer beer to me!
Hop BroMeanwhile, Yokohama Beer's Alt brings toastiness and gentle malt depth. It's not flashy, but it's a classic German-style choice.
MugiFrom peachy weizen to toasty alt, that range is wild. If my mood had five personalities, this would be a full rescue lineup!
Hop BroPrices are easy to work with too: large from 1,200 yen plus extra, small from 900 yen plus extra. And Marumugi's upstairs setup is perfect for a slow thoughtful pint.
MugiAnd they note Tuesdays and holidays have been closed since December 5, 2024, right? On a normal open day like this, I'd absolutely debate between the peach weizen and lager first.
Hop BroThen you finish with Ushitora's HOP SNIPEER IPA and let the hops take over. It's basically a cross-Japan tasting flight in one visit.
MugiI'm done for. My stomach isn't reacting, my throat is. Now I really want that first glass at Marumugi.
