Hop BroToday, Craft Beer Bar Marumugi in Shinjuku Arakicho is interesting. On May 28, Repubrew, Ushitora Brewery, Shima Brewing, Y.MARKET BREWING, and COEDO are on tap, making for a very well-balanced lineup.
MugiWait, five labels on tap!? And the brewery names already sound delicious, just reading them makes my throat thirsty!
Hop BroThe one that works best as a first drink is Repubrew’s Namajime. It’s a classic 5.5% lager, and it’s an excellent opening act for Marumugi.
MugiWhy is a classic lager best as the first drink? You’re making it sound complicated!
Hop BroA lager has a clean fermentation aroma and a crisp drinking profile. That makes it perfect as a warm-up for the palate, and it prepares you nicely for the next IPA or ale.
MugiI see, so next up is the high-energy Ushitoraman Dyna IPA! At 6.5% and +100 yen, the name already sounds like the hops are running wild!
Hop BroExactly. In this case, the IPA’s hop aroma is the star. It has the kind of strong fragrance Ushitora Brewery is known for, and the bitterness has plenty of presence too, so hop lovers should be thrilled.
MugiThe aroma alone makes that much of a difference! So what’s Shima Brewing’s Shiranui Ale like? The name Shiranui is cute too!
Hop BroThis is an ale with a clear citrus character. At 5.0%, it’s easy to drink, and it has the bright impression you’d expect from Shima Brewing, so it’s the kind of beer you can sip smoothly without it feeling heavy.
MugiY.MARKET BREWING’s Over Drive Pale Ale also catches my eye! When it says soft mouthfeel, it already feels like something I can relax with.
Hop BroAnd then there’s COEDO’s Kyara, which is another great addition. It has floral aroma and richness, and even as a lager it has real presence, making it a strong choice to finish with.
MugiAnd if you can choose between 1,200 yen+α for large and 900 yen+α for small, you’ll want to compare a bunch of them! It’s closed on Tuesdays and public holidays, but I also need to remember it’s closed on June 7 and 8!
Hop BroIn Arakicho, within walking distance from Yotsuya-Sanchome, it’s the perfect place to savor each glass slowly. The more humid the day, the more you see a lineup like this and want to go out for a drink right away.
