Marumugi in Shinjuku lists five craft beers on June 25
Beer pub Jibeer Bar Marumugi in Arakicho, Shinjuku, published its June 25 tap lineup. The board features five beers from Y.MARKET BREWING, TWO RABBITS BREWING, Moji Port Retro Beer, Repubrew x open air brewing, and Shonan Beer, spanning IPA, wheat beer, and altbier.
Hop BroShinjuku's Jibiiru Bar Marumugi just posted its five-tap lineup for June 25, and the balance is so good I'm getting thirsty already.
MugiWait, Marumugi itself sounds adorable, but what kind of place is it? This already feels like a hidden beer lair!
Hop BroIt's a tiny beer pub on the second floor in Arakicho, three minutes from Yotsuya-Sanchome, perfect for a calm night when you actually want to choose your beer.
MugiNice! And if it really runs from IPA to Alt, even a beginner like me has somewhere safe to land.
Hop BroExactly. Y.MARKET BREWING's 12 DA CAPO is a light 4.5%, and TWO RABBITS BREWING's KIWI IPA goes 100% NZ hops, throwing out white grape and tropical fruit vibes.
MugiHold on, NZ hops just means hops from New Zealand, right? Why did this suddenly sound like a brewer board meeting?
Hop BroRight, and those hops often lean toward white grape and tropical fruit more than straight citrus. Basically, your aroma passport gets stamped for New Zealand in one sip.
MugiNo passport, great. But THUNDERSTRUCK IPA from Repubrew x open air brewing is a sansho spice IPA? Beer brought a Japanese pepper plot twist?
Hop BroThat's the fun part. The sansho gives a bright tingle instead of brute heat, and the hops layer on citrus and apricot. Then Amakusa Shiranui Weizen brings refreshing Shiranui citrus, while Shonan Beer Alt closes with elegant malt depth.
MugiOkay, small pours start at 900 yen plus, doors open at 6, and the July 4 event is already full? That makes me want to go tonight even more.
Hop BroReasonable response. This June 25 list runs from the easygoing 12 DA CAPO to the food-friendly Alt, so it practically begs for a full tasting run.
MugiThen it's settled. Let's hit Arakicho and clear them one by one until we personally verify that one-more-sip energy.
