Hop BroMarumugi Craft Beer Bar in Arakicho, Tokyo, has announced its five-beer October lineup for the 14th. It is perfect for an autumn tasting.
MugiWhat? From peach beer to dark beer? Five different taps sounds like we will run out of glasses!
Hop BroFirst is Minoh Beer’s Japanese Peach Weizen. At 5.0% ABV, it has juicy Shimizu white-peach aroma and a dry finish.
MugiDry, even though it is peach? Does that mean it is not like peach juice? A dry finish sounds complicated!
Hop BroIt means sweetness does not linger and the beer finishes cleanly. Weizen often uses wheat malt, giving it a soft, rounded texture too.
MugiWow! Then I want Ushitorra Brewery’s Hop Star IPA next. That name already sounds like the main character!
Hop BroAt 6.5% ABV, it balances nostalgic hop character with modern drinkability. Hops provide the aroma and bitterness—sometimes citrusy, sometimes herbal.
MugiSo hops are not just bitter? I thought they were beer’s chili pepper! They are an ingredient for aroma too!
Hop BroFor something dark, try Swan Lake Beer’s Swan Lake Porter from Niigata. It is 6.0% ABV, roasty yet mild. COEDO’s Beniaka also brings gentle sweetness and toastiness from Kawagoe sweet potato.
MugiPeach, hops, dark malt, sweet potato—this is a flavor field trip! And I want Isekadoya Beer’s food-friendly ESB with a meal.
Hop BroThat ESB is 5.0% ABV, with deep malt character and a crisp finish. Start with the 1,000-yen small pour, then choose a favorite for the 1,300-yen large.
MugiDeal! We will check the opening day and current availability, then have an autumn five-beer tasting in Arakicho. That peach weizen is calling me!
