Marumugi in Shinjuku's Arakicho lines up five craft beers on Aug. 27
Beer pub Marumugi in Shinjuku’s Arakicho posted its August 27 tap list, featuring five beers from Yamanashi, Mie, Kanagawa, Shizuoka, and Tochigi. The lineup spans a pilsner, IPA, summer ale, bitter, and session IPA.
Hop BroJibeer Bar Marumugi in Arakicho has a seriously good five-tap summer lineup today. On August 27, it runs from pilsner to session IPA, which is perfect for lingering summer heat.
MugiWait, that much variety in one day? If it goes from pilsner to IPA, even a beginner like me would have fun choosing!
Hop BroAnd the base setup is large 1,200 yen and small 900 yen, with a few taps adding 100 yen. The five beers also span Yamanashi, Mie, Kanagawa, Shizuoka, and Tochigi, which is a smart spread.
MugiWow! But when Fujizakura Heights Beer’s Diamond side BEAT says drinkable, it sounds like some too-easy-to-drink trap to me!?
Hop BroThis one is dangerous in a good way. It’s a crisp anniversary pilsner, with hoppy aroma and an easy finish, perfect for the first glass.
MugiOkay! Then what does dank mean in Isekadoya Beer’s Dank Dank Dank!!? It doesn’t mean crawlspace humidity, right!?
Hop BroThat is an aggressive guess. In beer, that dank aroma means resinous, grassy, old-school IPA character with real punch.
MugiOooh, that suddenly sounds expert-level! Shonan Beer’s Summer Orange Ale already has a pure summer reward vibe just from the name.
Hop BroExactly. It’s a fruit-forward orange ale, light and refreshing for hot weather. And Baird Brewing’s Public House Bitter is only 4.0%, with that easygoing English bitter feel.
MugiHold on, Ushitora Brewery’s Seiryo Inryo Sui has a wild name too! But what is session IPA, do I need to sit down and take notes for it!?
Hop BroNo classroom required. It basically means lower-ABV IPA: you still get the aroma, but at around 4.5% it goes down fast and fits summer.
MugiWow, Fujizakura, Isekadoya, Shonan, Baird, and Ushitora all at once? I want a glass now. It’s like touring five breweries in one stop!
Hop BroExactly. Just remember they’re closed on Tuesdays and holidays, and tonight is for Marumugi with small pours and a full side-by-side tasting.
