Hop BroMarumugi in Arakicho, Yotsuya has five distinctive taps on offer. That makes choosing an early-autumn pint seriously fun.
MugiWhat? We can sample all five? With pale ale and IPA both there, I’d be frozen in front of the menu!
Hop BroA highlight is COEDO’s Akane ale. It’s a 5.0% American Pale Ale with a gentle aroma and smoothness that feels like an autumn breeze.
MugiIs an American Pale Ale less bitter than an IPA? That gentle hop character sounds perfect for craft-beer newcomers.
Hop BroExactly. Pale ales usually showcase hop aroma with more restrained bitterness than IPAs. For bitterness fans, Y.MARKET BREWING’s Hysteric IPA comes in at 7.0%.
MugiSeven percent! Is it hysterical in name and flavor? That carefully crafted bitterness might make my taste buds hold a meeting!
Hop BroFor a meeting break, try Minoh Beer’s Japanese Peach Weizen, Hakuhou version. A weizen has a soft, airy feel thanks to wheat malt.
MugiWhat is that! Juicy Hakuhou peach with soft wheat sounds like biting into a peach while sipping beer!
Hop BroFor a historic mood, there’s Mojiko Retro Beer’s Sakura Beer; for an easygoing session, Great Dane Brewing’s EVERYDAY IPA is ideal. The latter is a 4.7% session IPA.
MugiDoes session IPA mean IPA for a music session? What does lighter IPA actually mean?
Hop BroIt means a hop-forward IPA with a relatively lower ABV, made for enjoying over a longer gathering. At Marumugi, small pours start at 900 yen, so you can try small pours by preference.
MugiAkane, then Peach Weizen, then EVERYDAY IPA... that’s my perfect route! On the second floor of Ichibankan in Arakicho, I want to toast tonight!
