Hop BroThe Akihabara beer pub Craft Beer 2mugi has put out its draft lineup for April 14. Led by Inkhorn's Hazy, all six taps are distinctive, and today they're really going all out.
MugiWhoa! Even just six taps unveiled sounds like a lot, and there are Hazy, Mild, and Sour too? If I tasted them all, my stomach would probably end up having a beer meeting!
Hop BroAnd this place is selected by a Doemens-certified beer sommelier. So it's not just a lineup that happens to have Inkhorn's Hazy, Matsumoto x Kanpai's Mild, Songbird's Blonde, Yorocco's Pils, Mikkeller's WCIPA, and Sakura no Nikukyu's Sour.
MugiWhat! Is Mild so plain? Just from the name, it sounds so gentle it's almost scary...
Hop BroNot plain at all. Mild is all about malt depth. It's the kind that doesn't hit you over the head with hops, but slowly brings out the sweetness and toastiness of the malt, and that's what makes it even more interesting alongside easygoing styles like Blonde and Pils.
MugiOhh! So the snap of WCIPA is a different kind of kick, then. Just the name Mikkeller makes it feel like the world suddenly got bigger!
Hop BroExactly. WCIPA stands for West Coast IPA, and it tends to make the hop profile come through crisp and clear. Add the hazy softness of Hazy and the sharp acidity of Sour, and today's flavor range is really wide.
MugiAnd they even mention gizzard confit and spring cabbage in the article? That's unfair! It feels like they're seriously trying to get us drinking, not just with beer but with snacks too.
Hop BroThat's what makes Craft Beer 2mugi great: pairing craft beer with small dishes is genuinely fun. It's easy to get to from Akihabara Station, and the tap rotation is fast, so if there's something you want, early is the way to go.
MugiI really want to go now... it feels like the perfect day for a tasting flight. Start with Hazy and finish with Sour, and I probably won't be able to go home happy!
