Craft Beer 2 Mugi opens Friday at 3 p.m. with six draft beers
Craft Beer 2 Mugi, a beer pub in Kanda-Izumicho, Akihabara, is open Friday from 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. The lineup brings together six beers from Chiba, Kanagawa, and Nagano, including Mango Impact from SHIOKAZE BREW LAB and 839 (Hassaku) from NOROSHI BREWING.
Hop BroToday’s Akihabara pick is Craft Beer 2むぎ, and their Friday-only 3 p.m. opening lineup looks seriously strong. Six taps from Chiba, Kanagawa, and Nagano, so it works whether you escape early or settle in late.
MugiWhat! A Friday 3 p.m. opening is so early! If a place opens then, my throat is clocking out before the rest of me.
Hop BroAnd the lineup earns it. SHIOKAZE BREW LAB’s Mango Impact is a Fruited Pale Ale with a soft mango-like fruitiness that hangs around nicely.
MugiA mango beer already sounds like a winner! A tropical-style pour in Akihabara feels a little unfair, honestly.
Hop BroIt gets better. NOROSHI BREWING’s 839 (Hassaku) is a Fruited Sour Ale, so you get that bright hassaku citrus tang. Same fruit category, totally different direction from Mango Impact.
MugiNice! So it’s not just sweet fruit stuff, there’s also a tart fruit profile in the mix. A tasting flight would turn my mouth into a field trip.
Hop BroExactly, and then Shiga Kogen’s SNOW MONKEY IPA is a Hazy IPA, while YOROCCO BEER’s Washed Out is a West Coast Pilsner, so the contrast between soft and crisp is built right in.
MugiHold on, what is hazy exactly!? That sounds cool, but my brain just turned slightly cloudy trying to keep up.
Hop BroIn simple terms, it’s a cloudy, softer IPA. Usually less sharply bitter, more rounded, and easier to read as juicy and aromatic.
MugiOkay, got it! Then West Coast Pilsner means the sharper, snappier one on the other side, right? Even the name feels like it stands up straight.
Hop BroThat’s the idea. And there’s Yokohama Bay Brewing Co.’s Yuzu Weizen too, plus QR menu ordering and even horse mackerel sashimi, so this place is built for real pairings, not just sipping.
MugiSix beers and sashimi is basically the correct answer to Friday. I want horse mackerel with yuzu first, then finish with 839 and pretend I made responsible decisions.
Craft Beer 2 Mugi opens at 3 p.m. on Friday
Craft Beer 2 Mugi, a beer pub in Kanda-Izumicho, Akihabara, is open on Friday from 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. This draft lineup features six beers from breweries in Chiba, Kanagawa, and Nagano, offering a broad range of styles from fruit-forward pale ale and sour ale to pilsner, hazy IPA, and fruit wheat beer.
Today's Draft Lineup
- SHIOKAZE BREW LAB "Mango Impact" / Fruited Pale Ale
- SONGBIRD BEER "Summer Porte" / Porte
- NOROSHI BREWING "839 (Hassaku)" / Fruited Sour Ale
- YOROCCO BEER "Washed Out" / West Coast Pilsner
- Tamamura Honten (Shiga Kogen Beer) "SNOW MONKEY IPA" / Hazy IPA
- Yokohama Bay Brewing Co. "Yuzu Weizen" / Fruits Weizen
The selection leans into citrus and tropical notes, which fits the season well. Mango Impact brings a juicy, fruit-driven profile, while 839 (Hassaku) adds a sharper citrus-sour angle. Washed Out delivers a West Coast Pilsner take, SNOW MONKEY IPA covers the hazy side, and Yuzu Weizen rounds things out with a bright, aromatic finish.
The pub also offers a QR-code digital menu, and fresh horse mackerel sashimi is listed as a food pairing. With a counter-centered room and a beer-first approach, it works well both for a quick after-work pint and for a more deliberate tasting session.
