Hop BroAkihabara's Craft Beer 2mugi has put out its taps for April 15. Six taps covering Hazy, Mild, Blonde, Rice Ale, NZ WCIPA, and Sour make for a pretty wide range.
MugiWhoa! All-around coverage with six taps? You can enjoy so many different flavors all at once? Just reading the names is making my brain busy!
Hop BroExactly. And at the top of the list is Nara / Hazy(Soon!). It's still waiting to be tapped, but Hazy is a cloudy, juicy style that really lets hop aroma shine.
MugiHuh! But what's with the Soon label? It's like a movie trailer. Is waiting to drink it part of the event?
Hop BroPretty much. Announcing it in advance lets regulars get excited and wonder, "Will it be on today?" There is a real thrill to a keg waiting to be tapped.
MugiI see! So what kind of beer is Mild? The name sounds gentle, but is it really gentle?
Hop BroMild is a style that's easy to enjoy for its malt sweetness and toasty character, with the appeal of a calm, bready malt flavor. Here it's Matsumoto x Kanpai / Mild, so it's a good way to start if you want something more mellow than flashy.
MugiNice! So next would be Mikkeller / NZ WCIPA if you want to really turn things up? The name alone sounds like the hops are going wild!
Hop BroExactly. WCIPA stands for West Coast IPA, a style where the hops really come through. With NZ in the name, the character of New Zealand hops also comes through, bringing bright citrus and tropical aromas.
MugiAnd then finishing with a Sour is perfect, right? You can also slip in Blonde or Rice Ale along the way, so it's basically a flavor roller coaster!
Hop BroWhat's more, this is a place that also thinks about how its beers pair with small dishes, so it's just as much about eating as it is about drinking. Rather than hyping things up, it nicely shows you the taps for the day in a careful way.
MugiYeah, yeah, if you're out in Akihabara looking for today's pint, this is the place! Start with Mild, wait for the Hazy, and finish with a Sour, and then we basically have no choice but to go drinking!
