Craft Beer 2mugi Unveils 5-Tap Draft Lineup for April 30
Craft Beer 2mugi (Akihabara, Tokyo) has revealed its draft lineup for April 30. The five beers on tap span a wide range, from saison to hazy DIPA, including a collaboration oolong lager from Yorocco, Songbird, Garage Project, Inkhorn, and Yatsugatake Beer x Taihu Brewing.
Hop BroAkihabara's Craft Beer 2mugi has rolled out a five-tap draft lineup for April 30. It stretches from saison to hazy DIPA, so it's a pretty playful selection.
MugiWait, all five taps are different styles!? That alone could decide today's mood!
Hop BroFirst up, TAP1 is Yorocco Beer's Submarine Forest, a Sea Weed Saison. It's a saison made with wakame, and what's interesting is how its lightness carries a subtle ocean-like nuance.
MugiWakame goes into beer!? So it's basically a seaweed-flavored beer? That feels like school lunch and an izakaya suddenly got merged together!
Hop BroNice reaction. Saison's hallmark is its yeast-driven spicy, dry character, and when you layer wakame's personality on top, it drinks smoothly while leaving a lingering finish.
MugiI see, then TAP2, Songbird Beer's Natsumikan & Ginger, sounds promising too! Summer mandarin orange and ginger already sound delicious just from the aroma!
Hop BroThat Belgian ale is all about balancing citrus and spice. If the fruitiness comes first and the ginger brings a crisp finish afterward, it should pair well with food too.
MugiSo the hop-heavy one is TAP3, right? Garage Project's Boss Level sounds like a final boss already!
Hop BroExactly. It's a US hopped Ultra IPA with a big hop attack. It's for people who want to really enjoy bitterness and aroma, and if you're after something substantial, this is the one to go for.
MugiWow, TAP4, Inkhorn Brewing's Arctic Tern, is a hazy DIPA! That's one of those cloudy ones, right? It sounds like it's packed with flavor!
Hop BroExactly. Hazy DIPA is appealing for its full, thick mouthfeel, and Inkhorn's version should also show the careful touch you'd expect from a brewery in Mejiro. As for the final TAP5, Yatsugatake Beer x Taihu Brewing's Torahachi Bakushu is an oolong lager, and it has just the right amount of playful character to finish the lineup.
MugiWow, this is a lineup that makes tasting one after another impossible to stop. If I could work through all of this in Akihabara, that would mean a guaranteed happy meal and beer day!
Hop BroWith this much range, it's great that you can build a flow from a light pour to a richer one. Today's the kind of day that makes you want to do a full circuit at 2mugi before heading home.
MugiYeah, I want to start with the saison! Then fall into the hazy DIPA, and finish with the oolong lager!
