Hop BroCraft Beer 2mugi in Akihabara has rolled out a 6-tap update for today. Having Yorocco Beer, Kirizumi Brewing, and even Paulaner on the list makes for a pretty playful lineup.
MugiWhoa, six kinds!? A wide six-tap lineup sounds like I could get lost even as a beginner... but it sounds fun!
Hop BroFirst up, TAP1 is Yorocco Beer's Swallow's Humming, a clean Golden Ale. It's the kind of beer that isn't flashy, but has a nice balance of malt sweetness and easy drinkability.
MugiWhat's a Golden Ale!? Does that mean an easy-drinking golden-colored beer? It sounds tasty just from the name!
Hop BroExactly, it's a bright and lively style of ale. And TAP2, brewccoly_tomonari's Low-Head system, is a West Coast IPA, the kind where hop aroma and bitterness come to the front.
MugiWhoa, just hearing IPA makes it sound kind of strong! Can you really tell that much about the contours of the hops?
Hop BroYou really can. In particular, TAP5, Inkhorn Brewing's Lapwing #2, is a Hazy DIPA, so the aroma is juicy and the mouthfeel is soft, but the alcohol presence still comes through firmly.
MugiWhat, so it's fluffy but strong!? Does this juicy haze taste like fruit juice when you drink it?
Hop BroClose, but the main focus is still the malt and hop design rather than juice. If you prefer something calmer, Songbird Beer's L’orage Brown Ale or Kirizumi Brewing's TOKYO HELLES offer a malt-forward gentleness that's easy to choose.
MugiOhh! TOKYO HELLES sounds cool too, and it seems like something I could drink comfortably! I'm also curious about the Brown Ale.
Hop BroAnd TAP6 is Paulaner's Hefe-Weißbier, and what's great is that there's 13L available at a special price. It's a German wheat beer with banana-like aromas and a soft mouthfeel.
Mugi13L is actually a lot, and at a special price too? That's too good! It really feels like a classic wheat beer, and it sounds perfect for a first drink!
Hop BroOn top of that, the day's pairing is grilled spotted knifejaw sashimi, and the toasty aroma from the sear seems like it would go really well with Helles and Golden Ale. Owner Yoshida-san will be there from 3:00 PM, and the relaxed atmosphere makes it easy to stop in alone.
MugiNow I completely want to go! If we did a tasting after work over one drink, there's no way we'd be able to leave!
The beer pub Craft Beer 2mugi in Kanda-Izumi-cho, Akihabara, has introduced its latest draft lineup. This tap list brings together six beers with very different personalities, ranging from light ales to hop-forward IPAs and traditional German wheat beer.
Today's Tap Lineup
- TAP1: Yorocco Beer / Swallow's Humming / Golden Ale
- TAP2: brewccoly_tomonari / Low-Head system / West coast IPA
- TAP3: Songbird Beer / L’orage / Brown Ale
- TAP4: Kirizumi Brewing / TOKYO HELLES / HELLES
- TAP5: Inkhorn Brewing / Lapwing #2 / Hazy DIPA
- TAP6: Paulaner / Hefe-Weißbier
The highlights include Yorocco Beer's Golden Ale from Kamakura, brewccoly_tomonari's West Coast IPA from Akita, and Kirizumi Brewing's TOKYO HELLES from Gunma. For those who want to enjoy a clear hop profile, TAP2 and TAP5 are the easiest picks; if you're after a calmer, malt-forward flavor, TAP3 and TAP4 are the most approachable choices. TAP6, Paulaner Hefe-Weißbier, is being offered at a special price, and there is said to be 13L available.
On the food side, grilled spotted knifejaw sashimi was featured as the day's main pairing. The savory aroma from the lightly seared skin and the richness of the fat seem likely to go well with Helles and Golden Ale. It's also very much in keeping with this shop that you can pair beer with seasonal seafood, not just drinks alone.
Craft Beer 2mugi presents itself as a place that welcomes solo drinkers and beginners alike, and there was also an announcement that owner Yoshida-san will be there from 3:00 PM to greet guests. It looks set to be a quintessential city beer-pub night, good for comparing one glass after another after work or for pairing drinks with a light meal.
