Craft Beer 2mugi opens Cereal Weizen and Cool Breeze Pils on the taps
Craft Beer 2mugi in Akihabara posted its July 16 tap list, running from 15:00 to 23:00. The day’s new pours are Mugi Zakkoku Kobo’s Cereal Weizen and Baird Beer’s Cool Breeze Pils, alongside four other draft beers.
Hop BroCraft Beer 2 Mugi in Akihabara is putting two fresh tappings front and center: Mugizakkoku Kobo's "Cereal Weizen" and Baird's "Cool Breeze Pils." That's a strong headline for a tap list.
MugiWait, Craft Beer 2 Mugi already sounds like a temple of grain, and now they're debuting a weizen and a pilsner together? That is such an odd-couple lineup!
Hop BroExactly, and the contrast is the fun part. Cereal Weizen is a wheat-style weizen with a banana-like fruity aroma and a soft, easy mouthfeel.
MugiHold on, what is weizen? That sounds less like beer and more like a special attack in a fantasy game!
Hop BroWeizen is a German-style wheat beer, and the yeast brings a lot of character. In simple terms, expect a banana-like aroma and a fluffy, gentle sip.
MugiOkay, so not a battle move, more like a comfort pick. Then Baird's Cool Breeze Pils is perfect for first sip duty?
Hop BroExactly. Pilsner sits in the lager family, which turns nerdy fast, but the short version is clean and crisp and very easy to drink.
MugiNow we're adding lager too? Jargon overload alert! Hop bro, your knowledge faucet is running wide open!
Hop BroFair point. It basically means fewer rough edges and a smoother finish. That makes it great with the recommended horse mackerel sashimi, and Yorocco's chamomile saison adds sea-breeze freshness too.
MugiSix taps plus sashimi? That's a tasting paradise. And if they're also selling nine Finback cans, my self-control is in real danger.
Hop BroThe rest of the list goes wide too: a coffee stout from Shiokaze, a juicy IPA from Noroshi, and a sour IPA from CAVE D'OCCI. It's a wide-ranging six-tap lineup for one stop in Akihabara.
MugiThen it's settled. Cool Breeze Pils first, Cereal Weizen second, and adventure after that. This is making me thirsty now.
Craft Beer 2mugi, a beer pub in the Kanda-Izumi-cho area of Akihabara, is open from 15:00 to 23:00 on Thursday, July 16. The bar updated its draft board with six beers on tap.
Draft lineup
- TAP1: Shiokaze Brewing `Kaka Shinshin` / Coffee Stout
- TAP2: Baird Beer `Cool Breeze Pils` / Pilsner
- TAP3: Yorocco Beer `All you need is flower` / Chamomile Saison
- TAP4: Mugi Zakkoku Kobo `Cereal Weizen` / Weizen
- TAP5: Noroshi Brewing `Noroshi IPA` / Juicy IPA
- TAP6: CAVE D'OCCI `Linger` / Sour IPA
The main update is a double new tap opening: Mugi Zakkoku Kobo’s `Cereal Weizen` and Baird Beer’s `Cool Breeze Pils`. The former is described as fruity, with a banana-like aroma and a soft mouthfeel, while the latter is a clean, refreshing pilsner that should work well as a first pint in warm weather.
For food, the bar recommends fresh horse mackerel sashimi, which pairs naturally with the crisp pilsner and the saison on TAP3. The post also mentions Nu10rin Brewing’s `Lockon` and bottle-shop cans from Finback Brewery, so there is more to explore beyond the draft list.
