Craft Beer 2mugi Introduces 6 Taps Including Inkhorn's “Fantail #3”
The beer pub Craft Beer 2mugi in Kanda-Izumi-cho, Tokyo, has unveiled its six draft lines. The lineup spans everything from saison and lager to West Coast IPA, led by Inkhorn Brewing's “Fantail #3”.
Hop BroKanda-Izumi-cho's Craft Beer 2mugi is back with six draft beers. Led by Inkhorn Brewing's Fantail #3, the lineup covers a surprisingly wide range.
MugiWait, just six taps and that much variety? Putting beers with such different personalities in one place is way too luxurious.
Hop BroWhat's fun here is that it goes from Hazy IPA to Munich saison, Scotch Ale, India Black Lager, West Coast IPA, and Foeder-aged Saison, so you can enjoy switching between flavors.
MugiFoeder-aged, what's that? You mean it was aged in a barrel? That suddenly sounds kind of wine-like!
Hop BroExactly. A foeder is a large wooden vessel for fermentation and aging, and it tends to add woody and microbial nuances. So a beer like Spider Thread lets you slowly taste its barrel-born character.
MugiI see, it sounds like an advanced drinker's choice! Then I think I want to start with Fantail #3 and soak up the hop aroma.
Hop BroThat's a great pick. Fantail #3 and Mikkeller Tokyo's Forest Friends are must-tries if you're chasing hop aroma, and drinking them side by side makes them stand out as star-level aromatic beers.
MugiBut India Black Lager is tempting too! A lager that's black, with a calm drinkability but a bold look, has such a huge gap!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. It has the roastiness of dark malt, but because it's a lager it goes down smoothly, so it delivers quiet satisfaction without being flashy.
MugiAnd they've even got OTAKU in there, that's bold! If there's a smoothie sour too, I want to slip it in as a bonus round at the end!
Hop BroThey're open from 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., so today feels perfect for slowly tasting your way through 2mugi and ending with 'just one more' before a toast.
MugiYeah, it feels like a beer-tasting paradise! Start with Fantail #3, then the dark lager, and finish with OTAKU, and I might never make it home!
The beer pub Craft Beer 2mugi, on the first floor of Y's Crest in Kanda-Izumi-cho, Kanda, has released its latest draft lineup. There are six taps in all. `Inkhorn Brewing`'s `Fantail #3`, `BREWCCOLY.BEER`'s `CROSS`, `Katashina Brewing`'s `Thistle's Breath`, `Noroshi Brewery`'s `India Black Lager`, `Mikkeller Tokyo`'s `Forest Friends`, and `Barbaric Works × Te Breetschoot`'s `Spider Thread` are on tap.
The styles are also very wide-ranging, including Hazy IPA, Munich saison, Scotch Ale, India Black Lager, West Coast IPA, and Foeder-aged Saison. If you want to follow the hop aroma closely, `Fantail #3` and `Forest Friends` stand out; if you want to enjoy yeast and barrel nuances, `CROSS` and `Spider Thread` are the ones to watch; and if you're looking for a calm, easy-drinking pour, `India Black Lager` is the pick. True to the spirit of a beer pub, the highlight here is that you can switch flavor directions with every glass.
The post also introduces `Uchu Brewing Japan`'s `OTAKU`. As a smoothie sour-style beer, it adds an option separate from the draft lineup, which is also interesting. The posted hours are 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., making this a perfect place to sample six different taps a little at a time.
