Craft Beer 2 Mugi in Akihabara will hold the second Akuzawa’s Select POPUP on July 19 from 15:00, featuring six draft lines connected to Takeshi Akuzawa and two limited bottles poured by the glass. Entry is first-come, first-served, with cash-on payment planned.

MugiWhat! Six taps and two bottles sounds like a festival, not a casual stop. I'd spend the first five minutes just panicking over my first order!
Hop BroThe lineup has range, with seriously distinct drafts up front. There's TOKYO HELLES (FRENCH HOPS ver) from hoen_berg, ESB from kirizumi_beer, and HATAKE Kolsch from zoomugi.
MugiHold on, ESB and Kolsch sound like secret passwords. Am I ordering beer or joining a spy ring?
Hop BroIn simple terms, it's maltiness versus crispness. ESB leans classic and toasty, while Kolsch is clean, light, and easy to drink in hot weather.
MugiOkay, but Pinot Noir Red looks like it wandered in from a wine bar. And 'mugi-budo fermented drink' makes my brain sit up straight!
Hop BroThat's the fun part: it's built around red wine barrel aging. brasserie_lupuron used barrels from a winery in Niki, Hokkaido to blur the line between beer and wine aromatics.
MugiWhat is that, a boundary-crossing glass? Suddenly this menu is poetry. And then you add Shindan Saison from farmentry x ikkibrew x yeshangbrewing plus Shiroboshi from 3on3_fukaya_craftbeer_pizza?
Hop BroIt still has an easy entry point, because Shiroboshi and Shindan Saison are approachable in different ways. Shiroboshi brings Belgian White softness, and the saison gives you lively fermentation character.
MugiAnd the two limited bottles are served by the glass, right? If I can sample Chardonnay and Pinot Gris in small pours, even I can get adventurous.
Hop BroThe setup is casual too: cash-on, first come with cashless planned, and no reservations. The place is small, but Yoshida and Akuzawa will help guide people by taste.
MugiThen it's early meetup in Akihabara. If they're pouring from 3 to 11 p.m., we can pace ourselves, and honestly both of us already want a drink.
Overview
`Craft Beer 2 Mugi`, a beer pub in the Kanda-Izumicho area of Akihabara, will host the second installment of its "Akuzawa's Select POPUP" on Sunday, July 19. The post says the event will feature six draft beers tied to brewer Takeshi Akuzawa, plus two limited bottles served by the glass. The event is scheduled for 15:00-23:00.
Draft lineup
- TOKYO HELLES (FRENCH HOPS ver) / hoen_berg
- ESB / kirizumi_beer
- Pinot Noir Red (fermented beverage) / brasserie_lupuron
- HATAKE Kolsch / zoomugi
- 震旦セゾン / farmentry × ikkibrew × yeshangbrewing
- 白星 (Belgian White) / 3on3_fukaya_craftbeer_pizza
Limited bottles poured by the glass
- Chardonnay / brasserie_lupuron
- Pinot Gris / brasserie_lupuron
The draft list spans a wide range of styles. TOKYO HELLES is presented as a French-hops version, ESB brings an English-style bitter profile, and HATAKE Kolsch points to a clean, easy-drinking direction. `震旦セゾン` is a collaboration among `farmentry`, `ikkibrew`, and `yeshangbrewing`, while `白星` is offered as a Belgian White. `Pinot Noir Red` is described in the post as a special fermented expression aged in a red-wine barrel from a winery in Niki, Hokkaido.
The bottle side is equally unusual: `brasserie_lupuron`’s `Chardonnay` and `Pinot Gris` will be poured by the glass. That makes the event more than a standard tap lineup, with options that move across the line between beer and wine-like fermentation.
Payment is planned as cash-on, with cashless also supported. Reservations are not accepted, and guests are guided on a first-come, first-served basis. Because the shop is small, the post asks visitors to share the space considerately. First-time visitors and solo drinkers are also welcome, with owner Yoshida and Mr. Akuzawa ready to suggest the right glass for each guest.
