Craft Beer 2mugi posts six-draft tap list with new pours from Katashina, Zakkoku and And Beer
Craft Beer 2mugi in Kanda-Izumicho, Tokyo, shared its daily tap list. The lineup includes six fresh drafts, three new taps from Katashina Brewery, Zakkoku Kobo and And Beer, plus a preview of the next beer to come on.
Hop BroCraft Beer 2mugi in Akihabara just rolled out six fresh taps today, and the board looks stacked. Three of them are brand-new openings, so the range is serious.
MugiWhat, three new kegs in one day? That is way too strong. I was planning a quick stop, and now this sounds like an all-night thing!
Hop BroThe big draws are Katashina Brewery's Tempting Barrels as a Belgian Fruit Ale, Mugizakkoku Kobo's Japanese Pepper Porter as a Robust Porter w/Spice, and And Beer’s Azarashi Pilsner Okawari as a Pilsner.
MugiHold on, Robust Porter w/Spice sounds less like beer and more like a wizard spell. What does that even taste like?
Hop BroPicture a roasty dark porter with a clean lift of Japanese sansho spice on top. Basically, toasted depth with a little savory Japanese breeze running through it.
MugiOh wow! So it’s not just dark beer either. There’s LOW-HEAD SYSTEM IPA, Love storm Hazy IPA, and Postsourceism #6 as a Fruited Sour? That lineup is all over the place in the best way.
Hop BroExactly, and Love storm is low already, so that one’s a first-order move. They also teased Cave D'occi Brewing’s Orchard Haze, a Hazy Pale Ale, as the next tap.
MugiAnd now you’re telling me there’s melting salmon and stir-fried fresh wood ear mushrooms with egg too? That is completely unfair. That’s a pairing plan right there.
Hop BroThe shop has an easy kakuuchi-style setup, plus cans and bottles are available to go. Solo drinkers and beginners are welcome, and they’ll be closed on August 10 and August 11, so timing matters.
MugiAlright, I’m set. I want to start with Azarashi Pilsner Okawari and finish with Japanese Pepper Porter. Let’s go drink now, Hop Bro!
Hop BroAgreed. I’m opening with Tempting Barrels for the fruit notes, then looping back to the sansho porter. Tonight’s first stop is settled.
