Craft Beer 2mugi announces the second round of Akuzawa's Select Popup for July 19
Craft Beer 2mugi, a beer pub in Akihabara, has shared the final notice for the second round of its “Akuzawa's Select POPUP (TTO)” on July 19. The lineup features six beers from Vector Brewing, Yorocco Beer, and others, spanning hazy IPA, saison, black lager, and more.
Hop BroCraft Beer 2 Mugi in Akihabara is hosting Akuzawa's Select POPUP Vol. 2 on July 19. Six taps at once, with everything from IPA to black lager, is a very clean kind of chaos.
MugiWait, what's a TTO? It sounds like a fighting move, and six fresh kegs already feels like a festival.
Hop BroTTO means tap takeover, basically a day ruled by draft lines. You've got Vector Brewing's BAKA-UMAI HAZY IPA, Yorocco Beer's TOBIUO SAISON 2026, and Shiokaze BrewLab's Rye Voltage all lined up with very different personalities.
MugiOkay, but Hazy IPA still sounds like a weather report to me. Is it cloudy in the glass and in my brain?
Hop BroCloudy in the glass, clear in the mission. It's a juicy, aroma-forward IPA, so BAKA-UMAI HAZY IPA is the kind of opener that lets the hops do the talking.
MugiThat I can work with. So TOBIUO SAISON 2026 is the palate-resetter in this lineup?
Hop BroExactly. Saison brings light spice from fermentation and a dry finish, so it's the beer that changes gears. Drop it after an IPA and your tongue suddenly wants the next chapter.
MugiYour tongue has chapters now? Then what is India Black Lager doing here, being dark and crisp at the same time like it pays double rent?
Hop BroThat's the fun part. It gives roast without getting heavy, while Katashina Brewing's Thistle's Breath leans malty, and Barbaric Works × te breetschoot's Spider Thread could bring woody barrel nuance for the finale.
MugiAnd with Shiokaze BrewLab's Rye Voltage in the mix, this is basically the perfect tasting route. On July 19, I might arrive at Craft Beer 2 Mugi before my common sense does.
Event Overview
Craft Beer 2mugi, a beer pub in Kanda-Izumicho, Tokyo, posted the final notice for the second round of its “Akuzawa's Select POPUP (TTO)” for Sunday, July 19. Known for a frequently changing tap list in the Akihabara area, the shop is set to pour six beers with clearly different flavor profiles, making this a strong lineup for comparison drinking.
Draft Lineup
- `Vector Brewing` / `BAKA-UMAI HAZY IPA`
- `Yorocco Beer` / `TOBIUO SAISON 2026`
- `Katashina Brewing` / `Thistle's Breath`
- `Noroshi Brewing` / `India Black Lager`
- `Shiokaze BrewLab` / `Rye Voltage`
- `Barbaric Works × te breetschoot` / `Spider Thread`
The appeal of this lineup is how clearly the styles are separated. `BAKA-UMAI HAZY IPA` and `Rye Voltage` point toward hop aroma and expressive bitterness, `TOBIUO SAISON 2026` offers a drier, more refreshing direction, `Thistle's Breath` brings malt depth, `India Black Lager` suggests roasted notes with a lager finish, and `Spider Thread` adds a foeder-aged, wood-influenced angle.
That is exactly the kind of setup that suits Craft Beer 2mugi. It is the sort of beer pub where you can move from a hop-driven opener to a saison, then into darker, maltier beers without losing the thread. For drinkers who like to follow what is pouring right now, this is the kind of event worth checking.
The shop is located on the first floor of Wise Crest at 1-11-1 Kanda-Izumicho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo. For anyone looking to track a carefully curated tap takeover in central Tokyo, it is an easy stop to make.
