Craft Beer 2mugi in Akihabara posts a six-beer Tuesday tap list
Craft Beer 2mugi, a beer pub in Kanda-Izumicho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, shared its Tuesday tap list. The lineup includes six beers from Shiokaze BrewLab, Songbird Beer, Noroshi Brewing, zoomugi, Tamamura Honten, and Yokohama Bay Brewing.
Hop BroToday's headline is six Tuesday taps at Craft Beer 2mugi in Akihabara, with everything from Shiokaze BrewLab's "Mango Impact" to Yokohama Bay Brewing's "Yuzu Weizen" pouring at once.
MugiWhat, six beers in Akihabara all at once? If I stop by after work, I might get my brain dry-hopped just reading the menu!
Hop BroThe big new pour is 839 Hassaku, a limited sour from Noroshi Brewing made with their own hassaku citrus, layering grainy malt, bitterness, and acidity.
MugiHold on, what is graininess? I was picturing bright citrus, and suddenly you're giving me a farm and a science lab!
Hop BroIt means bread-like malt aroma, the rounded character from the grain itself. That base lets the hassaku's bitter-citrus edge and tang sit on top, so it drinks like beer, not fruit juice.
MugiWhoa, then Mango Impact is the tropical one? The name sounds like a mango flying kick!
Hop BroThat's the fun part: it's about big mango aromatics, and right beside it is Yokohama Bay Brewing's "Yuzu Weizen." A weizen has soft wheat character, and they even suggest pairing that citrus lift with sashimi of Japanese horse mackerel.
MugiNo way, what's a weizen? It sounds so intense I feel like I need a transformation sequence!
Hop BroA weizen is all about soft wheat character, a gentle white-beer style with a fluffy mouthfeel. And the rest of the lineup still has zoomugi's "HATAKE Kolsch," Songbird Beer's "Summer Porte," and Tamamura Honten's "SNOW MONKEY IPA."
MugiI'm done for, I want a standing tasting flight, then to grab cans or bottles to go. Even the QR menu sounds dangerous in the best way!
Hop BroThat mix of pub drink and takeaway is classic Akihabara convenience. Put the fresh 839 Hassaku, Yuzu Weizen, and Mango Impact on one tap list, and my thirst clocks in before I do.
MugiSo that's the verdict: I want one now. Hassaku sour for a sharp sip, or yuzu with sashimi for a calm finish, either way this Tuesday feels like a reward.
Craft Beer 2mugi in Kanda-Izumicho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo posted its Tuesday tap list. The lineup features six beers: Shiokaze BrewLab's 'Mango Impact', Songbird Beer's 'Summer Porte', Noroshi Brewing's '839 (Hassaku)', zoomugi's 'HATAKE Kolsch', Tamamura Honten's 'SNOW MONKEY IPA', and Yokohama Bay Brewing's 'Yuzu Weizen'.
The featured new tap is Noroshi Brewing's '839 (Hassaku)'. The post describes it as a limited sour brewed with house-grown hassaku, with a grainy malt character balanced by pleasant bitterness and acidity. If you want something fruit-forward, 'Mango Impact' stands out; if you prefer a brighter citrus finish, 'Yuzu Weizen' is an easy choice.
Food is also part of the appeal. The shop is serving fresh horse mackerel sashimi, which the post says pairs well with the crisp 'Yuzu Weizen' and the new sour ale. Craft Beer 2mugi also operates as a bottle shop, so guests can drink in house or take bottles and cans home. Solo drinkers and after-work visits are welcome, and the owner is happy to suggest a beer based on your taste.
