The beer pub Craft Beer 2mugi in Kanda-Izumi-cho, Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo, has refreshed its six draft lines. The lineup features labels from Tokyo, Okayama, Gunma, Shiga, New Zealand, and Chigasaki, offering a broad range from hazy IPA to saison and black lager.
Hop BroCraft Beer 2mugi in Kanda-Izumi-cho is really going all in this time with a full six-tap turnover.
MugiWhoa, six beers! That is basically a tasting paradise. I am going to get completely lost in there!
Hop BroTAP1 is Vector Brewing's BAKA-UMAI HAZY IPA, and it is marked LAST CALL, so if you are chasing hazy IPA, you should not miss it.
MugiLAST CALL? What does that even mean? You mean it is almost sold out? That name sounds intense already!
Hop BroExactly, it has that feeling of being down to the last stock. You can expect that kind of juicy, hazy character, and it should really hit home for people who prioritize aroma.
MugiNice! And they even have Brewccoly's Munich saison and Katashina Brewing's Scotch Ale, right? The range is wild, isn't it?
Hop BroThat is what makes it interesting. TAP6, Barbaric Works × Te Breetschoot's Foeder-aged Saison, brings in those barrel-derived nuances.
MugiNow you are throwing another hard word at me! By "barrel-derived nuances," do you mean something like stylish acidity and depth?
Hop BroRoughly speaking, yes. TAP5, Mikkeller NZ's Forest Friends, is a West Coast IPA, so it has that crisp bitterness and aroma with really clear edges.
MugiI want that! Being able to compare the sharpness of the bitterness and the character of the saison all at once is almost unfair!
Hop BroAnd it is open from 14:00 to 23:00, with an atmosphere that feels easy to enjoy even solo. Perfect for stopping by after work and slowly working through all six.
MugiYeah, my head is full of beer now! Tonight we should stop by 2mugi and have one ourselves.
