The beer pub Craft Beer 2Mugi in Kanda-Izumicho announced its `Today's Draft Lineup` on Instagram. This time, the six-keg lineup has a clearly defined range of styles, from a light Golden Ale to a hop-forward IPA, Brown Ale, Helles, Hazy DIPA, and German wheat beer. On Saturdays, the pub opens at 2 p.m., making it easy to build a tasting session from early in the day, which suits the place well.

Taps for the Day


- `Swallow's Humming` / Yorocco Beer
- `Low-Head system` / BREWCCOLY
- `L'orage` / Songbird Beer
- `TOKYO HELLES` / KIRIZUMI Brewing
- `Lapwing #2` / Inkhorn Brewing
- `Hefe-Weißbier` / Paulaner

Looking at the lineup, it is easy to shape a flow that starts by settling the palate with the first pour, checks the hop character with the West Coast IPA, enjoys the malt depth of the Brown Ale, relaxes with the Helles, takes in the volume of the Hazy DIPA, and finishes lightly with the Hefe-Weißbier. Because the differences between styles are distinct, the more you drink, the easier it is to notice each beer's individual character.

Craft Beer 2Mugi is a beer pub that also offers dishes that pair well with beer. The post also highlighted grilled and seared sweetfish sashimi, making it a good choice for a day when you want to enjoy not just beer on its own, but beer together with a meal. In Kanda-Izumicho, it was just the right setup for spending time slowly while comparing the character of each glass.
