Six Japanese Craft Beers on Tap at Craft Beer 2mugi in Akihabara
Craft Beer 2mugi, a beer pub about three minutes from Akihabara Station, is serving six Japanese craft beers on draft. The current selection covers pale ale, Belgian wheat, English IPA, Kölsch-style ale, hazy IPA, and Märzen, with a seasonal food menu to match.
Hop BroCraft Beer 2むぎ, tucked into an Akihabara backstreet, has six Japanese craft beers on tap. On Fridays it opens from 3 to 11 p.m., perfect for an early pint.
MugiWhat? Just about three minutes from Akihabara Station and afternoon beer is possible? My throat is already thirsty from walking through Electric Town!
Hop BroStart with Cave D’Occci from Niigata: “Chimere / Borderless Pale Ale.” It’s listed as running low on remaining pours, so order quickly if it catches your eye.
MugiIs pale ale part of the bitter-beer family? When you say the character of hops, I suddenly feel like I’m in science class!
Hop BroHops are plants that give beer aroma and bitterness. A pale ale usually has aroma and easy drinkability in balance, so it’s a great first glass.
MugiOoh! Then SONGBIRD BEER’s “Belgian Wheat” from Chiba must be about a soft wheat character, right? If I notice bread-like notes, I may applaud!
Hop BroExactly! And Noro Brewing’s “THE GREEN MAN” is an English IPA, offering a gentler hop profile in a more British-leaning IPA style.
MugiI thought every IPA meant “bitterness on a rampage!” With a British-style IPA, maybe even your explanation stays calm... right?
Hop BroThere’s also Kunitachi Brewery’s Kolsch-style “1926,” Gangi Brewing’s hazy IPA “SWOONY,” and DevilCraft’s Märzen “Teufelsrad.” You get everything from crisp to autumnal maltiness.
MugiKolsch, hazy, Märzen—what is this? A triple hit of beer terms has my brain foaming over!
Hop BroKolsch-style is light and crisp, hazy IPA is cloudy and juicy, and Märzen is toasty and smooth. In short, it’s six taps for every mood. A herb-accented American Belgo, “AMBH,” is next up too.
MugiThey also have fresh Okinawan shikuwasa sour, Aomori flathead sashimi, and Miyazaki salted ginkgo nuts? Beer-and-seafood pairing sounds like something I need immediately!
Hop BroThere’s no cover charge, takeout cans and bottles are available, and solo drinkers and beginners are welcome. Let’s go to Akihabara and taste our way through the taps.
MugiI’m in! First the nearly gone pale ale, then Märzen with ginkgo nuts. Cheers at 3 p.m. Friday—I’m writing it in my calendar with foam!
