Craft Beer 2mugi: Yorocco, Garage Project, and More on the 5/1 Taps
The Akihabara beer pub Craft Beer 2mugi has released its draft lineup for May 1. Yorocco Beer, SONGBIRD BEER, Garage Project, and more are on tap, offering a wide range from seasonal saisons to IPA and stout.
Hop BroAkihabara's Craft Beer 2mugi has a really interesting tap lineup for May 1. It's the kind of setup that shows off everything from saisons to IPA and stout all at once, and it really teases a beer lover's appetite.
MugiWhat, from saison to stout!? With that much range, I don't know if my stomach can keep up!
Hop BroAnd this place lines up draft beers selected by a Doemens-certified beer sommelier. It's open from 15:00 to 23:00, so it's also a great spot for taking your time and comparing different styles.
MugiOhh, so if a sommelier is choosing them, it's not just about having a lot of beer, but about whether the tasting lineup is actually well thought out?
Hop BroExactly. First up are YOROCCO BEER's "Submarine Forest / Sea Weed Saison" and "Natsumikan & Ginger / Belgian Ale". The seaweed nuance and the summer mandarin-and-ginger combination are the kind of aromatic touches that make it fun.
MugiA seaweed saison? What is that even like! Does that mean it tastes like the sea?
Hop BroNot the sea itself, but more like the dry character of a saison layered with a seaweed-derived personality. Rather than thinking of it as a strange analogy, it's easier if you picture the savory edges gently rising to the surface.
MugiI get it! So as a hop fan, the one I should really care about is Garage Project, right!
Hop BroYou definitely can't miss that one. "Boss Level / US hopped Ultra IPA" and "Arctic Tern / Hazy Double IPA" are the anchors, and it's exciting that a Garage Project keg that won gold at the previous week's World Beer Cup 2026 is on tap.
MugiA gold-medal keg sounds like such a treat! But just hearing names like hazy and ultra IPA makes me feel tipsy already.
Hop BroWhat makes 2mugi feel like 2mugi is that it also has a few curveballs. The LOW STOCK "Torahachi Bakushu / Oolong Lager" is one to go after early, and you can finish with "Morning Coffee Stout" and land on a coffee-like roasted note.
MugiWhoa, that's awesome. Start with a lager to take a breath, then finish with a coffee-scented stout. And on top of that, there's still the upcoming KUNITACHI BREWERY "Japanese Rice Lager" to look forward to. That's almost unfair!
Hop BroThere's also the announcement for Noroshi Brewing TTO on May 5, so the momentum is really good. Tonight at 2mugi is the kind of night that makes you want to sample a bunch of styles and plan your next drink at the same time.
MugiI can't take it anymore, my throat is already acting up just reading this! I feel like I want to toast right now, so let me seriously think about which keg to start with!
The Craft Beer 2mugi in Kanda-Izumicho, Akihabara, has released its draft lineup for May 1. The shop is a beer pub with draft beers selected by a Doemens-certified beer sommelier, and it is open from 15:00 to 23:00. In a warm setting, it offers a lineup that lets guests compare different styles side by side.
For this day, the first beers on the list are YOROCCO BEER's "Submarine Forest / Sea Weed Saison" and SONGBIRD BEER's "Natsumikan & Ginger / Belgian Ale". The former is a saison with a seaweed-derived character, while the latter is a Belgian ale that stands out with its mix of summer mandarin orange and ginger, making it a lineup for people who want to enjoy the contours of aroma.
If you are looking for hop intensity, Garage Project's "Boss Level / US hopped Ultra IPA" and Inkhorn Brewing's "Arctic Tern / Hazy Double IPA" are the main attractions. The fact that a Garage Project keg, which won gold at the previous week's World Beer Cup 2026, is on tap is hard for beer lovers to overlook. If you want to explore the balance between richness and drinkability, these two are likely to be the core choices.
As a curveball, Yatsugatake Brewery x Taihu Brewing's "Torahachi Bakushu / Oolong Lager" is also featured. It is marked LOW STOCK, so this is one to check out early. To finish, Baird Beer's "Morning Coffee Stout" is waiting in the wings, with coffee-like roasted aroma that makes it a fitting end to the day. Another upcoming option, KUNITACHI BREWERY's "Japanese Rice Lager", is also being introduced.
This is a lineup that shows the breadth of craft beer all at once, and the highlight of 2mugi on this day is that it covers the full range from saison and Belgian ale to IPA, lager, and stout. There is also an announcement for Noroshi Brewing TTO on May 5, making the next developments something to look forward to.
