Craft Beer 2mugi unveils April 25 tap lineup; Inkhorn's 'Arctic Tern' is tapped
The beer pub "Craft Beer 2mugi" in Kanda-Izumicho, Akihabara, has announced its draft lineup for April 25. Inkhorn Brewing's "Arctic Tern" has newly been tapped, and a diverse selection of draft beers from Matsumoto Brewery, Baeren Bier, and Mugazakkoku Kobo is on offer.
Hop BroToday, the tap announcement from Craft Beer 2mugi in Kanda-Izumicho, Akihabara, is hot. On 4/25 there are six taps, and Inkhorn Brewing's "Arctic Tern" is being tapped too, so this is definitely the star of the weekend.
MugiWhoa! "Arctic Tern" sounds strong just from the name! And it's a Hazy Double IPA too? So it's one of those beers that hits you with aroma right away?
Hop BroExactly. And as the shop says, it's a floral and juicy style. A Hazy is a cloudy IPA that puts hop aroma front and center while the bitterness tends to come across as smoother.
MugiHmm, I see. But when I hear "cloudy," I get a little worried. Does that mean it’s beautifully cloudy?
Hop BroNo need to worry, that’s the point. And the lineup is interesting too, because from Matsumoto Brewery all the way to a helles it swings across a really wide range, which feels very 2mugi.
MugiThat sounds fun! Rauch bock and saison and all those names alone are making my brain busy!
Hop BroIt makes sense if you drink them in order. TAP1 is Matsumoto Brewery's "Awesome! Pale Ale," TAP2 is Baeren Bier's "ONMEN BRÄU / Rauch Bock," TAP3 is Shiokaze Brew Lab's "The American IPA," and TAP5 is Mugazakkoku Kobo's "IRODORI Saison Dark Citrus."
MugiWhoa, being told to follow the malt richness suddenly makes it sound like I'm an advanced drinker! But I think I want to start with something aromatic first!
Hop BroThen jump in with TAP4's "Arctic Tern," and save TAP6's Plank Helles, which is almost gone, for an early grab. There's also the next lineup preview of Yatsugatake Beer x Taihu Brewing's "Torahachi Beer / Oolong Lager," so there's plenty to look forward to.
MugiAnd they even have soupless tantanmen and isaki sashimi? That's unfair! It's the kind of place where you end up wanting food as much as beer. I want to toast right now!
