Craftbeer 2mugi announces six taps and a Thursday Shippo Day
Craftbeer 2mugi in Akihabara posted its Thursday hours, 15:00-23:00, together with a six-beer draft lineup. The list spans Chiba, Tottori, Kanagawa, Mie, and Niigata, and a regular cat, Shippo-kun, is expected to visit around 20:00.
Hop BroCraftbeer 2mugi in Akihabara just dropped a six-tap refresh for Thursday. They are open 15:00 to 23:00, and around 20:00 it even turns into Shippou Day.
MugiWait, Shippou Day? Are we going out for craft beer or getting ambushed by a celebrity cat?
Hop BroTheir regular cat Shippou is scheduled to show up in the shop. They also posted an allergy note and walk-in only seating, so showing up early is the smart move.
MugiOkay, now I am invested. But I need the tap lineup too. Which pours are the can’t-miss ones?
Hop BroMango Impact from Shiokaze BrewLab is a Fruited Pale Ale, and 839(Hassaku) from Noroshi Brewing is a Fruited Sour Ale. Both are marked running low, so those are danger-close to disappearing.
MugiHold on, Shift Lines from Cavedocci says Dryhopped NZIPA and my brain just slipped on a hop pellet. What does that even mean?
Hop BroDry hopping means adding hops after fermentation to boost aroma, and NZIPA means an IPA built around New Zealand hop character. Shift Lines is a newly opened tap with white grape skin in the mix, so it sounds seriously aromatic.
MugiThat is wildly extra, and I mean that as a compliment. Then you have Ise Kadoya Brewery’s yuzu Hazy Double IPA Nekojima, Daisen Brewery’s Traditional Stout, and Yokohama Bay Brewing’s Bay Pilsner. The style range is ridiculous.
Hop BroExactly. You can bounce from stout depth to crisp Czech-Style Pale Lager, then slide into fruit-forward pours without wrecking your palate. I want a glass now just thinking about it.
MugiSame. We go early, rescue the low taps, and stay till Shippou shows up. That sounds like the perfect Thursday to me.
The Akihabara beer pub Craftbeer 2mugi shared its Thursday service update along with a six-tap draft lineup. The bar will be open from 15:00 to 23:00. The post also notes that the venue includes bottle sales and counter-style drinking, making it an easy stop-in spot from early in the day.
Draft lineup for the day
- TAP1: Mango Impact / Shiokaze BrewLab (Chiba) / Fruited Pale Ale
- TAP2: Stout / Daisen Brewery (Tottori) / Traditional Stout
- TAP3: 839 (Hassaku) / Noroshi Brewing (Chiba) / Fruited Sour Ale
- TAP4: Bay Pilsner / Yokohama Bay Brewing (Kanagawa) / Czech-Style Pale Lager
- TAP5: Nekojima / Ise Kadoya Brewery (Mie) / Hazy Double IPA w/Yuzu
- TAP6: Shift Lines / Cavedocci (Niigata) / Dryhopped NZIPA Grapeskin
According to the post, TAP1 Mango Impact and TAP3 839 (Hassaku) are down to the last pours, while TAP6 Shift Lines is a fresh addition. The brewery describes it as a dry-hopped NZIPA made with grape skins, which suggests a fruit-forward profile with a more distinctive hop character.
TAP5 brings in Nekojima from Ise Kadoya Brewery, a hazy double IPA with yuzu. Together with the stout on TAP2 and the Bay Pilsner on TAP4, the lineup offers a broad range of styles, from darker and fuller-bodied beers to lighter, more refreshing options. That variety makes the tap list easy to read and gives beer drinkers several directions to explore in one visit.
The post also announces a special Shippo Day, with the regular cat Shippo-kun expected to appear around 20:00. The venue asks guests with cat allergies to consider visiting another day, and notes that the day will be seated only and not take reservations. It is a setup that combines a varied tap lineup with the relaxed atmosphere the bar is known for.
