Craft Beer 2mugi shares a Friday draft lineup with six Japanese beers
In a June 18 Instagram post, the Akihabara beer pub Craft Beer 2mugi announced Friday hours from 15:00 to 23:00 and shared a six-tap Japanese draft lineup. Two beers, from Songbird Beer and zoomugi, were introduced as new taps.
Hop BroCraft Beer 2mugi in Akihabara has a seriously good Friday setup today. From 3:00 to 11:00 p.m., they're pouring six domestic taps in one lineup.
MugiWhat, six? And the post says two fresh openings too? That's an aggressive Friday.
Hop BroThe headliners are Summer Porter and HATAKE Kolsch. You've got songbirdbeer's smooth dark porter and zoomugi's fresh-hop Kolsch-style beer, which makes the contrast really fun.
MugiWait, what even is Kolsch? That sounds less like a beer and more like a transfer student.
Hop BroKolsch is basically a light, crisp, easy-drinking ale. Add fresh-hop aroma and it turns bright and green, like a breeze moving through a hop field.
MugiOhh, so the porter and the Kolsch give you a perfect tasting axis. I sound way more knowledgeable just saying that.
Hop BroExactly. Then Daisen G Beer's Yuyu G-Teki is a Sour Weizenbock, tokoshie_brewing's Sora no Shizuku is a Fruit Saison, florafermentation's Utsurobune is a Hazy IPA, and narabrewingco's KUSANAGI is a Belgian Wit. It covers the whole range.
MugiHold on, Weizenbock isn't a spell? Because if I say it three times, I feel like my foam gets 300% fluffier.
Hop BroBefore the spellcasting, check the food. The melty eggplant gratin with Kochi eggplant and miso, plus the crispy horse mackerel fry from Tottori, would pair beautifully with that tap list.
MugiAnd if we love something, we can grab bottles from Brasserie Lupuron, Grimm Ales, and 2SP Brewing too? Fine, it's official: Akihabara sprint tonight, and we're both drinking at Craft Beer 2mugi.
Craft Beer 2mugi, a compact beer pub on the first floor at 1-11-1 Kanda-Izumicho in Akihabara, is set up around a counter and is easy to drop into for a solo pint. In its June 18 post, the shop announced Friday service from 15:00 to 23:00 and published a six-beer draft lineup.
The lineup for the day was:
- Daisen G Beer / Yuyu G-Teki / Sour Weizenbock
- songbirdbeer / Summer Porter / Porter
- tokoshie_brewing / Sora no Shizuku / Fruit Saison
- zoomugi / HATAKE Kolsch / Kolsch Style
- florafermentation / Utsurobune / Hazy IPA
- narabrewingco / KUSANAGI / Belgian Wit
The key point is that Songbird Beer’s Summer Porter and zoomugi’s HATAKE Kolsch were presented as new taps. That pairing gives the lineup a clear contrast: a smooth dark beer on one side, and a fresh, hop-scented Kölsch on the other. Fruit Saison, Hazy IPA, and Belgian Wit round out the board, so the selection runs from light and bright to fuller-bodied styles.
Food also got a mention, including a cheesy eggplant dish with Kochi eggplant and Isekado miso, plus crispy horse mackerel from Tottori. The shop also functions as a bottle store, with rare beers from Brasserie Lupuron, Grimm Ales, and 2SP Brewing available to take away. For drinkers who like choosing a pint based on the day’s draft board, it is a practical stop in Akihabara.
