The Akihabara beer pub Craft Beer 2mugi has unveiled its "Today's Draft Lineup" for April 9. In addition to six taps from Inkhorn, BREWCCOLY, Katashina Brewing, Yorocco, Mikkeller Tokyo, and Barbaric Works x te breetschoot, it is also featuring Uchu Brewing's "OTAKU."
Hop BroCraft Beer 2mugi in Akihabara has put out its April 9 draft lineup. It opens at 15:00 and closes at 23:00, which feels just right for stopping by after work.
MugiWhoa! Six taps plus one bottle? Just seeing that many on the board makes it fun before you even choose!
Hop BroExactly. The first one that catches your eye is Inkhorn Brewing's Fantail #3, a Hazy IPA. It has a soft hop character, like a juice bomb, but it still has a proper IPA backbone.
MugiSoft but with backbone? What is that! A juice-like IPA that is still actually bitter?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. West Coast IPAs like Mikkeller Tokyo's Forest Friends have very clear hop aroma and bitterness. When you drink it, the hop character really comes at you.
MugiI see! Then BREWCCOLY's CROSS, a Munich saison, sounds interesting too! Saison sounds stylish, but what does it actually taste like?
Hop BroSaison's appeal is the aroma from the yeast, with the malt's umami layered on top. Katashina Brewing's Thistle's Breath is a Scotch Ale, so the malt character comes through even more, and it's the kind of beer that gets better the slower you drink it.
MugiWait, so on the same day you've got both malt-forward and hop-forward beers? I'm already spoiled for choice with just one side, this is the kind of thing that makes my brain happily scream!
Hop BroAnd Yorocco Beer's The Golden Time is an Italian Pilsner, an easy pick when you want a balance of aroma and drinkability. Barbaric Works × te breetschoot's Spider Thread is a Foeder-aged Saison too, with a woody depth that gives it a distinctly connoisseur-friendly appeal.
MugiWoody depth just from the description makes me want to drink it! And if they even have Uchu Brewing's OTAKU, a rich smoothie sour-style beer to finish on, this is the kind of place that makes you want to linger in Akihabara!
