Craft Beer 2mugi keeps six rare drafts flowing on July 20, with Pinot Noir Red on Tap 6
Craft Beer 2mugi, a beer pub in Akihabara, opens at 15:00 on July 20. Drafts carried over from the previous day’s pop-up remain on tap, with Taps 1, 2, and 4 running low. Tap 6 features Pinot Noir Red from brasserie_lupuron.
Hop BroAkihabara's Craft Beer 2mugi is keeping all six rare draft taps from the popup for July 20. And TAP6 is Brasserie Lupuron's "Pinot Noir Red." That's a pretty aggressive play.
MugiWait, six rare draft beers are staying on? That's basically a rescue mission for anyone who missed the event. And some taps are already running low? I need faster shoes.
Hop BroExactly. TAP1 is Hoenberg's "Tokyo Helles (French Hop Ver.)" in Helles, TAP2 is kirizumi_brewery's "ESB," so the opening lineup is stacked before you even get to the weird stuff.
MugiHold on, what is ESB? That sounds less like beer and more like a secret finishing move.
Hop BroESB is a British-style ale with firm bitterness and solid malt depth. Put simply, it's toasty grown-up bitter beer, more calm and tea-like than loud and flashy.
MugiOhh, nice! Then TAP3, 3on3 Brewing's "shiro boshi," the Belgian White one, is more light and easygoing?
Hop BroRight. It has that soft wheat texture, and something like TAP4, ZOO(MUGI)'s "HATAKE Kolsch," is all about a clean disappearing finish that drops off beautifully.
MugiNow you said Kolsch and my brain fell over. But 'disappearing finish' I get. So it's basically a refreshing ninja beer that vanishes from your mouth?
Hop BroHonestly, that's not a bad description. And the owner's pick, TAP6 "Pinot Noir Red," is Flanders Red inspired, with fruity wine-like notes and bright acidity, basically the crossroads of beer and wine in one glass.
MugiWhat is that! So I can talk about it like red wine, but it's still beer? If it's three minutes from Akihabara Station, July 20 feels like a just one quick pint trap already.
Hop BroAnd TAP5, "Shintan Saison," brings the spice side too. So you rush the low-stock taps 1, 2, and 4, then naturally finish with Pinot Noir Red like a proper finale.
MugiThat's it, plan settled. Snacks on the side, work through the taps, and end the night saying I want to drink this now before we even sit down.
