Craftbeer 2mugi: Six Draft Beers Including Matsumoto Brewery on April 26
Craftbeer 2mugi, a beer pub in Kanda Izumicho, Tokyo, has announced its draft lineup for April 26. The six beers on tap range from Matsumoto Brewery's pale ale to a citrus Belgian ale, a hazy DIPA, a saison, and a lager.
Hop BroThe April 26 draft lineup at Craftbeer 2mugi in Kanda Izumicho is pretty interesting.
MugiWhoa! That is instantly tempting. A six-tap lineup? That many beers on at once!
Hop BroExactly. First up is Awesome！Pale Ale, Matsumoto Brewery's classic pale ale, perfect for checking the backbone.
MugiOnly someone who works at a brewery would say "checking the backbone," but if The American IPA is there too, the hop character must be intense!
Hop BroFor sure, and with Arctic Tern / Hazy Double IPA in the mix, the lineup is going pretty bold for IPA fans.
MugiHazy DIPA? What is that even? Sounds like a spell. Does it mean it's cloudy and juicy?
Hop BroPretty much. It's the kind of beer that puts the aroma front and center and keeps the bitterness rounded. Add Natsumikan & Ginger and IRODORI Saison Dark Citrus, and comparing the citrus directions sounds like a lot of fun.
MugiMikan and ginger, plus a saison with citrus... my throat is already sounding the refreshment alarm on its own!
Hop BroAnd there's even Torahachi Bakushu / Oolong Lager, so finishing with oolong tea notes is pretty stylish.
MugiAnd if they have isaki sashimi and soupless tantanmen too, then we have no choice but to drink!
Hop BroBecause the owner puts the lineup together in direct contact with brewers, it has real focus, and they say a Noro Shuzou tap takeover is planned for May 5.
MugiThat's a strong setup for Kanda. I want to go even if I have to reserve, and today feels like it will be more than just one drink!
The beer pub Craftbeer 2mugi in Kanda Izumicho, Chiyoda City, Tokyo, has released its draft lineup for April 26. This time, the six-tap selection brings together a wide range of draft beers, from a classic pale ale to aromatic Belgian ale, plus IPAs and lagers with different drinking profiles.
- TAP1: Awesome！Pale Ale / Matsumoto Brewery
- TAP2: Natsumikan & Ginger / Belgian Ale / Songbird Beer
- TAP3: The American IPA / Shiokaze BrewLab
- TAP4: Arctic Tern / Hazy Double IPA / Inkhorn Brewing
- TAP5: IRODORI Saison Dark Citrus / Zakkoku Beer
- TAP6: Torahachi Bakushu / Oolong Lager / Yatsugatake Beer × Taihu Brewing
Looking at the lineup, there are two IPA-style beers with a strong hop presence, while the selection also includes a Belgian ale made with mikan and ginger, a saison with citrus character, and a lager brewed with oolong tea, giving drinkers plenty of range to compare. It sounds like a fun lineup to start with Awesome！Pale Ale and The American IPA to get a feel for the core structure, then move on to Natsumikan & Ginger and IRODORI Saison Dark Citrus to check out the aroma direction.
The shop says owner Yoshida and Matsumiya build the lineup by communicating directly with brewers around the country. The post also recommends dishes such as isaki sashimi and soupless tantanmen, making it easy to choose a plate that pairs well with the draft beers. Bottles are also sold, so you can take home a beer that fits your mood for the day.
It was also announced that a tap takeover by Noro Shuzou is planned for May 5, along with the release of the May business calendar. Because the shop is small, it says things go more smoothly if you contact them in advance through Google reservations. It is the kind of place worth checking out on a day when you want to relax in Kanda and enjoy draft beer with food.
