Craft Beer 2むぎ posts a six-beer draft lineup with CAVE D'OCCI and Katashina Brewing
Craft Beer 2むぎ, a beer pub in Akihabara, shared a draft lineup for 17:00-23:00 service. The six taps span Dry Stout to Sour, with a couple of kegs marked as running low, so the lineup rewards an early visit.
Hop BroSomething worth watching popped up in Akihabara. Craft Beer 2 Mugi is open from 5:00 to 11:00 p.m. and just posted a six-keg tap list.
MugiWait, what! That much variety in six taps? From Dry Stout to Sour sounds like a flavor roller coaster!
Hop BroAnd TAP1 is CAVE D'OCCI BREWING's 'Levin,' a Dry Stout with serious roast character. Katashina Brewing's 'Belgian Fruit Ale' on TAP2 and 'Orchard Haze' on TAP5 are both almost out.
MugiWhat even is that! 'Belgian Fruit Ale' already sounds intense, but spicy Belgian yeast means what exactly? Are they shaking pepper into the keg?
Hop BroEasy misunderstanding. The point is that yeast builds aroma; Belgian yeast can give clove and pepper notes, then layer in fruity character without dumping fruit juice in.
MugiOh wow! So a side-by-side tasting would totally expose each beer's personality. With Yorocco Beer's 'Flor de Jamaica' Saison and Tamamura Honten's 'HOUSE LAGER,' this is basically tasting-flight heaven!
Hop BroExactly. The back half is strong too: CAVE D'OCCI's 'Orchard Haze' is a Hazy, and Inkhorn Brewing's 'Postsourceism #6' is a Sour, so the style range is huge.
MugiWait, another mystery word! What is Hazy, and please don't tell me it's a beer having an emotional fog day.
Hop BroIt usually means a cloudy look, a softer mouthfeel, and juicy hop aroma that really pops. Plus it's walkable from Akihabara Station and you can just drop in for a no-charge pint.
MugiAnd they do can and bottle takeaway too? That's absurdly convenient. So it's good for a quick stop or a full tasting session, right?
Hop BroExactly, and the lineup feels carefully chosen rather than flashy. I'm craving one already, and if you're targeting Belgian Fruit Ale or Orchard Haze, go early is the move.
MugiThat's it, my throat has made the decision for me. Tonight at Craft Beer 2 Mugi, I want to seriously debate the first pint between Levin and Postsourceism #6!

The day’s draft list features six beers. TAP1 is CAVE D'OCCI BREWING’s Levin, a Dry Stout with a roasty character. TAP2 is Katashina Brewing’s Belgian Fruit Ale, described as a Belgian-yeast-driven beer with spice and fruit notes, and it is listed as running low.
The rest of the lineup keeps the range wide: Yorocco Beer’s Flor de Jamaica (Saison), Tamamura Honten’s HOUSE LAGER (Lager), CAVE D'OCCI BREWING’s Orchard Haze (Hazy), and Inkhorn Brewing’s Postsourceism #6 (Sour). Together they cover saison, lager, hazy, and sour styles, making it an easy lineup for comparing flavor profiles side by side.
Orchard Haze is also marked as nearly gone, so anyone targeting a specific beer should check early. The appeal here is not flash, but a steady tap program with enough style diversity to make a return visit worthwhile for beer fans around Akihabara.
