Craft Beer 2mugi in Akihabara Updates Six Draft Beers, from Domestic New Releases to Classics
At the beer pub Craft Beer 2mugi in Akihabara, Tokyo, the six-tap draft lineup has been updated. The selection ranges from new releases by Japanese breweries to German classics, and the shop is also guiding customers to fresh seafood snacks and takeaway options.
Hop BroDid you hear? Akihabara's Craft Beer 2mugi has updated six taps. And since the lineup goes from domestic new releases to German classics, you could practically get a whole drink out of just looking at the tap list today.
MugiWait, from domestic new releases to classics? With that much variety, how am I supposed to decide what to drink first?
Hop BroStart with TAP1, Shiokaze Brewlab SHIBAKUZO 2026, an American Strong Ale. It has a solid malt presence and plenty of hop character, so it's the kind of first pour that gets the whole night going.
MugiAmerican strong ale means, like, a strong ale? The name makes it sound like it's been lifting weights or something!
Hop BroBasically, it has higher alcohol and a fuller body, with assertive aroma as well. Then Farmentry's GRAPEEE comes in as a saison with grape skins, which is fun because it suddenly shows a wine-like side.
MugiWhat! So wine lovers would be curious too? It's beer, but it even has that grape vibe? Now I really want to try it!
Hop BroExactly. Since it's a grape-skin-contact saison made with Chardonnay skins, the aroma layers get richer. Then if you move on to Songbird's L'orage and its Brown Ale depth, the roast character gives the lineup a nice calming flow.
MugiWow, so after a saison and then a brown ale, it's like a taste roller coaster. That sounds busy in the best way!
Hop BroAnd KIRIZUMI BREWING's TOKYO HELLES is great as a lager with real structure. Helles may seem light, but it actually shows a beautifully clean malt profile, so it doesn't tire you out.
MugiSo Helles is that easy to drink and still has structure? That's like a kind and dependable senior, which is almost unfair!
Hop BroAdd T.K.Brewing's Pomona Rendezvous for that NEIPA aroma, and slip in Paulaner Hefe-Weißbier as the wheat beer, and it's perfect. And with fresh Japanese wild bonito on top of that, the beer-and-snack pairings are seriously strong.
MugiNow I really want to go! If it's open from 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., I can stop by after work, and I want to browse every beer while ordering by QR code!
Hop BroThat's exactly right. They also support takeout, plus English support and free Wi-Fi, so it's incredibly convenient. Tonight, let's start with a Helles for the toast and finish with a wheat beer at the end. There's really no choice but to go drink, right?
