Craft Beer 2mugi Reveals Six Draft Beers for 3/29, Including Farmentry and Yorocco Beer
The beer pub "Craft Beer 2mugi" in Kanda-Izumi-cho, Tokyo, has unveiled its draft lineup for March 29. Featuring six taps centered on domestic breweries such as Farmentry, Yorocco Beer, and Katashina Brewing, the selection is a shop-owner-curated lineup with a discerning, connoisseur-friendly bent.
Hop BroToday, the beer pub in Kanda-Izumi-cho has six draft beers at Craft Beer 2mugi that are interesting. The 3/29 lineup is really going after the connoisseur crowd.
MugiWhat! Only six varieties, and they're that dense? A connoisseur's six taps really does have the scent of something for experts!
Hop BroExactly. They have Farmentry's No.03 YAYOI IPA #2, Yorocco Beer's TOBIUO SAISON 2026, and Katashina Brewing's Thistle's Breath. And with Noroshi Brewing, Shiokaze BrewLab, and Barbaric Works x te breetschoot too, it's impressive how they built this mostly with domestic breweries.
MugiWhat is that! Juicy IPA and Farmhouse Ale already sound delicious from the names alone, but I don't know the difference!
Hop BroA Juicy IPA is an IPA that puts the hop's juicy aroma front and center, while a Farmhouse Ale tends to show the yeast's wild, rustic character. Saison has a crisp, dry finish and makes the malt and yeast expression easy to notice.
MugiHuh! So India Black Lager is a lager even though it's black? My head is getting all tangled up in beer!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. India Black Lager combines the lager's clean drinking character with the toasty aroma of roasted malt, and the appeal is that it's black without being too heavy.
MugiI see! So Rye Voltage means rye is the star? It sounds spicy just from the name!
Hop BroExactly. Rye IPAs tend to have a spicy finish, and the last one, Spider Thread, is a foeder-aged saison, so it's a beer where you can enjoy the depth of barrel aging too. A foeder is a large wooden cask, and it adds depth to fermentation and aging.
MugiWow, just the phrase depth from the barrel makes me want to drink it! And if reservations are safer, plus they sell bottles too, then there's no choice but to go to 2mugi today!
Hop BroYeah, it's great that you can drink the six carefully chosen beers in the shop and also pick one up to take home if you like it. Today, too, seeing that Spider Thread is making me want one more drink.

Looking at the lineup, it spans a wide range, from juicy IPAs to saison, Scotch ale, black lager, and rye IPA. Rather than relying on flash alone, it is a selection for people who want to take their time and appreciate the character of the malt and yeast, as well as notes of roast, spice, and the depth imparted by barrel aging. In particular, "Spider Thread," the foeder-aged saison, is one to watch for those who want to enjoy the nuances of fermentation and aging.
The shop is a beer pub in Kanda-Izumi-cho, Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo. Given the intimate feel of a small shop, they say advance contact is the safest way to make a reservation. Bottle sales are also available, including rare imported beers and takeaway sake. Another appeal is that after having a drink in the shop, you can also choose a bottle to take home.
The post also announces an update to the April business calendar and notices for the holiday closure on 3/30 and 3/31. As the new life season gets underway, it's worth keeping a close eye on both the lineup and the business information.
