Craft Beer 2mugi opens Saturday at 15:00 in Akihabara with six taps including EIGHTY EIGHT
Craft Beer 2mugi in Akihabara announced a special Saturday schedule from 15:00 to 23:00 on July 11, with six drafts from Nara Brewing, KUNITACHI BREWERY, KANPAI BREWING, Baeren, Inkhorn Brewing and Cave d'Occi.
Hop BroAkihabara's Craft Beer 2mugi is doing a 3 p.m. Saturday opening on July 11, with special hours running until 11 p.m.
MugiWait, daytime beer in Akihabara, and we're getting six taps at once?
Hop BroExactly. It's that 17-seat pub with a beer-sommelier owner, and this time the board has six character-packed drafts from Nara to Inkhorn.
MugiNara Brewing's EIGHTY EIGHT is a green tea saison, right? Saison sounds like a wizard spell. What is it?
Hop BroA saison is a light, farmhouse-style ale, and this one layers in green tea, so you get crisp tea aromatics instead of anything heavy.
MugiOkay, then Inkhorn Brewing's Mejiro says Hazy IPA. Hazy means cloudy, so why does that somehow sound cheerful?
Hop BroThat's the fun part: hazy IPA means a soft texture and a cloudy look, and Mejiro should lead with juicy fruit notes that almost feel like juice.
MugiAnd then you've got KUNITACHI BREWERY's Japanese Rice Lager, KANPAI BREWING's Gonnosuke Pub Ale, Baeren's Schwarz, and Cave d'Occi's Linger... that's ridiculous range!
Hop BroRight, and Schwarz plus Linger are freshly tapped. Roasty dark beer, a clean rice lager, and a bitter pub ale are all built to work with burihira sashimi.
MugiThat pairing is unfair. Rich yellowtail flavor and that firm bite with beer? Now I want a drink in Akihabara immediately.
Hop BroI'd start with EIGHTY EIGHT, move to Mejiro, then finish on Schwarz; honestly I want to clear the whole taplist.
MugiI'm opening with Rice Lager and burihira, then heading for Linger after that. Reading this gave me instant cheers mode.
Craft Beer 2mugi is a 17-seat beer pub tucked away in the Showa-dori area of Akihabara. Its tap list changes often, and the shop is run by a beer sommelier who curates the lineup.
On Saturday, July 11, the bar will operate on a special schedule from 15:00 to 23:00. The post also points readers to the second wave of the Akuzawa Kenji pop-up event scheduled for Sunday, July 19, making the day’s draft list especially timely.
The six-tap lineup features Nara Brewing's EIGHTY EIGHT as a Green Tea Saison, KUNITACHI BREWERY's Japanese Rice Lager as a crisp Rice Lager, and KANPAI BREWING's Gonnosuke Pub Ale as a Bitter. Two new kegs are highlighted as well: Baeren's Schwarz, a Schwarzbier, and Cave d'Occi's Linger, a Sour IPA. Inkhorn Brewing's Mejiro remains on tap as a Hazy IPA.
Food pairing is also part of the appeal. The recommended snack is buri-hira sashimi, a hybrid fish dish that combines the flavor of yellowtail with the texture of greater amberjack. It is a straightforward beer-bar setup: a compact room, a changing tap list, and food built to support the glass in front of you.
