Craftbeer 2mugi opens at 6 p.m. on July 17 with two new taps
Craftbeer 2mugi in Akihabara will open at 6:00 p.m. on Friday, July 17, and close at 11:00 p.m. that day only. The tap list features six fresh draft beers, including the newly tapped Ise Kado Pale Ale from Ise Kadoya Brewery and IRODORI Saison UME from Zakkoku Beer.
Hop BroAkihabara’s Craftbeer 2mugi is opening at 6 p.m. on July 17 only, and two of the six draft taps are brand-new.
MugiWhat! A 6 p.m. opening just for one day? That is absolutely a post-work sprint mission!
Hop BroThe big one on TAP3 is Ise Kado Pale Ale from Ise Kadoya Brewery, a pale ale with clean hop aroma and a pleasantly smooth bitterness that works perfectly as a first beer.
MugiWait, what does clean hop aroma even mean? Are the hops showing up freshly shampooed?
Hop BroIf hops started walking in, the brew day would get complicated fast. Here, hop aroma means citrusy or grassy notes coming through clearly without any muddiness.
MugiOoh! Then what about IRODORI Saison UME on TAP4? That name is so stylish my vocabulary just gave up.
Hop BroThat one is a limited beer from Mugi Zakkoku Kobo, a plum saison. Saison is a light, dry style, and the plum adds fruity character plus a bright, refreshing tartness.
MugiNo way! When I hear saison, I only think of the four seasons! Beer really loves attacking beginners with French words.
Hop BroThe easy shortcut is to remember light and dry. And if you pair it with the glass noodle salad made with fresh wood ear mushrooms, the saison’s acidity and the pilsner’s crispness really pop.
MugiThat sounds dangerously good! It’s 3 minutes from Akihabara Station, and if they do kakuuchi plus takeaway, I’m going pale ale first and plum saison second.
Hop BroThat’s the right route. Just looking over the six draft taps is fun, and with Noroshi IPA and even a coffee stout in the mix, choosing becomes part of the reward.
MugiI’m done for, my throat is fully activated! I want a drink now; July 17 at 6 p.m., we’re meeting at 2mugi!
July 17 service starts at 6 p.m. with six fresh drafts
