Craft Beer 2 Mugi Taps Six Kegs, Including Yorocco and Inkhorn
Akihabara beer pub "Craft Beer 2 Mugi" has published today's draft lineup. Six beers from Yorocco, brewccoly, Songbird, Kirizumi, Inkhorn, and TK Brewing are on tap, and TAP6 is being announced as nearly sold out.
Hop BroThe beer pub Craft Beer 2 Mugi in Akihabara has put out a really solid tap list today. Yorocco, brewccoly, Songbird, Kirizumi, Inkhorn, and TK Brewing - just seeing that lineup gets me excited.
MugiWhoa! So all six are character beers? That sounds like the kind of lineup where you could happily agonize over every single one!
Hop BroExactly, and it starts off with a wide range from Golden to DIPA. TAP1, Yorocco Beer's "Swallow's Humming," is a light Golden Ale, while TAP5, Inkhorn Brewing's "Lapwing #2," is a hefty hazy DIPA.
MugiHuh! But hazy DIPA sounds heavy on the throat just from the name alone. What kind of beer is that?
Hop BroSimply put, it's a cloudy, rich IPA. The hop aroma spreads softly, and it's the kind of beer you enjoy for its juiciness and body more than its bitterness. Here, comparing it with TAP2's West Coast IPA makes the differences in character really easy to see.
MugiThat sounds great! It's the kind of lineup where tasting side by side is fun, right? Like the West Coast IPA is crisp and sharp, and the hazy one is soft and bright?
Hop BroExactly. And TAP4, Kirizumi Brewing's "TOKYO HELLES," is also mentioned as an event lecturer beer. Helles is a German-style lager, and its appeal is less about flash and more about clean malt flavor and easy drinkability.
MugiOhhh! TOKYO HELLES sounds cool too, and if it's the one chosen by the instructor, it must be solid! Plus, they even have brown ale and red ale, so isn't that kind of thoughtful?
Hop BroIt really is. Songbird Beer's brown ale and TK Brewing's red ale are there too, so the range from lighter to fuller-bodied is nicely laid out. And TAP6's Kawasakey is LOW STOCK, so if you're curious, you'd better hurry.
MugiNow I definitely want to go! If I have a drink in Akihabara and even catch the announcement for the June 3 German beer event, it feels like my next plans are already set!
Hop BroIn the end, the best place is one that's easy to go into even alone. In a warm space, while snacking on draft beer and searching for the pint that fits today's mood, I think both I and Mugi-chan would end up staying for quite a while.
MugiYeah, yeah, this is definitely a candidate for tonight's drink. Whether I start with the Helles or go hard with the hazy, just thinking about it is making me thirsty...
