Hop BroAt Craft Beer 2mugi in Akihabara, they updated 6 taps today. When you line up everything from NORTH ISLAND to FARMENTRY, it already feels like a tasting showdown the moment you take your seat.
MugiWait, not six bottles, but six kegs!? And with such a wide range of styles, I feel like I'd get lost right away!
Hop BroThe lineup is especially interesting too. You've got NORTH ISLAND Bokura to, Neko, Faló Brewing's Kemuri, Flashlight's Flash Lite Ginger Ale, Oni Densetsu, Noroshi, and FARMENTRY all together.
MugiWhat is that, even a ginger ale-style beer!? But Flash Lite Ginger Ale sounds like ginger ale even though it's beer?
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. It leans into a ginger-like impression in its aromatic design, while still drinking like beer, and the key is balancing lightness with spice.
MugiOhhh! And Oni Densetsu's Onikaku TY sounds strong just from the name, so it probably goes hard with a dark-beer presence!
Hop BroExactly. And this lineup isn't just dark beers; it also includes saisons and pilsners. In particular, DH RYE Saison gets spicy rye character on top of dry-hop aroma, which gives the beer more dimension.
MugiDry hopping is the thing where you add hops later, right? It kind of sounds like a science experiment all of a sudden, but does that mean it's the step where you add aroma?
Hop BroThat's right. Instead of using heat to bring out bitterness, it's a method that uses hops during or after fermentation to create a finish focused on aroma.
MugiI see! And Craft Beer 2mugi is great because you can take your time with the draft beers chosen by the owner. Being able to start with the first drink is a big deal!
Hop BroBeing able to drink casually with small dishes in an Akihabara back street within walking distance of the station is the best part. Tonight is just too much of a night for tasting everything.
MugiExactly! I want to start with FARMENTRY's DH Pilsner #2 and finish with Bokura to, Neko! I'm completely in the mood to go right now!
Today's Tap Lineup
The beer pub Craft Beer 2mugi, located in Kanda-Izumicho, Akihabara, introduced its draft menu for the day. The published lineup consisted of six labels: NORTH ISLAND "Bokura to, Neko", Faló Brewing "Kemuri", Flashlight "Flash Lite Ginger Ale", Oni Densetsu "Onikaku TY", Noroshi "DH RYE Saison", and FARMENTRY "DH Pilsner #2". From dark beers and saison to pilsner, a rye-based beer, and even a ginger ale-inspired one, the lineup shows a wide range of flavors.
Craft Beer 2mugi is a spot where you can enjoy craft beer from Japan and abroad, centered on draft selections chosen by the owner, who is a Doemens-certified beer sommelier. Tucked away in an alley in Akihabara within walking distance of the station, its appeal is the relaxed atmosphere that lets you start with a pint without feeling tense. Small dishes designed to pair with beer are also available, adding to the fun of choosing a keg while thinking about the order in which to drink.
Looking at the lineup for the day, it balances distinctive limited releases with lagers and saisons that are easy to pair with food. For example, Bokura to, Neko should deliver the kind of satisfying body you expect from NORTH ISLAND, while DH Pilsner #2 makes you wonder how it balances the aroma from dry hopping with a light, crisp finish. One of the pleasures of 2mugi is that every time the taps rotate, you can enjoy a completely different drinking experience from the very same seat.
This is a good place to visit when you want to choose draft beer calmly in Akihabara. Rather than spectacle, this was a lineup for people who want to carefully compare the beers currently on tap.
