Craft Beer 2mugi refreshes its draft lineup with six Japanese beers
Craft Beer 2mugi in Akihabara has updated its tap list with six drafts from Daisen G Beer, Minoh Beer, Tokoshie Brewing, RIKRI Brewing, Flora Fermentation Beer and Nara Beer. The lineup spans sour, bitter, saison, Kölsch, hazy IPA and Belgian wit styles.
Hop BroCraft Beer 2mugi in Akihabara just refreshed its six-tap lineup, and the spread is seriously bold. You've got Daisen G Beer, Minoh Beer, Nara Brewing, and everything from tart flavors to big hop character.
MugiWhat! Six beers in Akihabara sounds like the most dangerous possible detour. But if the range is that wide, how do I even choose my first pour?
Hop BroI'd start with Daisen G Beer's Yuyu G-Teki. It's a Sour Weizenbock, so you get bright acidity together with the fuller, wheat-driven body of a weizenbock.
MugiWait, Weizenbock is a beer style? That name is way too intense. It sounds less like a drink and more like a miniboss.
Hop BroIn simple terms, it has rich wheat character and a little more weight than a lighter beer. Add sourness on top, and it ends up lively but layered.
MugiOkay, then what about Minoh Beer's MUGICHA BITTER? It says barley tea, but it also says beer. My summer memories are getting hacked.
Hop BroExactly, that name does a lot of work. Then TOKOSHIE BREWING's Sora no Shizuku is a Fruit Saison, with a soft fruity aroma that lifts the middle of the lineup.
MugiWhat is a saison anyway? You dropped one fancy beer word and my brain immediately left the chat.
Hop BroThink of saison as a light aromatic style and you're basically there. Then RIKRI BREWING's GHOST is Kolsch Style, and Nara Brewing's KUSANAGI is Belgian Wit, so the back half finishes crisp and clean.
MugiSo Flora Fermentation Beer's Utsurobune is the full hazy IPA slot, and this whole list is basically six completely different personalities on tap?
Hop BroExactly. They even had yellowtail sashimi on the food side, so the lineup has something to pair with both aromatic and refreshing beers. And with Summer Porter or HATAKE Kolsch possibly coming next, I already want a pint.
MugiThat's just unfair. I want one now, and I'm starting with Yuyu G-Teki! You're obviously calling dibs on Utsurobune, so let's get to 2mugi.
Craft Beer 2mugi in Kanda-Izumicho, Akihabara, has posted its latest `Today's Draft Lineup`. True to the shop's beer-sommelier-driven curation, the taps cover a wide range of flavors, from bright sour notes to hop-forward and crisp, easy-drinking styles.
The lineup is:
- Daisen G Beer, "Yuyu G-Teki" / Sour Weizenbock
- Minoh Beer, "MUGICHA BITTER"
- Tokoshie Brewing, "Sora no Shizuku" / Fruit Saison
- RIKRI Brewing, "GHOST" / Kölsch Style
- Flora Fermentation Beer, "Utsurobune" / Hazy IPA
- Nara Beer, "KUSANAGI" / Belgian Wit
That gives drinkers a clear tasting arc: a sour wheat beer to start, a fruit saison for aroma, a hazy IPA for hop character, and a Belgian wit for a clean finish. It is the kind of tap list that invites side-by-side comparison rather than a single easy choice.
The shop also noted the day's food, Hiramasa sashimi, which fits neatly with a lineup that leans fresh and food-friendly. With Akihabara Station only a short walk away and digital menus available in the store, the venue is set up for an after-work stop or an easy hop between bars.
A next-up note in the post pointed to two possible replacements once a tap opens up: Songbird Beer's "Summer Porter" or ZOO(MUGI)'s "HATAKE Kolsch." For beer fans, that means the list is already shifting before this one even runs out.
