CRAFT Rainbow in Okayama updates five taps led by grapefruit sour
CRAFT Rainbow, a beer pub in Okayama’s Nodaya-cho district, updated its daily tap list with a five-beer lineup centered on a grapefruit sour. The selection also includes IPA, kolsch, pilsner, and draft beer, alongside a non-smoking interior and a separate smoking area.
Hop BroCRAFT Rainbow in Okayama just rolled out a fresh five-tap lineup. It goes from a grapefruit sour to an IPA and then into easy-finishing pours, so the flow is really clean.
MugiWhat! A grapefruit sour opener sounds like the kind of first sip that would wake up my whole face!
Hop BroThe centerpiece is Shimanami Brewery’s GrapefruitsSour. It leads with bright citrusy acidity, so it’s the kind of beer that snaps your palate awake right away.
MugiWhoa! And Ise Kadoya Beer’s LushHopIPA already sounds intense, but what does IPA actually taste like?
Hop BroIPA is a style where hop aroma and bitterness really stand out, basically a beer with big aromatic presence. You chase those citrusy notes for one minute, then suddenly half your glass is gone.
MugiWhat is that route! Wake up with the sour, melt into the IPA, and suddenly you’ve got a perfect tasting sequence built in!
Hop BroAnd it doesn’t stop there. With Hopkotan Brewing’s Totonou, Swan Lake’s Nagi, and Suntory Draft, they’ve also got Kolsch and pilsner vibes in the mix. It doesn’t just go heavy and call it a day.
MugiHold on, what even is Kolsch!? It sounds like wizard magic more than beer!
Hop BroIn simple terms, Kolsch is light and crisp, and pilsner is also clean and snappy, so they’re both easy-drinking styles. They don’t punch you in the face, but they quietly win you over.
MugiAnd if the place is non-smoking with a separate smoking area, that’s such solo-drinking-friendly energy. Sneaking sake and shochu onto the menu too feels unfairly convenient!
Hop BroAround Okayama Station, on a night when you really want to choose what to drink, a spot with daily tap updates like this is dependable. I’d start with GrapefruitsSour and finish on something lighter.
MugiThat settles it. I want to chase the aroma with the IPA and then land softly at the end, so now I want a pint immediately!
CRAFT Rainbow, a beer pub in Okayama’s Nodaya-cho district, updated its daily tap list with a compact but varied five-beer lineup. The list centers on Shimanami Brewery's `GrapefruitsSour`, joined by Ise Kadoya Beer's `LushHopIPA`, Hopkotan Brewing's `Totonou`, Swan Lake's `Nagi`, and `Suntory Draft`. In style terms, that means a fruit-forward sour, a hop-led IPA, and cleaner, crisper beers that make side-by-side tasting easy.
- Shimanami Brewery `GrapefruitsSour`
- Ise Kadoya Beer `LushHopIPA`
- Hopkotan Brewing `Totonou`
- Swan Lake `Nagi`
- `Suntory Draft`
The venue is described as non-smoking indoors, with a separate smoking area, which makes it comfortable for solo drinkers and small groups. The posts also mention sake and shochu, so it is not limited to beer alone. That broader selection gives CRAFT Rainbow the feel of a neighborhood beer pub rather than a one-note taproom.
For drinkers in Okayama who like comparing beer styles rather than just chasing a single flagship brand, this is the kind of place where a daily update matters. Start with the sour, move to the IPA, and then finish with the cleaner lager-style pours. It is straightforward, but that is exactly the appeal.
