CRAFT Rainbow in Okayama updates taps with Fruitsale and nine more
CRAFT Rainbow, a beer pub in Okayama’s Nodayacho area, posted its daily hours and tap list on Instagram. The lineup mixes five English-named taps with Japanese craft beers and Suntory draft beer.
Hop BroToday's topic is CRAFT Rainbow's tap refresh! This beer pub in Okayama just lined up 10 pours, and it's a seriously good spread.
MugiWait, a 10-beer lineup? That's the kind of menu where I panic in a fun way! What's the headliner?
Hop BroThe first thing that jumps out is five English-named taps. Fruitsale, HoppyPaleale, Paleale, Alt, and Pilsner, so you can already see a nice range from aroma-forward to classic styles.
MugiHold on, what is Alt? That sounds less like beer and more like a secret game command!
Hop BroAlt is an amber ale with a toasty malt profile, a style that comes from Germany. Pilsner is crisp, while pale ale usually lets hop aroma come forward more clearly.
MugiOhhh, so it's a great compare-and-contrast lineup. Fruity stuff, bitter stuff, clean stuff... that's dangerous for my wallet!
Hop BroAnd the domestic craft section is strong too. Ushitora Koko kara Pine is on there, plus Omishima Brewery Hoppy Pale Ale, NAMACHA'n Namape, and Swan Lake Album.
MugiWhat is that, the pineapple temptation section? The name alone is trying to put me on a beach.
Hop BroThen they finish with Suntory draft in the mix, so craft fans and classic lager drinkers can both settle in at the same table. That's a very CRAFT Rainbow move.
MugiAnd it's in Nodaya-cho, Okayama, with soccer on the screens, right? Watching the J.League 100 Year Vision League or ACL with beer sounds wildly irresponsible in the best way.
Hop BroThe hours are easy too: Friday to Monday opens at 3. It's non-smoking inside with a separate smoking area, which makes me want to post up and start with Fruitsale.
MugiThat's it, I'm in. Starting with Pilsner and chasing it with an Alt later sounds perfect. Now I fully want a beer.
CRAFT Rainbow, a beer pub in Okayama’s Nodayacho district, shared its opening hours and tap list on Instagram. The venue is open from 3:00 p.m. to midnight on Friday through Monday, and from 5:00 p.m. to midnight on Tuesday through Thursday. The interior is non-smoking, with a separate smoking area.
The day’s lineup includes five English-named taps: `Fruitsale`, `HoppyPaleale`, `Paleale`, `Alt`, and `Pilsner`. The post gives these names without brewery credits, but the range suggests an easy tasting flow from fruit-forward and hoppy beers to pale ale, alt, and pilsner.
The Japanese-labeled section adds `Ushitora Kokokara Pine`, `Omishima Brewery Hoppy Pale Ale`, `NAMACHA’n Namape`, `Swan Lake Album`, and `Suntory draft beer`. That gives the pub a broad spread, from craft pours to a familiar draft option. CRAFT Rainbow also serves sake and shochu, so it works as a flexible stop for different drinking moods. The post also mentions broadcasts of J.League Hundred-Year Vision League matches and ACL games, making it a practical place to pair beer with live sports.
