Four Beers from Sureshot, Riot Beer, HUMANSBEER, and UCHU Featured at Gotanda The Grafton
The Grafton Beer Pub & Restaurant in Nishi-Gotanda, Tokyo updated its "TODAY'S SPECIAL BEER" post on April 3. Four beers from Sureshot, Riot Beer, HUMANSBEER, and UCHU BREWING were lined up, offering a broad selection ranging from dry stout to hazy DIPA.
Hop BroThe Grafton Beer Pub & Restaurant in Gotanda updated its TODAY'S SPECIAL BEER on April 3. Sureshot, Riot Beer, HUMANSBEER, and UCHU were all lined up, making for a tap list with a pretty wide range.
MugiWhoa! Only four beers and it still feels luxurious? With a lineup like that, I'd already be lost just by reading the menu outside the shop!
Hop BroThe first one that stands out is Sureshot Brewing's Shh.. It's Just Magic. It's a classic dry stout that’s popular in Manchester, and the roasted malt aroma comes through beautifully.
MugiIsn't dry stout just bitter and black? It sounds like something super coffee-like might hit all of a sudden...
Hop BroTo put it simply, it's a dark beer you can drink cleanly without much sweetness. So even though roasty character takes center stage, it doesn't feel too heavy, and it can surprisingly work as a first beer too.
MugiOhhh! I'm also curious about Riot Beer's Session Lager-Ale Hybrid! A lager-ale hybrid sounds like it takes the best of both worlds rather than being indecisive, right?
Hop BroExactly. This one is introduced as a Kölsch, with citrusy notes layered over a bitter finish that leans pilsner-like. It's light and lively, but finishes with a crisp snap, so it seems like a great match for food too.
MugiWow, that sounds like the perfect food beer! But HUMANSBEER's SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER name already sounds like it's going to be energetic!
Hop BroThat's right. Since it was listed as a DDH Hazy DIPA, it's the kind that should be exploding with hop aroma. With its hazy appearance, it should bring juiciness and weight, and putting it next to a dark beer makes the range pretty wild.
MugiAnd then there's UCHU BREWING's 宇宙Deluxe Citra! If it's Citra-forward, I'm excited for that tropical, bright aroma!
Hop BroSince it's built around Citra, it should have tons of hop character and plenty to chew on. This The Grafton lineup covers roasty beers, lager-leaning pours, and hazy IPA styles, so it feels like it would make for a night of fun style comparisons in Gotanda.
MugiIt's decided then! I'll start light and finish with a hazy one, and I definitely want to be seriously indecisive about my first beer in Gotanda!
Hop BroNice. Then I'd start with the stout and jump to Citra later. Reading this makes me want to raise a glass right now.
