Hop BroAt Grau Craft beer bar in Fujimino, Saitama, the 5th anniversary stamp rally is underway. You get one point for each beer, and the more anniversary beers you drink, the more rewards you unlock. It's a pretty fun setup.
MugiWait, so it's not just about drinking? A drink more, get more rewards system? That's like a beer-world stamp war!
Hop BroThe current ON TAP lineup is interesting too. CRANC x Grau's 99.9 ver.2 is a Double IPA, and they've also got NAMACHA n x Grau's Hazy IPA and BLACK TIDE's Unfiltered Lager.
MugiDouble IPA, Hazy, my head is already full of foam! Is Hazy IPA the cloudy one?
Hop BroExactly. Hazy IPA is cloudy in appearance, and the hop aroma and juiciness tend to come forward. That's why it really appeals to people who want to enjoy a juicy aroma.
MugiI see! So it looks easy to drink, but then it hits you with aroma. I like that expression, hits you with aroma. Kind of scary, but I like it!
Hop BroAnd the anniversary beers cover a wide range too. There's Kanpai! x MATSUMOTO's Dark Mild Ale and even NARA's Sake Yeast Beer, so each anniversary beer has a totally different personality.
MugiA beer made with sake yeast?! That's not a meeting, that's a culture festival! I'm curious what sake yeast beer tastes like!
Hop BroThe anniversary beers also have separate serving windows: CRANC and NAMACHA n from 4/3 to 4/17, CAMADO from 4/18 to 5/6, Kanpai! from 4/29 to 5/23, and D and D from 5/24 to 6/15. And if one runs out, substitutes are okay, so there's a lot of freedom in how you can visit.
MugiThat's a considerate way to run things! And they're closed on 4/13 and 4/14, with the next update at 5:00 p.m. on 4/15. Even the wait for reopening feels like part of the event.
Hop BroLike a neighborhood beer pub should, Grau is the kind of place where you can enjoy collaborations and anniversary events together. This really feels like the next pint is the main event.
MugiExactly! I'm curious about both 99.9 ver.2 and the Hazy IPA, and I want to collect the anniversary stamps too. I'm completely in drinking mode today!
