GROW BREW HOUSE in Saitama's Kawaguchi city is a brewery-connected brewpub in Nishi-Kawaguchi. Its taproom keeps brewers and drinkers close, and the house focuses on small-batch, wide-ranging beers.

The current tap list features the dark lager Against Day, the saison POTTERING, the hazy IPA Heiji, the American rye ale 17AVE, the black IPA Luna Phase, and the cream ale Hitoe Shitate. Because everything is brewed in-house, the lineup spans a wide range of styles, from easy-drinking beers to richer, more bitter, roastier pours.

In the post caption, Heiji and Hitoe Shitate are described as running low, and the next beer on deck is expected to be a fruit gose-style release. If there is a beer you want to catch, it looks worth checking in sooner rather than later.

The taproom opens at 5 p.m. on weekdays and 3 p.m. on weekends and holidays. The brewer, a former cook, also prepares beer-friendly food on a flexible basis, and the venue keeps things casual with weekend kitchen takeovers and even a bring-your-own-food option. The post also points to a busy August calendar, including local market appearances, a public brew day with curry, a record event, a kushikatsu pop-up, a nagashi-somen gathering, and a DJ night.
