GROW BREW HOUSE Releases Six-Tap List in Nishikawaguchi, Including "Against Day"
GROW BREW HOUSE, a brewpub in Nishikawaguchi, Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture, has posted its latest tap list on Instagram. The lineup features six beers that appear to be house-brewed, including the Dark Lager "Against Day" and the Helles "NK.GOLD," offering a wide range from lagers to sours.
Hop BroGROW BREW HOUSE in Nishikawaguchi has put out a six-beer tap list on Instagram. Seeing everything from lager to sour at once really makes the brewery's personality stand out, doesn't it?
MugiWhoa! Starting with a Dark Lager is pretty classy. The name already feels like nighttime, but what does it taste like?
Hop Bro"Against Day" is the kind of beer you can expect to bring out the toasty aroma of roasted malt and a crisp finish. That toasted character and clean snap are the key points. It's a really versatile one, good as a first pint or with a meal.
MugiHey, hey, what's Helles? It sounds kind of complicated, but if it's a crisp lager, then it should be easy to drink!
Hop BroExactly. "NK.GOLD" has the neat, well-rounded character you'd expect from a Helles, and if you take your time with it, you can probably see the careful brewing behind it. Not flashy, just quietly delicious.
MugiWhoa, next is "R122"! An 8.5% IPA already feels like it's bringing serious energy, and with that hop intensity, it's like the whole mouth is packed like rush-hour trains!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. On top of the IPA's assertiveness, once "Luciole" the Sake Brut Ale comes in, it starts pushing the boundaries of beer. When there is some fermentation-driven playfulness, drinkers can't help but grin.
MugiWow, they've even got a Saison and a Sour Ale! At this point the range of flavors is huge, and my brain is going to be busy just keeping up with all that acidity!
Hop BroAnd because "Pottering" the Saison and "Nishikawa Orange" the Sour Ale are side by side, the beer takes on different expressions even at the same place. Brewpubs like this, where tasting across styles is fun, are the kind of places you end up getting hooked on the more you go.
MugiI can't take it anymore, I want to drink while reading! First a pint of Against Day, then settle down with NK.GOLD, and finish by going hard with R122!
GROW BREW HOUSE, a brewpub in Nishikawaguchi, Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture, has shared its latest tap list on Instagram. True to a place where you can enjoy house-brewed beer on-site, this time the lineup consists of six beers with clearly distinct flavor directions. From a lively lager to a firmly hopped IPA, plus a Sake Brut Ale and a sour that make fermentation-driven character easy to appreciate, the selection is broad.
The six beers on the list are:
- Against Day / Dark Lager / 5%
- NK.GOLD / Helles / 4.5%
- R122 / IPA / 8.5%
- Luciole / Sake Brut Ale / 5.5%
- Pottering / Saison / 6%
- Nishikawa Orange / Sour Ale / 5%
Looking at the lineup, the first beer that stands out is the Dark Lager "Against Day." It should deliver the toasty aroma of roasted malt and a crisp finish, making it a style that works well as a first pint or alongside a meal. "NK.GOLD" seems to offer the clean, well-balanced character typical of a Helles, and a slow tasting comparison would likely reveal the care taken in its brewing.
Meanwhile, "R122" is an 8.5% IPA with a strong presence, suited for those who want to fully enjoy the depth of hop character. "Luciole," a Sake Brut Ale, is a beer that expands the idea of what beer can be a little further, and it also reflects the brewery's sense of playfulness. With "Pottering" as a Saison and "Nishikawa Orange" as a Sour Ale, this tap list offers a wide spread in aroma, acidity, crispness, and richness, even within the same lineup.
As a brewpub that places beer at the center, GROW BREW HOUSE's strength is that drinkers can enjoy confirming the differences between styles as they go. This tap list, too, is the kind of lineup where the shop's personality becomes clearer with each glass.
