Sureshot's stout tapped at The Grafton on March 20
The Grafton Beer Pub & Restaurant in Gotanda has updated its tap information for March 20. The guest cask is Manchester's Sureshot Brewing "Shh..It’s Just Magic STOUT." In addition to standard overseas brands, the lineup also features a wide range of domestic breweries, including real ale, IPA, and cider.
Hop BroSomething happened underground in Gotanda - The Grafton's tap update went in on March 20, and "Shh..It’s Just Magic STOUT" from Manchester's Sureshot Brewing is on the way.
MugiWhoa! So it's a stout, meaning that dark, rich pint? Even the name already feels magical!
Hop BroExactly. And it's not just any dark beer - the highlight this time is a cask from Sureshot Brewing. The Grafton lines up both overseas staples and domestic craft, so the tap list is pretty impressive.
MugiBut wait, what's real ale? I know ale, but once "real" gets added it suddenly sounds strong and I don't get it!
Hop BroGood question. It's a British-style pour that lets you enjoy natural cask conditioning. They don't blast it with carbonation, so it's easier to appreciate the malt's roundness and aroma slowly.
MugiI see! So this is more of a lineup made for comparing different beers? There's Guinness and Hoegaarden too, so it feels like an adult beer encyclopedia!
Hop BroExactly - YOKOHAMA XPA, Best Bitter, Dank Hop IPA, and MARS are the kind of lineup that makes comparing hops and malt easy. There are even Kölsch-style beers, so the range goes from light and crisp to more substantial.
MugiWow! And they even have Black Sheep's MILK STOUT? It sounds sweet, and I want to try it - just the stout comparison alone could fill the whole night!
Hop BroAnd it's not just beer - they also have falafel and fresh oysters, so you can enjoy the art of pairing too. Having light snacks on the table makes both the dark pint and the next one go down easier.
MugiNow I really want to go! It's the kind of place where you can drop in after work and end up wanting to try everything from the first drink to the next few.
The Grafton Beer Pub & Restaurant, located underground in the Gotanda and Nishi-Gotanda area, has published its tap list for Friday, March 20. The highlight this time is the guest opening announced as Manchester's Sureshot Brewing "Shh..It’s Just Magic STOUT." Centered on a dark beer, the lineup spans a broad range, from classic brands to domestic craft.
On this day’s taps, overseas staples such as Guinness, Heineken, Hoegaarden, and Magners Cider are joined by domestic names including Sankt Gallen, Ikari Brewing, Coedo Brewery, Kakegawa Beer, Uchu Brewing, and Hansharo Beer. The styles range from real ale and Irish red to IPA and Kölsch, making it easy to build a tasting lineup from the first pint onward.
In particular, YOKOHAMA XPA Real Ale, Best Bitter Real Ale, Dank Hop IPA, and MARS are a set worth comparing for their hop character and malt expression. The list also includes Black Sheep "MILK STOUT" and Farm & Cidery Kaneshige "HOPHEAD", so even though the focus is beer, there is still plenty of room to branch out in flavor.
On the food side, falafel and fresh oysters from Ofunato, Iwate are also listed, making for a day with the kind of food pairings you would expect from a beer pub. Whether you are stopping in for one drink after work or settling in for several, this is a practical tap update that feels distinctly like The Grafton.
