The beer pub CRAFT Rainbow in Nodayacho, Kita Ward, Okayama City, announced that day's draft lineup in a May 20 post. UBP, Onidensetsu, Isekadoya Beer, Hansharo Beer, and Suntory Draft were on tap, and while the venue is non-smoking, a smoking area is also available.
Hop BroThe CRAFT Rainbow in Nodayacho, Kita Ward, Okayama City, put out today's taps on May 20. UBP, Onidensetsu, Isekadoya Beer, Hansharo Beer, and Suntory Draft - that's a pretty wide-ranging lineup.
MugiWhat! Five drafts? That means the beer you choose today might basically reveal your personality!
Hop BroThe first one that stands out is UBP's Asakano Kisaki Ale. It's an ale with citrus-like notes, and it's the kind of beer that's perfect as a first pour.
MugiCitrus-like? So that's what they mean by ale nuances? The wording got so stylish all of a sudden that my understanding has turned into foam!
Hop BroPut simply, it's the kind of beer where the malt sweetness and hop aroma gently come through. Lining it up with Kinkoni Pale Ale and Nikukyu IPA makes it interesting to watch the hop character gradually deepen.
MugiWow, hearing "hop character" suddenly makes you sound like a real beer person! But "Nikukyu IPA" is such a cute name I can't tell whether it's supposed to be strong or comforting!
Hop BroThat contrast is part of the appeal. Hansharo Beer's NewWorldKolsch has a light, crisp mouthfeel, and if you slot it in after an IPA, it helps reset your palate.
MugiOhhh, a light kolsch is good at taking a break, huh. So you finish with Suntory Draft and land on, "Yeah, draft really is great," right?
Hop BroExactly. And the interior is non-smoking with a separate area, so it's easy to focus on the beer's aroma. It's also convenient that they're open from 15:00 to 24:00 Friday through Monday, and 17:00 to 24:00 Tuesday through Thursday, making it easy to stop by after work.
MugiNice, if it's easy to get to from around Okayama Station, that's really convenient! Today I feel like following the tap changes and having a drink myself!
