The beer pub CRAFT Rainbow in Kita Ward, Okayama City, released its March 30 tap lineup. Five taps were on offer, including Shimanami Brewery's Fresh Sour Grapefruit, along with beers from moonrise and Y Market.
Hop BroToday the hot lineup in Nodayacho, Kita Ward, Okayama City is a five-tap setup. CRAFT Rainbow released its March 30 tap list, and it is a pretty interesting one.
MugiWhoa! So five taps means that many beers lined up?! And following the tap changes sounds so insider and cool!
Hop BroThe highlight is Shimanami Brewery's Fresh Sour Grapefruit. It's a fruit-forward sour with a refreshing hit of acidity and juiciness.
MugiSour means the tart kind, right? But if acidity is the star, does beer turn kind of like juice?
Hop BroExactly. Roughly speaking, some styles are designed with lactic fermentation or other fermentation methods to produce a sharp sourness. When you add grapefruit aroma on top of that, the fruitiness and acidity combine and make it go down really easily.
MugiThat sounds amazing! And even the name moonrise's Yoizuki sounds stylish enough to make you want to drink it!
Hop BroWhat’s great is that Yoizuki, Y Market's Minamichita Blood Orange IPA, 3tree's Marukobu, and even Suntory Draft are all on tap. An IPA has hop aroma and bitterness with sharper edges, so if you compare it with a sweet-tart sour, the differences really stand out.
MugiWow, so the outline of the hops can be that clear! But it’s not just about bitterness, you enjoy the aroma too, huh?
Hop BroAnd the hours are convenient too: Friday through Monday 3:00 p.m. to midnight, and Tuesday through Thursday 5:00 p.m. to midnight. They also note that it’s non-smoking but has a smoking area, so it’s set up to be easy for people who want to relax over a drink.
MugiIf you can watch the game too, isn’t it basically the perfect place for a drink? If I were drinking while watching the J.League Centennial Vision League or the ACL, I’d probably get so excited I’d shout!
Hop BroExactly. If you’re following the tap flow in Okayama, CRAFT Rainbow is one to watch, and today feels like a perfect day for a tasting showdown.
MugiMy throat has already learned to expect beer! This article probably understands the urge to drink right now better than anything else!
