Grau Craft beer bar in Fujimino lines up 11 beers from Inkhorn, Vertere and more
Grau Craft beer bar in Nima, Fujimino, Saitama, has shared its September schedule and tap list. Six beers are currently on tap, five more are queued next, and the bar also announced a replacement open day on September 1 and a 1 p.m. opening for the neighborhood shrine festival on September 27.
Hop BroSeptember at Grau Craft beer bar looks stacked. They’ve got six beers on now and five more lined up, so the tap board in Fujimino is doing real work.
MugiWait, that’s eleven beers total in the conversation? I expected a full IPA punch-in-the-face menu, but lager and sour made the roster too!
Hop BroThat’s the smart part. The current list is a well-balanced six-pack of styles: Teppozaka IPA, INKHORN’s Java Finch 2026 #3, GROUNDTAP’s IKARU, Tag Lager, and even Postsourism #6.
MugiOkay but Java Finch 2026 #3 sounds like a robot bird from the future. If it’s an American IPA, does that mean bold and bitter but still elegant?
Hop BroPretty much. And IKARU being a Hazy Pale Ale means it’s cloudy, softer on the palate, and more aroma-forward instead of sharp and snappy.
MugiCloudy I can handle. But DDH Hazy? That sounds like a cheat code, not a beer style!
Hop BroThat’s TOTOPIA’s Luckphobia. DDH means extra dry hopping, so they add more hops after fermentation to push the aroma way up. Your nose clocks in before your mouth does.
MugiThat’s ridiculous, I love it. And VERTERE’s Iris is a Cold IPA? So now the IPA shows up crisp, fast, and emotionally unavailable?
Hop BroHonestly, not a bad summary. Cold IPA is a crisp-hop hybrid kind of drinker’s shorthand: bright hop character, but a cleaner, lighter finish. Great next to Tag Lager or CAMADO’s Anky Lager.
MugiI’m still looking at the sour side. If INKHORN’s Postsourism #6 and KYOTO’s Jun are the fruited sour crew, that lane is absolutely covered.
Hop BroThen you add TEENAGE × AMAKUSA SONAR’s SONAR AID as a Juicy IPA, plus the September 1 substitute opening, Curry day on the 18th, and Keyaki Beer Festival on the 17th. It’s pub and event season at the same time.
MugiAnd September 27 is a 1 p.m. opening for the shrine festival, with outside festival food allowed? That is dangerously good life planning.
Hop BroExactly. Start with a lager, stretch into IPA, finish on sour, and call it a perfect afternoon. Reading this put me in need a pint now mode.
Grau Craft beer bar, a beer pub in Nima, Fujimino, Saitama, has posted its September tap update. The current on-tap lineup includes six beers, spanning IPA, hazy pale ale, lager, and fruit sour styles. It is a practical, drinker-friendly mix rather than a single-theme lineup.
Current On Tap
- Kanpai! "Tepposaka IPA" (IPA)
- INKHORN "Java Finch 2026 #3" (American IPA)
- GROUNDTAP "IKARU" (Hazy Pale Ale)
- Yokohama Bay Brewing "Tag Lager" (Czech-Style Pale Lager)
- Oni Densetsu "Gabu Oni Pale Ale 2026" (American Pale Ale)
- INKHORN "Postsourism #6" (Fruited Sour)
A few of these are already down to the last pours, so the IPA and sour slots look especially active. The list also includes a lighter lager option, which should make it easy to pair a beer with food.
Next On Tap
- TOTOPIA "Luckphobia" (DDH Hazy Pale Ale)
- VERTERE "Iris" (Cold IPA)
- TEENAGE × AMAKUSA SONAR "SONAR AID" (Juicy IPA)
- KYOTO "Jun" (Fruits Sour)
- CAMADO "Anky Lager" (Lager)
The bar also shared its September opening schedule. It will open on Tuesday, September 1, instead of taking one of its usual Thursday days off. On Friday, September 18, it will run a Curry Day. On Sunday, September 27, the bar will open at 1 p.m. for the nearby Nima Shinmei Shrine festival, and food bought at the festival can be brought in.
The post also notes an appearance at the Keyaki Beer Festival on Thursday, September 17. That split between neighborhood service and festival presence fits the bar’s local, beer-first character well.
