CRAFTRainbow in Okayama pours Dance, Session IPA and Scottish Ale
CRAFT Rainbow, the beer pub in Okayama’s Nodayacho district, updated its June 3 tap lineup. The selection includes Dance by 2nd Story Ale Works, Matsumoto Brewery’s Session IPA, and Daisen G Beer’s Scottish Ale, alongside sake and shochu.
Hop BroThe June 3 update from CRAFTRainbow in Okayama is out, and that tap list looks seriously good.
MugiWait, seriously good how? What beers are on there?
Hop BroThey’ve got 2nd Story Ale Works’ Dance, Matsumoto Brewery’s Session IPA, Daisen G Beer’s Scottish Ale, plus Suntory draft, so it’s a four-pour lineup with range.
MugiSession IPA? What does that even mean? It sounds like a workout class.
Hop BroUsually it means lower alcohol but plenty of hop aroma, basically a lighter, longer-drinking IPA.
MugiOhhh! Then what kind of vibe does Dance have? That name has main-character energy.
Hop BroThe post doesn’t list every detail, but with 2saw I’d expect something crisp and lively. The English board also shows IPA (Tokushima) and Pilsner (Japan), so it’s an ale-to-lager spread.
MugiThat’s a lot of choice! And it’s non-smoking with a separate smoking area, which feels like thoughtful pub design.
Hop BroExactly. It opens from 3 p.m. to midnight Friday through Monday, 5 p.m. to midnight Tuesday through Thursday, and they even have sake and shochu, so it’s a great place to linger.
MugiA craft beer bar with backup options is kind of sweet... but if they’re closed from June 9 to June 17, then this week is the window!
Hop BroRight, and they’re also planning J.League Hyakunen Koso League screenings, so it sounds perfect for settling in. Now I’m torn between the Scottish Ale and starting with Dance.
MugiI’d warm up with the Session IPA and finish with the Scottish Ale. My need-a-pint meter is completely maxed out!
CRAFT Rainbow in Nodayacho, Okayama, updated its service notice on June 3. The pub is non-smoking, with a separate smoking area, and it opens from 3:00 p.m. to midnight on Friday through Monday and from 5:00 p.m. to midnight on Tuesday through Thursday.
The day’s lineup centers on Dance from 2nd Story Ale Works, Session IPA from Matsumoto Brewery, Scottish Ale from Daisen G Beer, and Suntory draft beer. The English list also mentions IPA (Tokushima) and Pilsner (Japan), giving the taps a mix of ale-leaning and lager-style options.
Japanese sake and shochu are also available. That makes the bar more than a beer-only stop: it still keeps craft beer at the core, but leaves room for a different pace of drinking. The shop also announced a planned closure from June 9 through June 17, and it will broadcast J.League Centennial League matches. For beer fans in Okayama, it is a pub worth keeping on the radar.
