CRAFT Rainbow in Okayama lists Sankt Gallen and four more taps
CRAFT Rainbow, a beer pub in Nodayacho, Okayama, posted its June 24 lineup. The taps feature WatermeronWeat from Sankt Gallen, OverDrivePaleale from Y.Market Brewing, Totonou from Hop Kotan, Nagi from Swan Lake, plus a Pilsner/Suntory draft option.
Hop BroI’ve got my eye on CRAFT Rainbow’s latest taps in Nodaya-cho, Okayama, and the June 24 lineup feels especially built for summer.
MugiWait, really? Right in central Okayama and they’re pouring that kind of lineup? Even the name sounds colorful and dangerous!
Hop BroThe headliner is Sankt Gallen’s Suika Wheat. It’s a wheat beer, so you get that summery fruit character right up front.
MugiWhoa, hold on, what is a wheat beer? My brain just opened a bakery inside a brewery.
Hop BroSimple version: it helps create a softer mouthfeel. Compared with all-barley beer, it often comes across lighter and fluffier.
MugiOhhh, that sounds perfect for a hot day! And they’ve also got Y.Market Brewing’s OverDrivePaleale? That’s unfairly good.
Hop BroExactly. Pale ale is a classic style for enjoying hop-forward aroma, so it makes a great reference point for a tasting run.
MugiAnd Hoppokotan Brewery has Totonou on too? That name alone sounds like I’m already post-sauna and emotionally healed.
Hop BroThen Swan Lake’s Nagi is in the mix as well, plus Pilsner and Suntory draft, so both craft nerds and classic-beer drinkers are covered.
MugiI also like the non-smoking interior setup with a separate smoking space. That kind of clear info matters, and they even serve sake and shochu.
Hop BroFor June 24 they open at 5 p.m. and go late, and this kind of practical tap update is great because it tells you exactly what you can drink right now.
MugiThat settles it. I want a summer beer flight first, then maybe a safe little pilsner landing at the end. Now I’m thirsty.
Okayama’s CRAFT Rainbow updated its tap list in a June 24 service notice. The pub is non-smoking indoors, with a separate smoking area, and it stated that it opens from 5 p.m. to midnight on this day. Its regular hours are 3 p.m. to midnight from Friday through Monday, and 5 p.m. to midnight from Tuesday through Thursday.
The lineup mixes seasonal and familiar choices: WatermeronWeat (Sankt Gallen) leads the list, followed by OverDrivePaleale (Y.Market Brewing), Totonou (Hop Kotan Brewing), and Nagi (Swan Lake Beer). A Pilsner / Suntory draft option is also listed, so the board covers both Japanese craft beer and a more classic domestic pour.
Japanese sake and shochu are available as well, which makes the bar suitable for a longer drinking session rather than a single-style stop. For beer drinkers in central Okayama, the appeal here is straightforward: a rotating tap board, a compact pub setting, and a lineup that gives you both seasonal flavor and reliable everyday drinking options.
