The Grafton Beer Pub & Restaurant in Gotanda introduces 14 draft beers and cider
The Gotanda beer pub The Grafton Beer Pub & Restaurant released its March 26 tap list. Alongside Guinness, Heineken, and Hoegaarden, 14 draft selections spanning Japanese craft beers and overseas brands are on offer, and an apple & cinnamon pie can also be enjoyed alongside them.
Hop BroJust the fact that 14 draft beers are all lined up in the basement in Gotanda is already a strong move. The Grafton Beer Pub & Restaurant's tap list has a lot to play with.
MugiWait, 14 kinds! Having Guinness and Hoegaarden too is super reassuring, and it seems easy to walk in even for a first-timer!
Hop BroAnd it's not just the classics, either. I like that they also have YOKOHAMA XPA real ale, Ikari Brewing's Irish Red, and Scottish Brown Real Ale.
MugiWhat's real ale supposed to be! A slightly difficult name just came up and my brain got all fuzzy!
Hop BroRoughly speaking, think of it as something enjoyed alive in the cask. The carbonation isn't too strong, so the aroma and mouthfeel come through more softly.
MugiI see! Then hop-forward beers like Marihana and Deluxe Citra would bring out the aroma and really lift your mood!
Hop BroExactly. On top of that, they have Dank Hop IPA, Black Sheep's MILK STOUT, and even Kampai Brewing!'s Jorurizaka Helles, so you can cover the whole range from IPA to stout to lager styles.
MugiThat's ridiculously broad! If they have everything from hop bombs to lager styles, my "what should I drink today" problem might just be solved in one shot!
Hop BroThe food lineup is strong too. Along with raw oysters, falafel, seared bonito, and spice-grilled pork tongue, they even have black squid ink curry, which is interesting.
MugiWait, and then apple & cinnamon pie too!? Pair that with cider and it's perfect right through dessert!
Hop BroWhat's nice is that it's also easy to use for welcome and farewell parties or banquets, so it feels like a place where you can drink, eat, and leave satisfied.
MugiThat settles it, I want to go raise a glass in Gotanda! I'll start with the cider, so watch me!
Hop BroLeave it to me. I'll bounce between the IPA and the stout while I look for tonight's best pairing. There are just too many reasons to go out drinking!
