Okayama's CRAFT Rainbow unveils two new taps and reveals its five-tap lineup for March 25
The beer pub "CRAFT Rainbow" in Kita Ward, Okayama City, shared its tap lineup for the day ahead of business opening on March 25. The two new taps are "Nama Sour Grapefruit" and "Yoizuki." From IPA to Belgian White to Pilsner, the lineup makes it easy to compare different styles side by side.
Hop BroCRAFT Rainbow in Nodaya-cho, Okayama, has put out its five taps for March 25. The two new taps are "Nama Sour Grapefruit" and "Yoizuki," and that alone is enough to get pretty excited.
MugiWhoa, two new taps! And even the names already sound delicious. Just hearing "sour grapefruit" makes my mouth pucker!
Hop BroExactly. Shimanami Brewery's "Nama Sour Grapefruit" sounds like a beer where citrus tartness takes center stage. Paired with moonrise's "Yoizuki," the range of flavors is what makes it interesting.
MugiRange of flavors? What does that even mean! Isn't beer just bitter or sweet? A wide range sounds like the energy of a party, and now I'm curious!
Hop BroFor example, today's lineup includes a Miyagi-based IPA, a Kagoshima-based Belgian White, and even Suntory Draft. When IPA and white beer are on the same table, you can compare everything from hop bitterness to the softness of wheat beer in one go.
MugiOhhh! So today you can start with something sour, move on to something bitter, and end with something gentle. That's an amazing tasting route!
Hop BroExactly. And the post presents the tap list in both English and Japanese, which shows how serious the shop is. Places that track things this closely really do make each day’s lineup interesting.
MugiWait, they go that far? And CRAFT Rainbow is easy to get to from the Okayama Station area, right? That would be perfect for dropping by after work!
Hop BroThe hours are convenient too: 3:00 p.m. openings from Friday through Monday, and 5:00 p.m. openings from Tuesday through Thursday. Plus, it's non-smoking with a separate space, so it's easy to relax and focus on the beer.
MugiNice, I can already picture the glasses lined up in my head! You could be satisfied with just one place today, but honestly this is the kind of lineup that makes you want to try everything!
Hop BroExactly. On a day like this, CRAFT Rainbow makes you want to dream of conquering all five taps. Yeah, I can already see the future: start with the "Nama Sour Grapefruit," then end with just one more glass.
