Hop BroGrau Craft beer bar in Fujimino updated its taps on April 9. The centerpiece is Oni Densetsu's 'Kin-Oni Pale Ale Krush Single Ver.', and with collaborations and even a saison on tap, it's a seriously fun lineup.
MugiWait, so it's a 6-tap update? Not just one beer, but that many? That is seriously exciting!
Hop BroExactly. The beer to watch first is Oni Densetsu's Kin-Oni Pale Ale. It uses Krush as a single hop, so you get citrus- and stone-fruit-like aromas, plus a bitterness that comes through clearly even though the body is soft.
MugiKrush Single Ver.? What exactly is the single ver. part single about? It sounds like a song version or something, like this beer has live-show energy!
Hop BroIt means they keep the hop selection narrow so that one variety's character stands out. In this case, Krush's personality comes forward, and the aroma is easier to read.
MugiI get it! And the post is basically pushing pork jerky, so they're totally making you want to drink. Pair that with a salty snack and it sounds like you could go forever...
Hop BroThe lineup is strong too. CRANC × Grau's 99.9 ver.2 is a Double IPA, and NAMACHAん × Grau's Re:NAMAGrauzy is a Hazy IPA, so hop fans are definitely going to grin at this set.
MugiWhoa, Hazy IPA again! That's the cloudy, juicy kind, right? But then dropping a Dark Mild after that feels like an abrupt shift into calm mode!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. There's also BREWCCOLY's Munich Saison, Kanpai! × MATSUMOTO's Dark Mild Ale, and NARA's sake yeast beer. From lively to mellow, the flavor range is huge.
MugiAnd the next beer is THE DANK LOVERS, right? Just hearing West Coast IPA makes my back straighten up from the bitterness!
Hop BroExactly. The place is even teasing the next keg release, which is what makes it so appealing. Whether you're looking for your first beer of the day in Fujimino or want to do a tasting comparison, this is the kind of place that draws you back.
MugiI can't take it, I want to drink now! I'd start with Kin-Oni, then try the collaboration IPAs and the saison, and I'd probably keep coming back every time the taps change!
Hop BroThen it's settled. Let's start with one Kin-Oni while we follow the changing taps. Today, let's make it a slow-drinking day at Grau.
The beer pub Grau Craft beer bar, located in Nema, Fujimino City, Saitama Prefecture, released its latest tap list on April 9.

The brewer's note describes citrus and stone-fruit aromas, along with a soft body and a bitterness underneath, giving the beer a clear outline even as a pint served in the shop.
