Two anniversary beers opened for Grau Craft beer bar's 5th anniversary
At Grau Craft beer bar in Fujimino City, Saitama Prefecture, two anniversary beers have been tapped to celebrate its 5th anniversary. Centered on a Double IPA and a Hazy IPA, the tap list also features beers from NAMACHAん, BEER BRAIN, TWO FINGERS, and more, with NARA and CAMADO lined up as possible next pours.
Hop BroThe 5th anniversary beers have arrived in Fujimino. At Grau Craft beer bar, the first wave of anniversary releases is here with CRANC × Grau : 99.9 ver.2 and NAMACHAん × Grau : Re:NAMAGrauzy, right?
MugiWait, two anniversary beers tapped at once!? And just from the names alone, they sound strong... I'm already getting tipsy just looking at the lettering!
Hop BroThe former is a high-ABV, super-bitter Double IPA, made by going all in on the request to make it as bitter as possible. That kind of straight-up attack really feels right for an anniversary brew.
MugiWhat even is high-ABV! Does that mean higher alcohol and bitter? A little scary, but now I'm curious!
Hop BroExactly. It means both the alcohol and bitterness are dialed up. And the latter, Re:NAMAGrauzy, is a rebuild from five years ago, finished again with today's techniques as a Hazy IPA.
MugiOhhh! If it's a Hazy IPA, it sounds easy to drink, and when you say Citra-derived aroma, it instantly feels stylish!
Hop BroThat's right. They're aiming for a grapefruit character and a tropical finish, so it's not just bitter, but should also have a broad aromatic spread. For an anniversary beer, that's a pretty hot design.
MugiAnd there are six beers ON TAP!? It's a comparison-tasting paradise. Having pilsner, Kölsch, and Rauchbier all lined up is an insane range!
Hop BroThe current lineup runs from NAMABRAIN PILS and Lemon Kölsch to Namachan's Rauch and Witch’s Smoothie. From light and crisp to smoky and smoothie sour, that's very Grau.
MugiAnd there are even next candidates like NARA and CAMADO waiting in the wings! There's still more to look forward to. This is the kind of place where you want to go from 15:00 to 23:00 and leave with both a sticker and a stamp card!
Hop BroAt the end of the day, the right move is just to sip the anniversary pint while watching the next tap. Today is the kind of day where you want to go for bitterness, or play around with aroma, or maybe want both.
At Grau Craft beer bar in Naima, Fujimino City, Saitama Prefecture, anniversary beers commemorating the bar's 5th anniversary have been tapped. The "first wave of anniversary beers" introduced in the post consists of CRANC × Grau : 99.9 ver.2 and NAMACHAん × Grau : Re:NAMAGrauzy. The former is a high-ABV, intensely bitter Double IPA created in response to a request for something "as bitter as possible," while the latter is a Hazy IPA rebuilt from a recipe from five years ago using today's techniques, aiming for a grapefruit-like character from Citra and a tropical aftertaste.
There are currently six beers ON TAP. NAMACHAん × BEER BRAIN : NAMABRAIN PILS, NAMACHAん : Lemon Kölsch, NAMACHAん : Namachan's Rauch, and NAMACHAん × TWO FINGERS : Witch’s Smoothie are on the board, and together with the two anniversary beers, the lineup offers a wide range of styles, from a crisp pilsner and Kölsch to Rauchbier and smoothie sour. With a lineup that shows a different face in every glass, the fun of comparing pours is clear.
Also waiting in the NEXT TAP slot are Kanpai! × MATSUMOTO : Gekizaka Dark Mild Ale, BREWCCOLY : CROSS, NARA : UNDERWATER:LUMINOUS, and CAMADO : THE DANK LOVERS. While the focus is on the anniversary, the way the taps are managed with the next pint already in view is also very much in keeping with this bar. As a beer pub, Grau Craft beer bar suits beer fans who want to take their time while following the taps. The post also announced business hours from 15:00 to 23:00, along with a sticker gift for each beer purchased and a stamp card promotion, making it a way to take the anniversary mood home with you.
