Uchu Brewing's MONOLITH DDH West Coast IPA is tapped at The Grafton in Gotanda
The Grafton Beer Pub & Restaurant in Nishi-Gotanda announced a guest draft update on Instagram. Uchu Brewing's MONOLITH DDH West Coast IPA is now on tap, alongside draft Pilsner Urquell.
Hop BroToday’s headline is that The Grafton in Gotanda just tapped MONOLITH DDH West Coast IPA. An Uchu Brewing guest keg like that is hard to ignore.
MugiWait, Uchu Brewing in Gotanda? That name already sounds so huge I expect a galaxy to pour out of the glass!
Hop BroAnd the style is West Coast IPA, which is the fun part. Crisp bitterness, bright hop aroma, and a really defined shape to the flavor.
MugiOkay, but what is DDH? That sounds less like beer and more like a secret finishing move.
Hop BroIt stands for double dry hopping. Basically, they layer extra hop aroma after fermentation, so the beer gets way more expressive when you lift the glass.
MugiSo it’s basically aroma extra topping? Wow, that suddenly makes sense, and now my nose wants the first sip.
Hop BroExactly, and The Grafton also has this calm basement pub vibe. It’s the kind of place where you can settle in and really think about what to order.
MugiAnd they also have Pilsner Urquell on tap, right? That’s such a dangerous combo, one punchy IPA and one classic pilsner in the same stop.
Hop BroVery dangerous in the best way. MONOLITH shines with draft-level freshness, while the Pilsner Urquell gives you that clean, classic reset between sips.
MugiNow I’m fully in pick your pint mode. I’d walk downstairs and immediately start overthinking which one deserves the first order.
Hop BroThat’s the beauty of it, you go there to read the tap lineup like it’s a mood board. Uchu’s IPA first, then the pilsner to bring everything back into focus.
MugiThen it’s settled, meet in Gotanda now. I want to blast off with MONOLITH and land safely with Pilsner Urquell.
