Gotanda THE GRAFTON Releases April 17 Tap List, with Guinness and Uchu IPA Too
Gotanda beer pub THE GRAFTON has published its April 17 tap list. Alongside staples such as Guinness and Magners, the draft lineup spans a wide range of characterful pours, including an IPA from Uchu Brewing and a stout from Marble Brewery.
Hop BroToday, Gotanda's tap list reveal is heating up. The GRAFTON has released its April 17 lineup, and it runs the gamut from Guinness to Uchu Brewing, which makes it a pretty wide-ranging selection.
MugiWait, Uchu Brewing already sounds strong just from the name. What kind of place is it?
Hop BroIt's a wood-toned beer pub within walking distance of Gotanda Station and Osaki-Hirokoji Station, with tables, sofas, and counter seating. It even has a large screen, so you can drink while watching sports, which feels very much like a proper pub.
MugiOh wow! Being able to drink while watching sports sounds so fun. Does it have a lot of beer options?
Hop BroDefinitely. On the regular side, Guinness and cider are the main draws. Along with Magners, Heineken, and Hoegaarden, they also have COED's Marihana and Sanktgallen's YOKOHAMA XPA REAL ALE.
MugiWait, what's a real ale? That suddenly sounds like a very insider term!
Hop BroGood catch. It's draught beer with restrained carbonation, a style that makes it easy to bring out a British-style full-bodied character. Rather than relying on foam, it lets you take in the malt flavor and hop aroma at a slower, richer pace.
MugiI see! So the guest side is more experimental? I was curious because it says they have a wide guest lineup.
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. They have UnBarred Brewery's hazy pale ale, HUMANS BEER's hazy IPA, TEENAGE BREWING's DIPA, Kakegawa Beer’s pils, UCHU BREWING's Galactic Path IPA, and Marble Brewery's Marble Stout. They've really got plenty of IPA and stout choices.
MugiWhoa, they even have a fruit beer!? GUAVA & MANGO sounds like something you could drink like dessert!
Hop BroExactly. And since it pairs really well with pub food like fish and chips and shepherd's pie, it's fun to compare dark beer, cider, IPA, and stout one by one.
MugiI'm completely ready for beer to call the shots on my appetite! I'm curious about everything from dark beer to IPA, and now I want to head to GRAFTON and try them one by one!
Hop BroExactly. Let's call it a perfect day for tasting flights. Start with Guinness to settle in, bounce over to the Uchu IPA, and finish with the Marble Stout. That's a pretty ideal flow.
April 17 Tap List
The Grafton Beer Pub & Restaurant, within walking distance of Gotanda Station and Osaki-Hirokoji Station, is a beer pub restaurant with a calm, wood-toned interior and table seating, sofa seating, and counter seating. A large screen is also installed, making it a place where you can enjoy draft beer while watching sports, another characteristic of the shop.
In its Friday, April 17 post, the pub presented both regular offerings and guest selections under the headings REGULAR DRAUGHT BEER & CIDER and TODAY'S GUEST DRAUGHT BEER & CIDER. The regular side featured Guinness, Ikari Brewing's Irish Red and Scottish Real Ale, Heineken, Hoegaarden White, Sanktgallen's YOKOHAMA XPA REAL ALE, Magners Cider, and COED Marihana Session IPA.
