CRAFT Rainbow in Okayama taps five beers, including Sankt Gallen Suika Wheat
The Okayama beer pub CRAFT Rainbow has added five new beers to its taps, including Sankt Gallen Suika Wheat, Y.Market Brewing’s OverDrive Pale Ale, Hop Kotan’s Totonou, Swan Lake’s Nagi, and Asahi Maruef.
Hop BroCRAFT Rainbow in Okayama just rolled out five fresh taps, and this lineup is seriously well built.
MugiWait, a watermelon wheat beer? What is that, summer vacation in a glass?!
Hop BroIt's St. Gallen's Suika Wheat, and the festival-like aroma is the whole charm. Soft wheat character with a watermelon twist.
MugiAnd the breweries are from Kanagawa, Aichi, Hokkaido, and Niigata? That's a cross-country tasting trip without leaving the pub!
Hop BroThen you've got Y.Market Brewing's OverDrive Pale Ale, Hop Kotan Brewery's Totonou, Swan Lake Beer's Nagi, and Asahi Maruefu, so it's pale ale to pilsner in one neat spread.
MugiHold on, what even is Kolsch?! That sounds less like beer and more like a spell.
Hop BroFor something like Nagi, think ale with lager manners. It's brewed like an ale, but drinks crisp and clean.
MugiOkay, so it's the dangerously easy-drinking type that sounds smart and disappears fast. I respect that.
Hop BroAnd CRAFT Rainbow is a craft-first beer pub in Nodaya-cho, with sake and shochu too, plus a non-smoking room and separate smoking space.
MugiThat's huge. A spot that works for after-work or weekend plans is always strong.
Hop BroThey're open from 3 p.m. to midnight Friday through Monday, and around 5 p.m. to midnight Tuesday through Thursday and holidays, so it's making me thirsty tonight already.
MugiThen it's settled. My first pint plan is Suika Wheat first, Nagi next, and after that... no promises.
Fresh taps
CRAFT Rainbow announced five newly opened beers on this day:
- Sankt Gallen "Suika Wheat" from Kanagawa
- Y.Market Brewing "OverDrive Pale Ale" from Aichi
- Hop Kotan Brewing "Totonou" from Hokkaido
- Swan Lake Beer "Nagi" from Niigata
- Asahi Beer "Asahi Maruef"
The board spans a fruit-forward wheat beer, pale ales, a Kölsch, a pilsner, and a mainstream Japanese lager-style option, so the range is clear and easy to compare. For beer drinkers, it is the kind of lineup that makes a short stop worthwhile.
