CRAFT Rainbow in Okayama posts a tap list with Sanktgallen Suika Wheat
Okayama beer pub CRAFT Rainbow shared its latest tap list on Instagram. The lineup centers on Japanese craft beer, led by Sanktgallen Suika Wheat, alongside Y.Market, Hop Kotan, Swan Lake, and Suntory draft beer.
Hop BroIf we're talking about a drink in Okayama, CRAFT Rainbow's tap list looks strong today. They've got five mostly domestic craft beers, led by Sankt Gallen's "Suika Wheat."
MugiWhat, a watermelon beer!? That name sounds like summer vacation poured straight into a glass!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. It's a fruit-forward wheat beer from Sankt Gallen, with the soft feel of wheat malt and a light watermelon-like aroma.
MugiWhoa! But the post also said Kolsch and Pilsner, right? Did this suddenly turn into a beer terminology quiz?
Hop BroHere's the simple version: Kolsch is light and crisp, and Pilsner is that clean, classic lager style. Hoppokotan's "Totonou" fits the Kolsch side, and Swan Lake's "Nagi" was listed as a Pilsner.
MugiNo way, that's a full tasting lineup then. Start playful with watermelon, get lively with pale ale, then finish nice and clean!
Hop BroExactly, and they also have y.Market's "OverDrivePaleale" plus Suntory draft, so there's range. Add sake and shochu on top, and the place really knows how to welcome different moods.
MugiThat's broad! And I love that it's non-smoking inside with a separate smoking area. That makes it easy to bring friends along.
Hop BroIt's in Nodaya-cho, Kita Ward, Okayama. Hours are 3:00 p.m. to midnight from Friday to Monday, and 5:00 p.m. to midnight Tuesday to Thursday. It's basically perfect for a quick beer in town.
MugiThen that's settled, meet at CRAFT Rainbow. I'm starting with Suika Wheat, and you can sit there giving style breakdowns while we drink!
