Okayama’s CRAFT Rainbow posts a tap lineup featuring 2SAW and local brews
CRAFT Rainbow, a beer pub in Nodayacho, Okayama, posted its tap lineup on June 4. The list includes 2SAW’s Dance, Matsumoto Brewery SessionIPA, Daisen G Beer Scottish Ale, and Suntory Nama, alongside an English caption listing IPA, SessionIPA, ScottishAle, and Pilsner.
Hop BroToday's post from Okayama beer pub CRAFT Rainbow has a June 4 tap list worth talking about, with 2SAW's "Dance" leading a very tempting lineup.
MugiWait, "Dance" is a beer name? I don't have to perform choreography before ordering, right?!
Hop BroIt's definitely the beer. 2SAW means 2nd Story Ale Works, and the board runs from IPA to Pilsner, so hop fans and crisp-beer people both get fed.
MugiOkay, but Session IPA means what exactly? It sounds like the beer joined a jam band.
Hop BroIn beer terms, session means it's built to keep drinking comfortably, usually lighter in strength and feel. Matsumoto Brewery's version should have a light easy-drinking feel, which is perfect for a first pint.
MugiGot it! Then what kind of creature is the Scottish Ale from Daisen G Beer? I'm picturing plaid in a glass.
Hop BroThat one's fun because malt steps forward instead of hops, so you get caramel-like depth and a biscuit vibe. Put it next to "Dance" or an IPA and the contrast really pops.
MugiThat range is huge! And they even have Suntory draft, plus sake and shochu, so nobody in the group gets left standing there in beverage panic.
Hop BroAlso, the pub is non-smoking with a smoking area, which makes it easier to settle in. Hours are 3 p.m. to midnight Friday through Monday, and 5 p.m. to midnight Tuesday through Thursday.
MugiBut hold on, June 9 through June 17 is scheduled closure, right? So checking the open days is non-negotiable unless we want to chase a ghost pint.
Hop BroExactly. So on a day they're open, I want to start with 2SAW's "Dance", move to Matsumoto's Session IPA, and finish with Daisen G Beer's Scottish Ale.
MugiThen it's settled! At CRAFT Rainbow I want a full compare-the-taps mission, because now I need both bright hop edges and cozy malt richness in my life.
