Bishu Brewing and OKD new taps at Nagoya's GRILLMAN, plus a seafood sauté debuts
At Japan Craft Beer&Wine GRILLMAN in Nagoya's Nishiki district, a new seafood sauté menu item was prepared in time for the 3:00 p.m. opening on May 15. The taps featured Bishu Brewing's hazy pale ale, OKD's plum saison, and Daisen G Beer’s Scottish ale.
Hop BroNagoya's Nishiki GRILLMAN new tap lineup is pretty interesting. In time for the May 15, 3:00 p.m. opening, they brought in Bishu Brewing's hazy, OKD's plum saison, and even Daisen G Beer's Scottish ale.
MugiWait, three beers on tap at once!? And there's seafood sauté too? They're absolutely serious about making us drink!
Hop BroFirst up is Bishu Brewing's Wool and Ale hazy pale ale. It's a regular beer that won silver at the International Beer Cup 2024, and it leans into the juicy character you expect from a hazy.
MugiOhhh! So besides being cloudy, what's good about a hazy beer?
Hop BroIn simple terms, it's easy to bring out tropical aromas and a soft mouthfeel. Instead of pushing bitterness hard, it goes for a fruit-juice-like drinkability.
MugiI get it! Then what kind of beer is OKD's PLUM UME SAISON? Just hearing 'plum' makes me curious!
Hop BroIt's a saison made with plums from the Chita Peninsula, and the gentle tartness is great. It also won bronze at the JAPAN GREAT BEER AWARDS 2021, and it should fit really well as the weather gets hotter.
MugiWow, hearing about plum tartness instantly makes it feel like summer! And that expression, "self-service Daisen clan gathering," sounds almost too fun.
Hop BroExactly. Since Daisen G Beer's Scottish ale is on too, it's fun to compare the malt sweetness and toasty character of beers in the same lane. It's not flashy, but it's the kind that quietly tastes great.
MugiAnd if there's today's fresh fish and seafood sauté, then this is basically a win. It makes you want to try both the beer and the food one by one!
Hop BroGRILLMAN is a place where you can enjoy hamburgers at lunch and grilled dishes with beer at night, so drinking with the food is the right move. Today, I'd want to start with the hazy, move on to the plum saison, and finish with the Scottish ale.
MugiYeah, this is the kind of thing I want to toast right now! Sipping through the three beers with the seafood sauté would absolutely be delicious!
At Japan Craft Beer&Wine GRILLMAN in Nagoya's Nishiki district, guest beers newly tapped were announced alongside notice of the May 15, 3:00 p.m. opening.
The highlight of the day was first @bishu.brewing's "Wool and Ale hazy pale ale". It was introduced as a standard hazy pale ale that won silver at the International Beer Cup 2024, and it is a beer expected to deliver a juicy drinking experience.
Next was @okdkominkabrewing's "PLUM UME SAISON". This beer won bronze at the JAPAN GREAT BEER AWARDS 2021 and is a saison made with plums from the Chita Peninsula. With a gentle tartness, it is finished in a way that suits the warmer season ahead.
Also on tap was Daisen G Beer's Scottish ale. The post described it as a "self-service Daisen clan gathering," conveying the fun of comparing beers with a similar flavor profile side by side.
On the food side, a new menu item, "Today’s fresh fish and seafood sauté," also debuted. It features seafood sourced that day and sautéed fresh, making it a natural pairing with beer. GRILLMAN is the kind of beer pub where you can enjoy hamburgers at lunch and grilled dishes with craft beer at night, making it a place where you want to keep the glasses moving along with the meal.
From this post, it is clear that this was not just a simple announcement of new casks, but a lineup that paired the new seafood dish with three beers of distinct character: a hazy, a saison, and a Scottish ale. Craft beer fans will likely want to taste them in order while checking how each one matches the food.
