Hop BroA Friday tap update has landed in the basement of Gotanda. Yellow Beer Works' "MILK&" has been tapped at The Grafton Beer Pub & Restaurant.
MugiWhoa, even the name "MILK&" is intriguing! Does it have milk in it? Is it sweet? It gives off a weirdly cutesy drink vibe!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. It has Yellow Beer Works' playful spirit, but it still has a clear beer backbone. The whole tap list is impressive too, with Guinness, Hoegaarden, and Uchu Brewing's "Galactic Path" all on offer.
MugiWow, that's a lot of information! From Guinness to outer space in one go? What's happening in the basement of Gotanda? Isn't that flavor range like a roller coaster?
Hop BroThat's exactly the appeal. The range of flavors is huge. With stout, real ale, cider, and lager all available on the same day, you can pick whatever fits your mood, from something easygoing to something you want to savor.
MugiWhat even is real ale? Just hearing "real ale" makes it sound like some kind of training arc! What's different from regular ale?
Hop BroIn simple terms, it's a style you enjoy for its natural cask-conditioned character. Beers like Sanktgallen's "Yokohama XPA Real Ale" and Ikari Brewing's brown-style beers tend to bring out malty aroma, so they're easy to pair with food.
MugiI see! So the snacks matter too. Having fresh oysters and pork katsu curry at the same place is way too luxurious for a pub!
Hop BroExactly. The Special Food menu is strong too. Since it covers everything from seafood to warm dishes, it's easy to pair with a pint like MILK&, or with stout and cider as well.
MugiAnd they're taking reservations for welcome parties, farewell parties, and private events too, right? If banquets are okay, it makes you want to organize a tasting with everyone!
Hop BroYep, if you want to take your time enjoying draft beer in Gotanda, this is a very strong option. I'm already in the mood to do a tasting now.
MugiSame here! I want to get drawn into the basement of Gotanda and work my way through MILK& all the way to stout in order!
