Gotanda's The Grafton opens REPUBREW's Kaizoku LAGER guest tap, lines up 14 pours
The Grafton Beer Pub & Restaurant in Gotanda announced REPUBREW's opening-beer release for ANCHOR BURGER, Kaizoku LAGER, as a guest tap. The list also spans Guinness, Hoegaarden, Uchu Brewing and more.
Hop BroAt The Grafton Beer Pub & Restaurant in Gotanda, they just tapped REPUBREW's new-shop commemorative beer, Kaizoku LAGER on draft.
MugiWhat! And with Guinness, Hoegaarden, and Uchu Brewing all lined up, a 14-tap refresh sounds like total delicious chaos.
Hop BroHere's the thing, The Grafton is a pub since 1998, a long-running spot where you can watch sports downstairs and pair proper food with beer.
MugiOooh, but what does guest keg pour even mean? Is that like a special guest star for the tap list?
Hop BroPretty much, yeah. This REPUBREW release, Kaizoku LAGER Hoppy Lager, is all about crisp lager plus hop aroma, so it drinks clean but still pops.
MugiThat already sounds good! But then I saw Sankt Gallen YOKOHAMA XPA and Ikari Brewing with real ale on the list, and my brain slipped on a bar mat.
Hop BroReal ale basically gives you a softer natural carbonation and a rounder texture, because it finishes more gently in the cask instead of feeling super fizzy.
MugiSo the lineup goes from classic imports to Bluntrock, Uchu, and Smoke Craft? That is some wild tap range, and I mean that in the best way.
Hop BroExactly, and once you add oysters, bonito tataki salad, steak and ale pie, plus the secret-menu fresh hop fritters, leaving after one drink becomes fantasy.
MugiThen I'm settled, my first order is one Kaizoku LAGER. And you are absolutely ordering a real ale too, because now I want both of us drinking in Gotanda tonight.

The lineup runs from familiar imports to domestic craft names such as Sankt Gallen, Ikari Brewing, Bluntrock, Uchu Brewing, Smoke Craft, and REPUBREW, so the range covers easy-drinking classics, cask-style pours, and hop-forward options.
The food side is just as pub-friendly: fresh oysters from Iwate's Ofunato, bonito tataki salad, steak & ale pie, chicken gizzard ajillo, buffalo wings, trofie with swordfish and pesto genovese, and premium Noto beef curry were all listed, along with a hidden fresh-hop fritter. For beer drinkers in Gotanda, it's the kind of place worth keeping on your radar.
