GROW BREW HOUSE, a brewpub in Kawaguchi, Saitama, posted a tap list on Instagram on August 12. The lineup features six house beers, along with notices for late-summer in-house events.
Hop BroGROW BREW HOUSE in Nishikawaguchi dropped a six-beer tap list on August 12, and it is a very solid lineup of house-made brews.
MugiWait, Against Day is a Dark Lager, right? If it is dark and still easy-drinking, that feels mildly illegal!
Hop BroThat is the charm of a Dark Lager at 5%: you get roasted malt notes, but lager yeast keeps the finish surprisingly clean.
MugiOoh, okay, but Dry Hopped Pils sounds weird. Are they drying the beer like laundry now?
Hop BroNot that kind of dry. Dry hopping means adding hops later for aroma, so "Yukiai" should come off extra crisp and fragrant.
MugiGot it! And POTTERING at 6% is a Saison while 17AVE is an American Rye Ale, so this tap list has serious range.
Hop BroExactly, and Luna Phase 6.5% is a Black IPA, which means dark malt character plus firm hop bitterness in one glass.
MugiA black beer that still fights back, amazing. Then Aid at 3% being a Fruits Ale sounds like the cheerful victory lap.
Hop BroAnd the place itself matters too: it is a brewpub with a chef-brewer, so the beer and food pairing angle is built in.
MugiIt is also within walking distance of the station, and that bring-your-own flexibility feels very welcoming for a casual beer stop.
Hop BroThen they stacked on Audio Jack on August 15 and 16, kushikatsu dates on August 21 to 23, and even nagashi somen on the 29th, so the late-summer events are doing a lot of work here.
MugiAt that point I am sold. With weekday opening at 5 p.m. and weekends from 3 p.m., I want a full six-beer flight and a train ride to Nishikawaguchi immediately.
