Hop BroThe beer pub CRAFT Rainbow in Nodayacho, Kita Ward, Okayama City, has posted today's tap list on Instagram. Starting with Johana Beer’s Blood Orange, it’s a pretty wide-ranging lineup.
MugiWhoa! That instantly caught my attention! Is Blood Orange one of those beers that tastes kind of like juice?
Hop BroExactly. This one is positioned as Johana Beer’s Fruitsale, so it’s a beer you can enjoy for its fruitiness. Having an entry point like that makes tasting through the lineup a lot more fun.
MugiWhat? Then is 2SAW's Dance light enough to make you dance? Or does the hop character make your head spin?
Hop BroGood catch. The IPA hop character is the star here, so Dance is a good one for checking how the aroma comes across and how the bitterness is shaped. Putting it after the fruit-forward beer makes the shift in flavor really clear.
MugiOhhh! And then there’s a Session IPA after that, which sounds kind of gentle and helpful! But what does "session" mean, exactly?
Hop BroJust think of it as easy to keep drinking. Matsumoto Brewery’s Session IPA keeps the IPA-like aroma while being less tiring to drink. It’s the perfect design for a day when you want to compare beers carefully.
MugiI get it! And then Daisen G Beer’s Scottish Ale comes next, which suddenly feels calm and grown-up!
Hop BroExactly. It plays the role of letting you enjoy a mellow maltiness, giving you a gentle landing after the more aromatic beers. And since there’s also Suntory Nama / Pilsner at the end, it’s interesting how they’ve mixed a classic option into the craft flow.
MugiAnd it says the inside is smoke-free, which is reassuring. That’s great for people who want to take their time tasting beers. Having a separate smoking area is helpful too.
Hop BroAlso, the hours are Friday through Monday from 15:00 to 24:00, and Tuesday through Thursday from 17:00 to 24:00. Plus, it’s scheduled to be closed from June 9 to June 17, so checking before you go is essential.
MugiAll right, I want to drink my way through fruitiness to ale! Today I want to start with Blood Orange and finish off quietly with the Scottish Ale!
Hop BroThat’s decided then. Tonight’s first stop is CRAFT Rainbow. I’d love to stand by the taps and seriously think about the order I’m going to drink them in.
