Hop BroCRAFT Rainbow in Nodayacho, Kita Ward, Okayama City, posted today’s tap lineup on Instagram. And today’s lineup runs from fruit-forward sours to lagers, which is a pairing that makes you itch to drink just looking at it.
MugiWhat, there are five beers lined up? With that many on tap, I’d get lost the moment I saw the menu!
Hop BroThe first thing that stands out is Shimanami Brewery’s Draft Sour Grapefruit. As the name suggests, it’s a style that brings forward grapefruit acidity and aroma, the kind that wakes up your palate.
MugiSo a sour means a sour beer? Huh, it’s beer, but sour? It’s kind of hard to picture since it sounds a bit like juice.
Hop BroExactly, it’s a style meant to be enjoyed for its acidity. The post also lists it in English as Grapefruits Sour, which is nice because you can tell the style at a glance.
MugiWow, and there’s even a Minamichita Blood Orange IPA! When I hear IPA, I brace myself because it sounds bitter...
Hop BroIPAs are all about hop aroma and bitterness, but when blood orange is added, the citrus brightness makes it easier to drink. And moonrise’s Evening Moon is a pale ale, 3tree’s Marukobu is a saison, and with Sapporo Classic in the lager category, today’s range is really broad.
MugiWhat is this, a full-blown style festival! Pale ale, saison, lager... it’s like a beer culture fair, and it sounds fun!
Hop BroAnd CRAFT Rainbow is open from 5:00 p.m. to midnight, with notes saying it’s a non-smoking venue but has a smoking area. It’s within walking distance from Okayama Station’s east exit, so it’s the kind of place where you can just drop in for a quick drink.
MugiIf it’s easy to go in alone, that’s reassuring. A place where you can follow the day’s draft lineup feels like somewhere I’d want to keep going back to!
Hop BroExactly. This post is the kind that neatly shows what you can drink right now. Today, I’m already feeling like doing a draft-beer tour in Okayama.
MugiMe too! I’m in the mood to compare everything from sour to lager today, and if I went to CRAFT Rainbow, I’d definitely end up being torn, but that sounds fun too!
