CRAFT Rainbow in Okayama highlights 2SAW Dance and local tap list
CRAFT Rainbow, a beer pub in Okayama’s Nodayacho district, posted its tap list on June 5. The lineup includes Dance from 2SAW, Session IPA from Matsumoto Brewery, Daisen G Beer’s Scottish Ale, plus sake and shochu, with indoor non-smoking seating and a smoking area.
Hop BroToday’s CRAFT Rainbow tap list looks seriously strong. They’ve got Tokushima IPA 2SAW’s Dance, Matsumoto Brewery’s Session IPA, Daisen G Beer’s Scottish Ale, and even Suntory draft.
MugiWhat! So it’s basically a three-region tasting flight? Tokushima, Nagano, and Tottori all holding a summit in one glass!
Hop BroExactly, and with IPA, Session IPA, and Scottish Ale all lined up, the style comparison pops right away. If you like drinking side by side, this is a fun setup.
MugiHold on, what is Session IPA? It sounds like an IPA you drink quietly in a meeting room, which is a little terrifying.
Hop BroIf it were, HR would shut that down fast. A Session IPA keeps the hop aroma but stays lighter in alcohol, so it’s easy to keep drinking without getting overwhelmed.
MugiOhh, so Matsumoto Brewery’s Session IPA feels beginner-friendly? Even someone still new to craft beer like me could keep up.
Hop BroDefinitely. And Daisen G Beer’s Scottish Ale leans more on malt, with a caramel-like sweetness, so alternating it with an IPA really shows off the difference in personality.
MugiWhat is that! 'Malt-forward' talk just turned you into a beer TV commentator. So you mean less sharp bitterness, more rounded sweetness?
Hop BroThat’s basically it. CRAFT Rainbow also opens at 3 p.m. from Friday to Monday, carries sake and shochu too, and it’s non-smoking inside, with a separate smoking area.
MugiThat helps a lot! Around Okayama Station, getting that much variety in one stop is great, and they’re closed from June 9 to June 17, so this weekend is the move. Now I really want to start with 2SAW’s Dance!
