Hop BroThe guest drafts at The Grafton Beer Pub & Restaurant in Gotanda for April 10 are pretty interesting.
MugiWait, eight labels from the UK, the U.S., and Japan all at once?
Hop BroExactly. From Shureshot's "Shh..!t's Just Magic Dry Stout" to Sheppy's "200 Cider," you can enjoy British styles and domestic brews on the same day.
MugiHold on, Dry Stout and Hazy IPA and all that - the names alone are making my head spin!
Hop BroIn broad terms, Dry Stout is a black beer with sharp bitterness and roast character, while Hazy IPA is a hazy style with strong hop aroma. It is about the balance between aroma-forward and easy drinking.
MugiI get it! Then HUMANS BEER's SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER Hazy IPA sounds like it would really lift the mood!
Hop BroAnd there is also TEENAGE BREWING's "SHOHEI Zen Persimmon DIPA" and HANSHARO BEER's "Osakeman IPA Belgian IPA," so you can also enjoy the contrast between DIPA and Belgian IPA.
MugiWhat is that even? A persimmon DIPA too? That is pretty bold, isn't it?
Hop BroIt really is bold. On top of that, there is KAKEGAWA BEER's "Apéritif Pils" and HUMANS BEER's "GUAVA & MANGO Fruit Beer," so it is fun that you can move across pilsner to fruit beer.
MugiAnd if they have tasting sizes too, then you can sample a bunch of different beers little by little - that's the best!
Hop BroExactly. If you can drink Guinness, real ale, and more in a true pub atmosphere that is easy to reach from Gotanda Station or Osaki-Hirokoji Station, it makes you want to go right now.
MugiYeah, today is definitely a more than one-drink kind of night. I really want to do a tasting crawl in Gotanda!
