Hop BroThe third installment of the 5th anniversary event is happening at Grau Craft beer bar in Fujimino, Saitama Prefecture on Saturday, April 18. They're tapping CAMADO's anniversary beer, doing a tap takeover, and even bringing in food from Suzunoya, so this is pretty hot stuff.
MugiWhoa, CAMADO's anniversary beer? Just hearing the word anniversary makes it feel celebratory, and they're even tapping it? I'm excited already!
Hop BroA tap takeover is basically when one brewery takes over the taps all at once. The kegs at the shop shift toward CAMADO and related beers, so tasting side by side gets way more fun. And the representative is expected to show up around 3 p.m., with a Q&A session and even a rock-paper-scissors tournament.
MugiThat sounds way too fun! And the tap lineup is packed too. 99.9 ver.2, Re:NAMAGrauzy, those names alone sound intense!
Hop BroExactly, and if you look at the styles, it's a traffic jam of character. Double IPA, Hazy IPA, Unfiltered Lager, Dark Mild Ale, and Sake Yeast Beer are all lined up, so it spans everything from aroma-heavy to easy-drinking. It's going to feel like a craft beer showcase night.
MugiWait, Double IPA and Hazy IPA? The names alone are making my head float...! Are the differences really that big?
Hop BroThey are. Double IPA tends to bring stronger hop presence and a deeper bitterness and body, while Hazy IPA is all about haze and juiciness. This first collaboration with CAMADO is a West Coast IPA, so you can expect a sharp bitterness and citrusy aroma.
MugiOhhh! But the "lighting the flame" ceremony in the post feels unusually ritual-like. Beer can be that dramatic?
Hop BroThat's part of the fun. It's a way to build up the moment when the anniversary beer is opened, and it really pushes CAMADO's worldview to the front. Plus, since they plan to drain the existing taps by April 17, there's even a chance of early tapping depending on how things go.
MugiSo on the day, we can enjoy both the beer and the food while comparing them side by side! Doing a tasting festival at Grau Craft beer bar and then settling in with Suzunoya's food sounds amazing!
Hop BroExactly. Shops that keep building these kinds of local collaborations are strong, and this time too it's shaping up to be a night full of craft love at Grau. Just talking about it is making my throat react already.
MugiI'm totally thirsty now too...! I just want to go and drink already. On April 18, let's toast while looking at the lineup together!
The beer pub Grau Craft beer bar in Fujimino, Saitama Prefecture, will hold the third installment of its 5th anniversary event on Saturday, April 18. An Instagram post announced the tapping of CAMADO's anniversary beer, a tap takeover, and food service by Suzunoya.
For this collaboration, the beer highlighted as CAMADO's first pairing with Grau is a West Coast IPA. The post also mentions a "lighting the flame" ceremony, suggesting a strong focus on the style. CAMADO's representative is scheduled to visit around 3:00 p.m., and there will also be a Q&A session and a rock-paper-scissors tournament on the day.
The shop also shared the current tap lineup just before the event. The beers announced at this point are as follows.
- 99.9 ver.2 / CRANC × Grau (Double IPA)
- Re:NAMAGrauzy / NAMACHAん × Grau (Hazy IPA)
- Days Over ver.9.0 / BLACK TIDE (Unfiltered Lager)
- Gekizaka Dark Mild Ale / Kanpai! × MATSUMOTO (Dark Mild Ale)
- UNDERWATER:LUMINOUS / NARA (Sake Yeast Beer)
The post says the existing taps need to be cleared by April 17, and depending on the situation, there may be a chance to tap beers for the TTO ahead of the anniversary collaboration beers. Grau Craft beer bar continues to operate locally with craft beer at its core, and once again it is putting together an event that pairs collaboration beer with food.
On the day of the event, the lineup will likely feature CAMADO's anniversary beer alongside Grau collaborations and the distinct character of each brewery. Whether for regulars who already drink there or first-time visitors, it looks like an event where people can enjoy comparing the lineup.
