Grau Craft Beer Bar in Fujimino highlights TAROS ACRUX#2 and 10 taps
Grau Craft beer bar in Fujimino, Saitama, shared its July 26 tap list with TAROS's Hazy IPA ACRUX#2 leading the lineup. Six beers are on draft, with another four listed as next up.
Hop BroToday's Grau tap update is a good one. For July 26, they're centering the list on TAROS ACRUX#2 and guiding people through 10 beers total.
MugiWhat! Ten beers total? They said it'd be a chill rainy-day service, but this is a serious decision-making crisis!
Hop BroRight now there are six beers on tap, and the most-drunk beer yesterday was TAROS's Hazy IPA, ACRUX#2. The other four are waiting in NEXT TAP.
MugiWait, what even is a Hazy IPA? It sounds cloudy enough to need weather radar.
Hop BroNothing scary there, it just means juicy but easygoing. ACRUX#2 layers Sauvignon Blanc-like notes with grapefruit, peach, guava, plus mango and pineapple, then finishes light.
MugiWhoa, that's basically a tropical fruit parade. If the ABV is low too, that sounds dangerously pintable!
Hop BroExactly, the fun kind of dangerous. And INKHORN's Flocking 2026 #2 is an Italian Pilsner, which is a crisp pilsner boosted with hop aroma and a sharp, satisfying bitterness.
MugiBeer styles have passports now? So that pilsner snap basically means it goes down way too smoothly?
Hop BroThat's a good shortcut: light but aromatic. The lineup also swings from BLACK TIDE's IPA and Oni Densetsu's pale ale to Kampai!'s imperial stout and KYOTO's Berliner Weisse with pomegranate and lime.
MugiHold on, the last-day food menu is stacked too? Shiso-scented shrimp and chicken spring rolls, somen champuru, and century egg tofu is unfair.
Hop BroAnd they're open until 10 p.m., then closed on July 27 and 28. If you're going to do a tasting run, July 26 is the day.
MugiThen it's settled! Toast with ACRUX#2, grab the spring rolls, and finish with the pilsner or the Berliner Weisse!
