Gotanda THE GRAFTON to Screen the U-20 Women's Asian Cup and Update the Taps on April 8
The Grafton Beer Pub & Restaurant in Nishi-Gotanda, Tokyo, has released its April 8 business update and today's draft lineup. The projector is back, and from 18:00 it will screen the AFC U-20 Women's Asian Cup match between Japan and Australia.
Hop BroThe Grafton Beer Pub & Restaurant down in the basement in Gotanda is looking pretty heated on April 8. The projector is back, and they're saying they'll screen the Japan vs. Australia match from 18:00.
MugiWait, you can watch soccer at a beer pub!? And the projector is back too? That sounds seriously event-like!
Hop BroAnd the thing is, it's not just a viewing party. The Today's Craft Beer & Cider on Taps lineup is seriously packed. You've got classics like Guinness and Heineken, plus McDermott's Cider, so it's built to welcome all kinds of drinkers from the start.
MugiHuh, real ale and XPA sound kind of intense... what's actually different about them?
Hop BroGood question. Sankt Gallen YOKOHAMA XPA is the kind of style where hop aroma really stands out, while real ale has that appeal of flavor maturing naturally in the cask. In other words, it's a lineup where you can enjoy both flair and calm depth.
MugiOhhh! And having two Ikari Brewing beers too shows they're serious. The reddish one and the brown one would be amazing to compare side by side!
Hop BroExactly. Scottish Brown Real Ale is the kind that brings malt sweetness and toasty aroma in a slow, steady way. If you add something bright like Coedo Brewery Touka, the whole table suddenly feels lively.
MugiWhat is that, it's basically a draft lineup that feels like a world tour! They even have overseas beers, so it might feel less like looking at a beer shelf and more like staring at a globe.
Hop BroThat's exactly it. With overseas picks like Shh... It's Just Magic and Pale Be Back, plus domestic IPAs like Osake-man IPA and SHOHEI Zen IPA, you can easily spend a while deciding what to drink before kickoff.
MugiAnd the food is sneaky too! If they've got steak & kidney pie, fresh oysters, and pork offal stew curry, that's the kind of menu that keeps the beer flowing.
Hop BroThat's the Grafton appeal: being able to enjoy food, watching the match, and a drink all in one place in Gotanda. All right, Mugi-chan, today let's cheer on Japan while seriously debating real ale or IPA.
MugiYeah, I've decided! I want to cheer with a toast in front of the projector, and I might start with cider. Hop-nii, let's keep our throats ready today!
