The Grafton Beer Pub & Restaurant posts 25:00 England vs. Congo screening with 14 taps
On July 1, The Grafton Beer Pub & Restaurant in Gotanda announced a 25:00 screening of the World Cup knockout match England vs. Congo, alongside a 14-tap lineup that spans Guinness, Hoegaarden, Magners Cider and Japanese craft beers.
Hop BroGotanda’s basement is looking very lively tonight. The Grafton Beer Pub posted on July 1 that it’ll screen England vs. Congo at 25:00, with 14 beers on tap.
MugiWait, a 25:00 kickoff? That’s already a midnight chaos schedule! Add 14 taps and I’m not sleeping at all.
Hop BroAnd the lineup is strong. From classics to Japanese craft, they’ve got Guinness, Hoegaarden, Pilsner Urquell, plus St. Gallen’s YOKOHAMA XPA Real Ale, Uchu Brewing’s MONOLITH, and Black Tide’s Second Breath.
MugiWhat is that? Real ale and XPA suddenly sound like spell names. Am I ordering beer or joining a wizard guild?
Hop BroLet’s simplify it. In plain terms, XPA is a pale, hop-forward, easy-drinking ale, and real ale is served with softer natural carbonation, so it feels smoother and gentler in the glass.
MugiOhhh, nice! So I can start easy, then move into the red and brown styles later. That sounds perfect for comparisons.
Hop BroExactly. Ikari Brewing’s Irish Red and Scottish Brown Real Ale, COEDO’s Marihana, plus Magners Cider and Kaneshige’s RICKEY mean lager, ale, and cider are all in the same lineup.
MugiThat bench is absurdly deep! And the food has oysters, steak and kidney pie, burgers, and curry, so the British pub menu is showing off too.
Hop BroThe timing is smart, too. After 23:45 it goes one-person service and the food shifts to bar snacks, so the game plan is obvious: eat properly before the match, then snack and drink through the late hours.
MugiI’m fully sold. Pie before kickoff, then a full tap tour after that. I want a pint right now, and honestly I’m ready to drink through extra time.
The Grafton Beer Pub & Restaurant, a basement beer pub in Gotanda, posted on July 1 that it will screen the World Cup knockout round match England vs. Congo at 25:00. It also noted that after 23:45 it will be running one person, so the food menu will be limited to bar-time snacks.
