Grau Craft beer bar introduces six kegs, including NARA's "UNDERWATER:LUMINOUS"
Grau Craft beer bar in Fujimino City, Saitama Prefecture, has released its latest tap list. Along with the CRANC × Grau and NAMACHAん × Grau collaboration kegs, a diverse lineup featuring BLACK TIDE, BREWCCOLY, NARA, and more is on offer, with CAMADO waiting in the next tap slot.
Hop BroThe tap list at Grau Craft beer bar in Fujimino is seriously bold this time. With CRANC × Grau, NAMACHAん × Grau, and even NARA on the list, it is the kind of lineup that makes you want to start comparing beers the moment you see it.
MugiWait, six characterful kegs!? Just reading the names is already overwhelming, and it is all collaboration beers too - that is amazing!
Hop BroExactly. The first one, 99.9 ver.2, is a Double IPA, so you can expect a strong hop presence. The following Re:NAMAGrauzy is a Hazy IPA, so it should also bring that soft, juicy aroma.
MugiHow are a Double IPA and a Hazy IPA different from each other? I usually just judge the label by how intense it looks!
Hop BroBroadly speaking, a Double IPA has stronger bitterness and body, while a Hazy IPA is known for its haze and juiciness. In this lineup, the direction of the aroma is different for each one, which makes the comparisons fun.
MugiOhhh! So BLACK TIDE's Days Over ver.9.0 is an unfiltered lager, right? A lager that is cloudy feels a little unfair!
Hop BroThat is what makes it interesting. BLACK TIDE's Unfiltered Lager has a bit more depth on top of its crisp finish, so it goes down easy without being one-note.
MugiA beer made with sake yeast like NARA's UNDERWATER:LUMINOUS sounds kind of Japanese sake-like, right? Apple and ramune - this is turning into a very crowded beverage meeting!
Hop BroYeah, it keeps the ginjo aroma restrained and layers in a flavor with watermelon-like freshness plus honeyed apple and a ramune-like character. The point is that it is not just sweet; the acidity and carbonation make it easy to keep drinking.
MugiIf CAMADO's THE DANK LOVERS is waiting at the end, then tonight's drink is already decided. From Double IPAs to sake-yeast beers, it is a lineup that makes you want to go bar hopping!
Hop BroExactly. Tonight's tasting is going to be a lot of fun. If the two of us go to Grau, we'll probably start getting hungry just thinking about the order.
MugiI am completely in the mood to drink now! I want to start with the Hazy, then move to the lager, and finish with the sake-yeast beer!
