Gotanda's THE GRAFTON, Guinness and Uchu ALE on the May 11 tap list
The Grafton Beer Pub & Restaurant, a beer pub in Gotanda, has announced its draft lineup for May 11. Alongside Guinness and Hoegaarden, the selection spans domestic and international labels, from Sankt Gallen, Ikari Brewing, and COEDO to Uchu Brewing and Yellow Beer Works.
Hop BroThe Grafton Beer Pub & Restaurant in Gotanda has put out its tap list for May 11. From Guinness to Uchu ALE, this is the kind of lineup that really gets the heart racing.
MugiWait, from Guinness to Uchu ALE? That's a huge swing! And it's a beer pub, but somehow it has gone all the way into space!
Hop BroThat's what makes it fun. When overseas staples and distinctive domestic beers line up together, you can go on a tasting journey in one place. They've got Guinness, Hoegaarden, and Heineken, plus Sankt Gallen and COEDO too.
MugiWhat? What's real ale? Suddenly a fancy term popped up, and I have no idea how it's different from regular beer!
Hop BroGood question. Real ale is the kind that naturally ferments in the cask, and it's often less aggressively carbonated, with a softer aroma and mouthfeel. That's the appeal you can see in Sankt Gallen's YOKOHAMA XPA and Ikari Brewing's British-influenced recipes.
MugiOhhh! So the two Ikari Brewing beers let you enjoy a British-style atmosphere, huh. Scottish Brown just sounds rich and delicious already!
Hop BroExactly. And since they've got everything from dark beers to IPAs, you can build a tasting sequence like: go heavy with Guinness and Marble Stout, get plenty of hops with O'Hara's 51st State IPA, then finish crisp with Pilsner Urquell.
MugiWhoa, that's a total tasting trap! The kind where your palate gets confused and you end up not knowing what you even liked at the end!
Hop BroBut that's the fun of it. And the place is a beer pub founded in 1998, with an atmosphere that fits its UK-and-Ireland vibe. It has tables and sofas too, so it's a relaxed place to stop in.
MugiAnd the food is strong too, which is unfair! If they've got fresh oysters, sausage rolls, and ham cutlet burgers, there's no way I'd be able to leave after just beer!
Hop BroIn the end, it's all about a drink in Gotanda. The Guinness scratch lottery is intriguing too, and today makes me want to taste everything, both dark and bright.
MugiYeah, I totally want to go tonight! Adventure with Uchu ALE, settle down with Guinness, and then say you want just one more!

In particular, Sankt Gallen's real ale, Ikari Brewing's British-influenced recipes, and Japanese brews such as Uchu ALE and MILK & Milk Smoothie Sour Ale are labels beer lovers will want to check out.
As a beer pub founded in 1998, the venue is characterized by an easy-to-use setup with an atmosphere reminiscent of the UK and Ireland, plus tables, sofas, and a counter. It also caters to sports viewing on a large screen, has foreign staff on site, and charges no table fee, making it an easy place to drop by without any fuss.
In that day's post, it also mentioned that the remaining Guinness scratch lottery tickets were running low, along with food items such as fresh oysters, sausage roll & chips, ham cutlet burger, and tarako cream spaghettoni.
