Hop BroOkayama’s CRAFT Rainbow posted its taps for July 1, and this five-beer lineup is genuinely well chosen.
MugiWait, a five-tap lineup? That’s exactly the kind of menu that makes me freeze and overthink everything!
Hop BroIt starts strong too: Shimanami Brewery’s Grapefruit Sour, which already sounds crisp and refreshing before the first sip.
MugiWhat is that supposed to mean? A sour beer style? I immediately pictured a lemon sour cocktail!
Hop BroFair question. In this case, a fruit-forward sour means a tart beer with bright citrus character, not a canned chuhai situation.
MugiOhhh, got it! Then Isekadoya Beer’s LushHopIPA sounds like a full-on hop parade.
Hop BroExactly. IPA is a style where hop character shines, so bitterness and aroma step forward and beer nerds suddenly start lecturing nearby.
MugiThat is both helpful and terrifying! And StarWatcher by WCB sounds less like a beer and more like someone narrating the night sky.
Hop BroThen you’ve also got Fermentary’s Gpepee, so the range goes from aroma-driven pours to something easygoing like Suntory draft.
MugiAnd the place is non-smoking inside with a separate smoking area, so even solo drinkers or women on their own can feel comfortable.
Hop BroIt’s in Nodayacho near Okayama Station too, and checking the daily taps there just makes me want a proper tasting round.
MugiI’m starting with the Grapefruit Sour for sure, but now I want the IPA too. This is making me want a beer immediately.
