GROW BREW HOUSE updates its 6 self-brewed taps in Nishikawaguchi, continues service on Keyaki Hiroba festival days
The brewpub GROW BREW HOUSE in Nishikawaguchi, Saitama, introduced six self-brewed taps. Its lineup ranges from Milk Shake IPA to Helles, Saison, and Sour Ale, and it also said it will keep operating on the days of the Keyaki Hiroba Beer Festival.
Hop BroToday, GROW BREW HOUSE in Nishikawaguchi is the interesting one. Even on the day of the Keyaki Hiroba Beer Festival, they’re staying open and pouring six self-brewed taps.
MugiWhat! Staying open even on event day is almost too reassuring, right? Stopping by after bar-hopping sounds amazing!
Hop BroThe focus that day is Milk Shake IPA, and the rest includes Helles, IPA, Saison, and Sour Ale too.
MugiWhat is that! Is Milk Shake IPA sweet? The name has me all mixed up, because it’s beer but it has milk in it!
Hop BroIt can give the impression of sweetness, but the goal is really a fuller mouthfeel. They often use lactose-derived richness to let the aroma float on top.
MugiOhhh! So with Helles and IPA, you can go back and forth between light, crisp drinkability and something that hits hard!
Hop BroExactly. The strength is being able to start with the lager-leaning Helles, push with the 8.5% R122 IPA, then switch up the flavor with Saison or Sour Ale at the end.
MugiAnd Sour Ale at the end is that one that makes your mouth pucker, right? It already feels like a strange final push before dessert!
Hop BroOn top of that, the shop also has daily snacks, guest chef projects, and even record swap sales, so there’s plenty to enjoy beyond beer.
MugiWow, that sounds so good! It’s perfect for a day of drinking slowly in the neighborhood, and now I already feel like having another one!
Hop BroRight? It’s the kind of place where you start with one drink in Nishikawaguchi and before you know it, you’re choosing a second one.
MugiExactly! I’m in the mood to drink right now, so I want to chase them all, starting with the Helles!
Six taps on offer in Nishikawaguchi
GROW BREW HOUSE in Nishikawaguchi, Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture, is a brewpub where you can enjoy self-brewed craft beer.

That day’s lineup covered a wide range, from satisfying IPA styles to lager-leaning Helles, Saison, and Sour Ale. One of the things that feels especially true to this place is that you can use it as a spot to settle back in with a drink in a quiet interior after bar-hopping at the event venue.

As its name suggests, GROW BREW HOUSE is known as a relaxed brewpub with a feel that seems to value “growth” without being overly formal. Its location is within walking distance of Nishikawaguchi Station, and another draw is being able to look over the taps and choose according to your mood that day. In addition, the shop offers more than just beer, including rotating daily snacks, guest chef projects mentioned in the post, record swap sales, and hamburger events.
The post also mentioned coverage in Kodansha’s Otona no Shumatsu, further increasing the shop’s presence as a local fixture. Separate from the flow of the big Keyaki Hiroba event, it was the kind of business content suited to a day when you want to drink slowly and seriously at a neighborhood spot that quietly builds up its everyday pours.
