GROW BREW HOUSE guides 6 taps: Against Day, NK.GOLD, and more
The brewpub GROW BREW HOUSE in Nishikawaguchi shared its latest tap list on Instagram. Six house-brewed beers, including Against Day, NK.GOLD, and R122, are on tap, along with information on the Niku no Hi hamburger and upcoming events.
Hop BroThe Nishikawaguchi GROW BREW HOUSE updated its tap list on Instagram. This time it includes Against Day, NK.GOLD, and R122, and it’s the kind of lineup that makes your throat react just from looking at it.
MugiWhoa, six beers lined up? And every name sounds so cool that I’d already be lost the moment I looked at the menu!
Hop BroFirst, Against Day is a Dark Lager, and NK.GOLD is a Helles. Think of lagers as crisp and clean, while Dark Lager has more depth and Helles is light and easygoing, making it great with food.
MugiHuh? But what is Helles? It feels like a German class just started out of nowhere!
Hop BroHelles is a pale lager, and it’s easy to drink because the bitterness isn’t too strong. That’s why starting with the full-bodied Against Day and then shifting to the smoother NK.GOLD makes it a great first-drink sequence.
MugiI see! So R122 and Luciole are basically the flavor-change segment? Just hearing those names makes me want to drink them in order!
Hop BroExactly. R122 is an IPA with strong hop character, while Luciole is a Sake Brut Ale, Pottering is a Saison, and Nishikawa Orange is a Sour Ale. The lineup broadens in individuality the further you go.
MugiWait, what is a Sake Brut Ale!? That sounds like alcohol turned into beer and then back into alcohol!
Hop BroSimply put, it’s a beer that brings in sake-like nuances and finishes clean and crisp. That’s what makes GROW BREW HOUSE fun: you can enjoy the full range of its brewing style as it is.
MugiAnd it even has a Niku no Hi hamburger? That’s almost unfair! Beer alone is dangerous enough, but if you say hand-chopped meat, my stomach has already lost!
Hop BroOn top of that, the brewery’s event appearances keep coming in June too. It’s heading to Living Loop in Ikebukuro and the First Amena Festival, so GROW BREW HOUSE’s momentum doesn’t stop inside the taproom or outside it.
MugiI can’t do this anymore, I want to drink right now! Just imagining attacking Against Day with a burger in Nishikawaguchi, or starting smoothly with NK.GOLD, is already too happy!
A “today’s beer” moment in Nishikawaguchi
The brewpub GROW BREW HOUSE in Nishikawaguchi, Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture, updated its tap list on Instagram. The post begins with the line, “Today is BBBB. It’s 4B,” and suggests spending the day enjoying burgers and beer together.
The lineup this time consists of six beers: Against Day (Dark Lager), NK.GOLD (Helles), R122 (IPA), Luciole (Sake Brut Ale), Pottering (Saison), and Nishikawa Orange (Sour Ale). From lager to IPA, saison, and sour, the selection spans a wide range, reflecting the full breadth of the brewery’s output.
In particular, the combination of the Dark Lager Against Day, which suggests a robust drinking experience, and NK.GOLD, which seems like it would go down easily, works well both as a first drink and as a beer to enjoy with a meal. If you move from the hop-forward R122 to Luciole’s Sake Brut Ale, then Pottering’s Saison, and finally Nishikawa Orange’s Sour Ale, you can enjoy the full spectrum of flavors.
In addition to beer, the post also announced the “Niku no Hi hamburger” on May 29 and 30. The idea is to enjoy a burger made with hand-chopped meat together with beer. It also mentioned the Ikebukuro Living Loop appearance on June 6 and the “First Amena Festival” from June 9 to 12 (13th), showing that the brewery is active not only in-house but also through event appearances and themed projects.
GROW BREW HOUSE is known as a “local craft beer brewery” that serves house-brewed beer in Nishikawaguchi. This tap list was a very brewpub-like selection, where you can simply choose the beer you want to drink right then and there.
