Grau Craft beer bar in Fujimino taps Mugizakkokobo’s plum saison and BLACK TIDE
Grau Craft beer bar in Fujimino, Saitama, updated its tap list on August 1. The lineup is led by Mugizakkokobo’s seasonal plum saison, followed by beers from BLACK TIDE, Oni Densetsu, TAROS, INKHORN, and Kanpai!
Hop BroFujimino's Grau Craft beer bar updated its taps on August 1, and there's one pour that feels absolutely made for summer.
MugiWait, what is it? Made for summer already sounds like my glass is empty and demanding answers!
Hop BroThe headliner is Mugizakkoku Koubou's 彩:IRODORI Saison UME, a saison brewed with whole homegrown Japanese plums.
MugiSaison suddenly sounds super expert-level! A plum saison means what exactly, tart, sweet, mysterious, or all of the above?
Hop BroA saison is usually light and aromatic, and this one uses whole fruit in the brew, so you get a soft, fresh plum character on top.
MugiOhhh, so it's like a cousin of plum soda... okay, maybe that's a wildly unscientific tasting note?
Hop BroThe vibe is close, but it's still properly beer. And they also have BLACK TIDE's Kesennuma Pride ver. 12.2, an IPA that's almost gone.
MugiHold on, from crisp plum refreshment to punchy IPA? That tap range is basically an amusement park.
Hop BroThen you've got Oni Densetsu's pale ale, TAROS's Hazy IPA, INKHORN's Italian pilsner, and Kampai!'s imperial stout, which is a perfect summer lineup even when choosing gets impossible.
MugiAnd next up there's BLACK TIDE's unfiltered lager plus Kampai! x Grau's Naema-zaka Blueberry Sour? This place is manufacturing excuses to revisit.
Hop BroExactly. They're open 3 p.m. to 11 p.m., closed next week on August 3 and 4, and the fried chicken with yurinchi sauce is back, so I want to start with the plum saison today.
MugiThen we chase it with BLACK TIDE, add fried chicken, and maybe finish on stout... let's go to Fujimino now is really the only logical conclusion!
