Grau Craft beer bar opens six taps led by Onidensetsu’s Kinki Rock Ver. II
Grau Craft beer bar in Fujimino, Saitama, has reopened from August 19 with six beers on tap. The lineup is led by Onidensetsu’s Kinki Rock Ver. II, alongside pours from INKHORN, GROUNDTAP, Yokohama Bay Brewing, and more.
Hop BroBig news today: Grau Craft beer bar in Fujimino reopened on August 19, pouring six mostly domestic taps from 5 to 11 p.m.
MugiWhat, six fresh taps right after reopening? That's a full-on party. Which one is the headliner?
Hop BroThe star is Kinoni Rock Ver. II from Oni Densetsu, a YUYA BOYS collaboration brewed for Fuji Rock, and it's a Pale Ale.
MugiWait, what is Pale Ale exactly? I keep hearing it and nodding like I understand, but I absolutely do not.
Hop BroIn simple terms, it's an easygoing ale with a lighter feel, and this one uses Simcoe and KRUSH hops for citrusy, peach-like aroma.
MugiNo way, Simcoe and KRUSH sounds like a festival side-stage act. I can already hear the crowd screaming.
Hop BroThat's the charm, because citrus and peach notes show up first, then a moderate bitterness lands after, so it stays super drinkable in hot weather.
MugiAnd they also have INKHORN's Java Finch 2026 #3, Postsourism #6, GROUNDTAP's IKARU, and Yokohama Bay Brewing's Tag Lager? That's stacked.
Hop BroIt gets better with three-beer tasting flights, plus spice curry, smoked snacks, and fries, so it's the kind of place where you settle in for a few rounds.
MugiAnd next up is TOTOPIA's Luckphobia and VERTERE's Iris, right? If the taps rotate fast, I want to go immediately.
Hop BroExactly, because the must-try beers won't wait around, and I want to start with Kinoni Rock Ver. II before deciding what to chase next.
MugiDone, then. I want at least three pours, some curry on the side, and your running commentary while we drink.
