GROW BREW HOUSE updates its summer tap list in Nishikawaguchi
GROW BREW HOUSE, a brewpub in Nishikawaguchi, Saitama, has published its summer tap list. The lineup includes six house beers such as Dark Lager, Black IPA, and Fruits Ale, alongside a public brew day and lunch service plans.
Hop BroGROW BREW HOUSE in Nishi-Kawaguchi has a really strong one this time. Their summer tap list brings out six house-brewed beers at once.
MugiWhat! In Nishi-Kawaguchi? Six house brews sounds like a tiny beer festival already!
Hop BroThe lineup has range. Against Day is a Dark Lager, POTTERING is a Saison, and Yukiai is a Dry Hopped Pils, so the tasting flight would be genuinely fun.
MugiHold on, Dry Hopped Pils? What is that even supposed to be? A pilsner with extra hop swagger?
Hop BroExactly. Dry hopping means adding hops after fermentation to boost aroma, so instead of just getting more bitterness, you get sharper hop aroma in the glass.
MugiOhhh, nice! So Yukiai sounds perfect for summer then. It is basically a cool breeze beer.
Hop BroAnd then you still have 17AVE, an American Rye Ale, Lunaphase, a Black IPA, and Aid, a Fruits Ale. From crisp to roasty, the style range is wild.
MugiWait, a Black IPA is dark and hoppy at the same time? Looks versus flavor sounds like a full-on cage match!
Hop BroThat contrast is the fun part. You get roasted malt and hop aroma together, so it seems heavy but drinks easier than expected. It is dark but lively.
MugiI need that. And if outside food is welcome, then a casual stop turns into a serious detour real fast.
Hop BroThere is more: on August 11 they are doing an open brew day from noon grinding malt through brewing until around 7 p.m. Lunch includes coconut chicken curry, then August 15 and 16 bring Third Army, August 21 to 23 have kushikatsu, and August 29 has somen plus a DJ, so it is full summer mode.
MugiThat is not a quick stop, that is a full-day plan. I want to start with Yukiai and finish with Lunaphase, and you obviously want to drink while watching the brew, so now I am ready to head to Nishi-Kawaguchi immediately.
GROW BREW HOUSE in Nishikawaguchi has updated its summer tap list. The brewpub sits directly next to the brewery, and the taproom is built around drinking beer made on site. Carry-in food from nearby shops is also welcome, making it easy to stop in during a neighborhood walk.
The current lineup features six house beers:
- Against Day / Dark Lager
- POTTERING / Saison
- ゆきあい / Dry Hopped Pils
- 17AVE / American Rye Ale
- ルナフェイズ / Black IPA
- エイド / Fruits Ale
The range covers lager, saison, pilsner, rye ale, black IPA, and fruit beer, so it is a lineup designed for comparison rather than a single style. From crisp and light to roasty and hop-forward, it offers a wide spread for beer fans.
The post also announces an open brew day on August 11. No reservation is needed, and the brewery will start milling malt at noon and continue brewing until around 7 p.m. The taproom will open for lunch as well, with coconut chicken curry on the menu.
Late-summer events are also on the calendar, including “Third Army Invasion” on August 15-16, a kushikatsu-themed run on August 21-23, and a nagashi-somen event plus a DJ visit on August 29. It is the kind of neighborhood brewpub where beer, food, and programming all move together.
