CRAFT Rainbow, a beer pub in Okayama's Nodayacho district, posted its daily opening notice and tap list on Instagram. The lineup features five craft beers, plus Japanese sake and shochu.
Hop BroWhat caught my eye today was CRAFT Rainbow in Nodaya-cho, Okayama. They posted their daily info on Instagram, with Johana Beer's Earl Grey, five craft taps, plus sake and shochu.
MugiWait, an Earl Grey beer? That sounds like teatime and happy hour smashed into one glass!
Hop BroThat is exactly the charm. Johana Beer's Earl Grey leans on tea-like aromatics, so it pulls you in with fragrance instead of just blasting you with bitterness.
MugiWhoa! But when you say tap list, I picture a panic-inducing list telling me to keep tapping my phone!
Hop BroA tap list is simply what's pouring now. It means the beers currently available on draft that day.
MugiGot it! And with NOMCRAFT IPA plus Shiokaze Blue Lab's Keiyo Kolsch, that's a huge flavor range. Then 2saw's Seek jumps in and makes choosing even harder!
Hop BroThat range is the fun part. IPA brings bright hoppy bitterness, Keiyo Kolsch stays light and crisp, and even Suntory draft is there, so both aroma fans and easy-drinking people are covered.
MugiHold on, what is Kolsch? That sounds less like beer and more like a spell from a wizard pub!
Hop BroNot a spell, a beer style. Think crisp like a lager, but with a softer character that makes it really approachable for newer craft drinkers.
MugiAnd weekday happy hour runs until 7 p.m., they show matches, and the place is non-smoking with a separate smoking area, so it's ridiculously easy to drop by. My after-work brain is already sold!
Hop BroThey open at 3 p.m. from Friday to Monday and at 5 p.m. from Tuesday to Thursday, which is perfect for a tasting run. I'd start with the Earl Grey for aroma and finish with the IPA.
MugiThat sounds way too good. Just imagining a toast at CRAFT Rainbow is enough to make me thirsty already!
