Grau Craft beer bar taps INKHORN’s Flocking 2026 #2
Grau Craft beer bar in Fujimino, Saitama, is pouring INKHORN’s Italian Pilsner, Flocking 2026 #2. The bar keeps the room well chilled, is open 17:00-23:00, and is also serving a limited spring roll special.
Hop BroToday’s topic is Grau Craft beer bar in Fujimino pouring INKHORN’s Flocking 2026 #2. It sounds exactly like the kind of beer you want on a hot day.
MugiWhat! INKHORN already has my attention, but an Italian Pilsner? What is that supposed to mean? Does pilsner suddenly come with pasta?
Hop BroNo pasta in the glass. The point is the herbal and fruity aroma, like bergamot, chamomile, and green tea, then a dry finish with a slightly firm bitterness.
MugiHold on, dry finish sounds like laundry to me. What does that actually mean in beer language?
Hop BroBasically, it doesn’t linger sweetly. It has a clean snap at the end, so on a humid day it feels like a breeze passed right through your body.
MugiWhoa, so it’s basically a humidity reset button for my half-melted summer body. I can totally see why that would be an easy first pick.
Hop BroAnd the bar is keeping the room properly chilled from 5 to 11 p.m., plus they’ve got a limited shiso-scented spring roll. Shrimp and minced chicken with that bitterness should be a great match.
MugiWhat is this, a dangerous combo? Limited beer and limited spring rolls in the same place? The words while supplies last make me want to sprint.
Hop BroThe whole tap list is strong too: West Coast IPA, American IPA, Hazy IPA, Scottish Ale, Berliner Weisse, and even an Imperial Stout coming next, so it’s easy to build a full drinking arc from first pour to last.
MugiThat settles it. I want a full pint first, and if the spring rolls are still there I’m ordering them with applause. Hop bro, let’s go drink right now!
