CRAFT Rainbow in Okayama updates its taps with Fruitsale and nine more beers
CRAFT Rainbow, a beer pub in Nodayacho, Okayama, shared its opening hours and daily tap list. The lineup combines five English-labeled beers with Japanese-labeled craft picks and Suntory draft, giving drinkers both variety and a familiar finish.
Hop BroOkayama’s CRAFT Rainbow just refreshed the taps. With `Fruitsale` leading a 10-beer lineup, it’s the kind of board that makes you thirsty on sight.
MugiWhat! That name, Fruitsale sounds like a fruit bargain blowout. And 10 taps? I’d freeze before even picking pint number one!
Hop BroThe fun part is five English names and five Japanese ones: `HoppyPaleale`, `Paleale`, `Alt`, `Pilsner`, plus Ushitora’s `Koko kara Pine`, Omishima Brewery’s `Hoppy Pale Ale`, `NAMACHAん Namape`, Swan Lake’s `Album`, and even Suntory Draft.
MugiWhoa. But when people say beer style differences, my brain suddenly hears exam music. What really changes between `Alt` and `Pilsner`?
Hop BroIn simple terms, `Paleale` balances aroma and drinkability, `Alt` leans toasty, and `Pilsner` is all about bottom-fermented snap. Same tap list, totally different personalities.
MugiHold on, bottom-fermented? That makes it sound like the beer is aging in some secret basement!
Hop BroNot quite. It means slow fermentation at low temps, which usually gives you a cleaner, crisper finish. That’s the easy version to remember.
MugiOkay, that I get! And if you can have a pint with sports on the screen, plus a non-smoking room with a separate smoking area, that’s super easy to suggest to friends.
Hop BroExactly. It’s easy from first pour to last call too. They open at 3 p.m. Friday through Monday, and 5 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, so you can go full craft or finish mellow with Suntory Draft.
MugiNow I’m fully thirsty. I want Koko kara Pine already, and now I’m imagining a side-by-side with `Fruitsale`!
Hop BroThen that’s settled. Straight to the tapboard. We can debate `HoppyPaleale` versus `Pilsner` properly with a glass in hand.
CRAFT Rainbow, a beer pub in Nodayacho, Okayama, posted its operating notice together with the day’s tap list. The venue is non-smoking, with a separate smoking area, and the post says it opens at 15:00 from Friday through Monday and at 17:00 from Tuesday through Thursday. Holidays follow the same schedule, and the bar also notes sports broadcasts, making it a practical place to drink while watching a match.
The tap list includes five English-labeled beers: `Fruitsale`, `HoppyPaleale`, `Paleale`, `Alt`, and `Pilsner`. It is joined by five Japanese-labeled choices: `うしとら ココからパイン`, `大三島ブルワリー ホッピーペールエール`, `NAMACHAん なまぺ`, `スワンレイク Album`, and `サントリー生`. That mix gives the bar both craft options and a standard draft beer, so it works for a first pint as well as a final round.
For beer fans, the appeal is in the range on the board. The names suggest fruit-forward and hop-forward choices alongside classic styles, while the Japanese entries add recognizable breweries and a local-pub feel. In other words, CRAFT Rainbow is not only a place to drink, but a pub where the tap list itself is part of the draw.
