CRAFT Rainbow in Okayama taps five beers led by Sankt Gallen Suika Wheat
CRAFT Rainbow, a beer pub in Okayama’s Nodayacho district, shared a tap lineup featuring Sankt Gallen’s Suika Wheat and Ise Kadoya Beer’s LushHopIPA. The pub is non-smoking, has a designated smoking area, and also serves sake and shochu.
Hop BroToday's star is CRAFT Rainbow in Nodaya-cho, Okayama. A tap list with St. Gallen's Suika Wheat on it is basically summer on draft.
MugiWhat! Suika Wheat is a beer? That sounds like a festival booth jumped straight into a glass!
Hop BroIt is a real beer. It's a wheat beer, so the soft body from wheat malt carries that watermelon aroma in a playful, refreshing way.
MugiNo way, and then I saw IPA, pale ale, Kolsch... that looks like a spell list to me.
Hop BroThat's the fun part. Isekadoya's LushHopIPA is a hop-forward IPA, Hoppokotan's Totonou is a pale ale, Swan Lake's Nagi is a Kolsch, and even Suntory Draft is on there.
MugiHold on, what is Kolsch? A special move? A fancy pop quiz?
Hop BroKolsch is a light, crisp ale from Germany. It drinks almost as clean as a lager, so something like Nagi works for a first toast or with food.
MugiOhhh, that helps! And if Suntory Draft is there too, the entry point is easy. Even friends new to craft beer would have a safe first pick.
Hop BroAnd CRAFT Rainbow is comfortably non-smoking inside, with a separate smoking area. It opens at 3 p.m. from Friday to Monday, has sake and shochu, and even shows the World Cup.
MugiThat is dangerous in the best way! A 3 p.m. first pint plus a detour into sake later? That's how an entire day disappears.
Hop BroI know, right? I'd start with LushHopIPA. Wake up the nose with hops, settle into Totonou and Nagi, then land on Suika Wheat for a full summer ending.
MugiThen I'm in, because I want a tasting flight. I'll start with Suika Wheat, steal a sip of your IPA, and sprint to CRAFT Rainbow immediately.
At CRAFT Rainbow in Nodayacho, Okayama City, the bar posted its latest tap lineup, with the update presented in both English and Japanese. The venue keeps a beer-pub feel that makes it easy to stop in for a casual pint or a small tasting session.

Beyond beer, the pub notes that it is non-smoking and provides a separate smoking space.
