CRAFT Rainbow in Okayama updates its taps with Fruitsale and five craft beers
CRAFT Rainbow, a beer pub in Okayama’s Nodayacho area, posted its opening hours and tap list. The lineup spans Fruitsale and HoppyPaleale, plus beers from Ushitora, Omishima Brewery, NAMACHAん, Swan Lake, and Suntory draft.
Hop BroOkayama's beer pub CRAFT Rainbow just posted its daily tap update, and it's stacked with Fruitsale, HoppyPaleale, and a bunch of Japanese craft picks.
MugiWhat! The name range alone from Fruitsale to HoppyPaleale already sounds like two completely different moods in one visit!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. With Paleale, Alt, and Pilsner in the mix, you can compare everything from hop-forward beers to malt-driven flavors pretty naturally.
MugiWait, malt-driven? That suddenly sounds like a chemistry class. Can I get the tasty version of that?
Hop BroBasically, it means the grain character steps forward. With Alt, you get a fresh-baked bread vibe, and with Pilsner, you get that crisp, clean finish.
MugiOhhh, nice! From fruity Fruitsale to hoppy bitterness and then into toasty Alt, I've got a map of flavors in my head now!
Hop BroAnd it's not just the English-listed taps. They've also got Ushitora's Kokokara Pine, Omishima Brewery's Hoppy Pale Ale, NAMACHA'n Namape, Swan Lake Album, and Suntory draft, which makes for a strong domestic lineup.
MugiWait, craft beer and regular draft in the same stop? Perfect. And the pub is non-smoking, with a separate smoking area, so you can actually settle in with a glass.
Hop BroYep. It opens at 3 p.m. from Friday to Monday and 5 p.m. from Tuesday to Thursday, and they're also showing J.League Hundred Year Vision League and ACL matches, so it's great for game nights too.
MugiThat is dangerous. One beer before kickoff, one at halftime, one after... that's a beautiful accident waiting to happen!
Hop BroI'd start with Fruitsale, swing over to HoppyPaleale or Omishima's Hoppy Pale Ale, then finish on Alt or Pilsner. That's basically a taproom pub crawl in one seat.
MugiI'm sold. I want to stare at the taps at CRAFT Rainbow and work through Kokokara Pine and Namape next. This already feels like more than one pint for me!
