CRAFT Rainbow in Okayama announces five taps, led by Minoh Beer’s Grapefruits Sour
The Okayama beer pub CRAFT Rainbow shared its latest tap list on Instagram, featuring five pours that span sour, pale ale, IPA, saison, and draft beer, alongside Japanese sake and shochu.
Hop BroIf you're hunting for a great pour in Okayama today, CRAFT Rainbow's tap list is seriously strong. The July 13 lineup alone is enough to make you thirsty.
MugiWait, what! Five taps at once already sounds like the kind of choice that breaks my brain in the best way!
Hop BroThe first standout is Minoh Beer's Grapefruit Sour. It's a fruit-forward sour, exactly the kind of thing that hits on a hot day.
MugiJust hearing the name makes my mouth pucker! Big grapefruit energy sounds like pure summer reward!
Hop BroThen you've got ShioKaze Brewing's CascadeYazamani as a pale ale and West Coast Brewing's StarWatcher as an IPA, so you get a full bitterness and aroma showdown.
MugiHold on, pale ale and IPA are what exactly? Friends? Rivals? Which one am I supposed to flirt with first!?
Hop BroSimple version: pale ale drinks lighter, while IPA pushes hops harder. StarWatcher is the kind where you enjoy the aroma outline.
MugiWe drink outlines now!? I swear I just switched into art gallery mode over here!
Hop BroAnd Fermentary's Gpepee is a saison, which means the saison yeast is part of what makes it interesting.
MugiWait, the yeast gets the spotlight too? Saison yeast sounds like the lead singer of some indie band!
Hop BroIt can create fruity or spicy notes during fermentation. The technical version is yeast character, but the easy version is a master perfumer for beer.
MugiWhoa! And with Suntory Draft plus happy hour, the just one drink plan is obviously doomed from the start!
Hop BroAnd the place is non-smoking inside, which helps. With everything from craft picks to a classic pour, I'm already stuck on the first pour I want.
MugiThen I'm starting with Grapefruit Sour and chasing it with StarWatcher and Gpepee. At this point, it's just I need a beer right now!
