CRAFT Rainbow in Okayama updates tap list with Mountain River and Y.Market
On August 20, Okayama beer pub CRAFT Rainbow posted its daily tap list and service hours. The lineup spans English-labeled pours and Japanese-listed beers from Mountain River, Craftrock, Y.Market, Hoppukotan Brewing, and Sapporo Classic.
Hop BroOkay, CRAFT Rainbow in Okayama just posted that day's tap update, and the August 20 lineup had 10 options from Mountain River to Y. Market. It's a very tempting list.
MugiWhat! Ten beers on tap is how people lose all decision-making ability! And they also serve sake and shochu? That's wildly overqualified.
Hop BroWhat makes it fun is the English tap list: Pineappleale, ColdIPA, Paleale, AleofHerres, and Pilsner. You can really see the style range right there.
MugiWait, what? Cold IPA sounds like some seasonal chilled noodle situation. Is it just extra cold and dramatic?
Hop BroClose, but not quite. It has lager-like crispness with IPA-style hop aroma, so it drinks clean but still has attitude. Like a troublemaker in a suit.
MugiWow! A troublemaker in a suit somehow makes perfect sense and no sense at all, but now I absolutely want to drink one.
Hop BroLooking at the names, you've got Mountain River's Fengli Beer, Craftrock's SmellsLikeSwanSpilits, Y. Market's PurpleJetSky, Hop Kotan Brewery's inversion, and Sapporo Classic. It's a tasting-flight lineup for sure.
MugiThose names are intense! PurpleJetSky sounds like it should come with runway lights, and Fengli Beer already tastes tropical in my imagination.
Hop BroAnd CRAFT Rainbow also has a non-smoking interior, happy hour until 7 p.m. on weekdays, plus Fagiano Okayama matches on screen, so it's easy to drop in before or after a game.
MugiThat rules. Beer during the match and then a bonus sake or shochu if the mood changes? That's basically a trap for my evening plans.
Hop BroWith IPA sharpness, pale ale approachability, and pilsner drinkability all covered, choosing the first pint might be the hardest part in the best way.
MugiDecision made. I want one right now, and I'm starting with the Cold IPA so I can meet this so-called troublemaker in a suit.
