Hop BroThe Grafton Beer Pub & Restaurant in Gotanda is open through Obon, and they're starting at 4 p.m.
MugiWhat! A 4 p.m. opening totally grabs both the late-lunch crowd and the early-night crowd!
Hop BroAnd from 7 p.m. they're showing Juventus vs. Palermo, with 13 taps of craft beer and cider. That's a dangerous detour.
MugiNo way, thirteen taps is enough to make me lose all decision-making power. Where do I even start?
Hop BroFor classics you've got Guinness and Hoegaarden, then it swings into Ikari's Irish Red and Scottish Brown real ales, plus O'Hara's IPA and Uchu ALE.
MugiHold on, what's real ale supposed to mean? Were the other ales fake this whole time?!
Hop BroNot like that. Real ale uses gentler natural carbonation instead of loading it up with extra gas, so the texture stays soft and the aroma opens up.
MugiWhat is that, soft foamy beer magic? My first-sip face is already prepared.
Hop BroAnd the food is serious too: oysters, Guinness roast pork, fisherman's pie, wagyu ragu rigatoni... it's a full British pub feast.
MugiA basement pub in Gotanda, soccer on screen, and 13 taps? Tonight's detour plan is basically decided.
Hop BroYep. With imports, Japanese craft, and cider all lined up, this feels like a night past one pint already.
MugiDone. We start with a tasting flight, end with rhubarb pie, and I want a toast now!
