The Grafton in Gotanda posts 14 draughts and cider
On June 24, The Grafton Beer Pub & Restaurant in Gotanda shared its daily food picks and tap list. The post featured octopus and potato orecchiette, a Cornish-style beef pasty, and a lineup that ranged from Guinness and Hoegaarden to Japanese craft beers.
Hop BroToday’s topic is The Grafton Beer Pub & Restaurant in Gotanda, and their June 24 post is strong: they’re pouring 14 taps and cider in one lineup.
MugiWhat! A place you can just drop into and it’s no cover charge too? That is dangerously friendly to after-work plans.
Hop BroAnd the roster is good. Guinness, Heineken, Hoegaarden, Magners Cider, plus Sankt Gallen YOKOHAMA XPA, Ikari’s Irish Red and Scottish Brown Real Ale, COEDO Marihana, and Uchu Brewing’s CHIMERA and Uchu LAGER. It’s a proper global-and-local mix.
MugiHold on! Uchu LAGER sounds approachable, but CHIMERA sounds like a final boss. What even is CHIMERA supposed to be?
Hop BroThe name is intense, sure, but the drinking logic is simple. Uchu LAGER is a lager, so you’re looking at clean, crisp refreshment, which makes it perfect for the first pint.
MugiOhhh! Then what about YOKOHAMA XPA? It sounds less like beer and more like something that gives bonus experience points.
Hop BroXPA means Extra Pale Ale, basically a hop-forward pale ale. And real ale means it’s served with softer carbonation, so something like Ikari’s Scottish Brown Real Ale can feel rounder and gentler in the mouth.
MugiOkay, now I need food too. That octopus and potato orecchiette with garlic and basil, plus the Cornish-style beef pasty, is attacking my stomach directly.
Hop BroThat’s where The Grafton really works. With oysters, steak and kidney pie, Welsh faggots, and railway mutton curry on hand, you can build the whole night around beer-and-pub-food pairing.
MugiAnd they’re showing Volleyball Nations League at 20:30, right? A big screen and a pint during the match is basically a flawless detour.
Hop BroExactly. Start with Uchu LAGER, move to CHIMERA or Marihana, swing by the Irish Red, then finish on Magners Cider. That is an ideal tap crawl in one pub.
MugiThat settles it. I want to snack on orecchiette, compare pours, and go all the way to cider. This is making me want to toast right now!
The Grafton Beer Pub & Restaurant in Gotanda is a beer pub built around draught craft beer, cider, and real ale. With counter and table seating, plus no cover charge, it works well for a quick pint after work or a longer stop on match night. The large screen for sports also gives the room a pub-first feel.
In its June 24 post, the kitchen highlighted octopus and potato orecchiette. The dish uses Hokkaido octopus and potatoes with garlic and basil sauce, and the post also noted a Cornish-style beef pasty in prep. Other pub dishes on the board included oysters, steak and kidney pie, Welsh faggots, a pulled pork Danish sandwich, katsuo tataki salad, and railway mutton curry, making the food lineup feel firmly rooted in pub fare.
The tap list combined familiar imports and Japanese craft: Guinness, Heineken, Hoegaarden, Magners Cider, Sankt Gallen YOKOHAMA XPA, Ikari Brewing Irish Red, Ikari Brewing Scottish Brown Real Ale, COEDO Brewery Maribana, Uchu Brewing CHIMERA, Uchu Brewing Uchu Lager, Farm & Cidery Kaneshige RICKEY, Smoke Craft PHARAOH, U.B.P Brewery Get Goal!, and Black Tide Second Breath.
