Gotanda beer pub The Grafton Beer Pub & Restaurant released its tap list for May 28. The lineup features Uchu Brewing’s “P!P!P!” along with domestic and imported draft beers and ciders, from standards to distinctive picks, plus a substantial food menu.

MugiWhoa! Just the fact that P!P!P! is making its debut gets me excited, but what kind of beer is it?
Hop BroThe post describes it as a German-style pilsner, the kind that lets you enjoy a balance of hop aroma and crispness.
MugiI think of pilsner as light, but what makes it different when it’s German-style?
Hop BroRoughly speaking, the appeal is that the shape of the malt and the bitterness come through cleanly, so it isn’t overly flashy and pairs easily with food.
MugiI see, so the tap list looks like a lot of fun to compare, and it’s a pretty serious lineup!
Hop BroExactly. Besides Guinness, Heineken, Hoegaarden, and Magners Cider, it’s strong because it has everything lined up, from British styles to IPAs.
MugiWow, with Sankt Gallen and Ikari Brewing in there too, it feels festive to have domestic and imported draft beers all together!
Hop BroAnd with dishes like live oysters and lamb Guinness stew pie, they’ve really thought about how the food matches the beer.
MugiBeing able to drink slowly in a basement beer pub sounds amazing, and if it’s perfect for farewell and welcome parties too, I already want to go tonight!
Tap List for May 28
The May 28 update from The Grafton Beer Pub & Restaurant (Gotanda) introduced Uchu Brewing’s “P!P!P!” as the guest draft beer. The post described it as a German-style pilsner and noted that it is being served at the shop for the first time.
A lineup where staples and craft beers coexist
On tap that day were classics such as Guinness, Heineken, Hoegaarden, and Magners Cider, along with Sankt Gallen’s “YOKOHAMA XPA Real Ale,” Ikari Brewing’s “Irish Red” and “Scottish Brown Real Ale,” COEDO Brewery’s “Tsubakihana,” Black Sheep’s “BEST BITTER,” Numazu Craft’s “Merseyside ESB,” Uchu Brewing’s “KONBINI IPA” and “P!P!P!,” Horsehead Labs’ “Kambara Hazy,” and Farm & Cidery Kaneshige’s “RICKEY”. The lineup spans a wide range, from British-style beers for enjoying bitterness to hop-forward IPAs and cider, making it a clearly structured selection for side-by-side tasting.
A place to enjoy with food
The food menu includes live oysters from Ofunato, Iwate, lamb Guinness stew pie, spiced grilled pork tongue cartilage, bonito tataki salad, salted cod roe cream spaghetti, and the house taco rice. In the relaxed setting of a basement beer pub, it seems easy to take your time pairing draft beer with food. The post also mentions reservations for farewell and welcome parties, various banquets, and private parties, so it looks useful for group dining as well.
