GROW BREW HOUSE in Nishikawaguchi brews yuzu saison and refreshes its taps
In a July 21 post, GROW BREW HOUSE shared its yuzu saison brew day and current tap list. Luciole is nearly sold out, and Texas BBQ plus hamburgers are planned for the coming weekend, making it a very brewpub-style week.
Hop BroSomething fun is happening in Nishi-Kawaguchi: GROW BREW HOUSE is brewing a yuzu saison and refreshing all six taps.
MugiWait, yuzu saison? Citrus beer already sounds like I’d accidentally order two.
Hop BroA saison usually leans dry and spicy, so yuzu should lift the aroma and make it feel extra crisp in warm weather.
MugiSeriously? A mid-summer brew day sounds like beer boot camp.
Hop BroThat’s the bold part. It’s aiming for around September release, so they’re brewing through the heat for an early-autumn payoff.
MugiAnd the tap list has six beers? The words almost sold out turn me into a panic shopper immediately.
Hop BroLuciole is a Sake Brut Ale, made with koji for a light, polished finish. And after that, a rye-based oddball is waiting in the wings.
MugiHold on, koji and brut sound fancy enough to need a dress code. What do they actually mean?
Hop BroSimple version: koji helps create a lighter feel, and brut means clean and snappy rather than sweet. They’ve got Against Day as a Dark Lager, NK.GOLD as a Helles, Heiji as a Hazy IPA, Luna Phase as a Black IPA, and Hitoe Jitate as a Cream Ale.
MugiThat lineup has ridiculous range! Light, hazy, dark, crisp... that’s a whole friend-group solution.
Hop BroAnd because it’s a brewpub, there’s July 24 Texas BBQ plus burgers, then Pub Nail & Burgers on July 25. I’m already pairing smoke with beer in my head.
MugiThen it’s settled: grab Luciole now, come back for the yuzu saison drop, and arrive thirsty and hungry.
Yuzu saison in the brewhouse

A brewpub built around food and beer

The brewer, a former chef, prepares food to pair with the beer, and weekends can include kitchen takeovers and outside food brought in by guests.
