CRAFT Rainbow adds Shimanami Brewery grapefruit sour and four taps
CRAFT Rainbow, the beer pub in Okayama’s Nodayacho district, updated its tap list with a new grapefruit sour from Shimanami Brewery alongside four other Japanese beers.
Hop BroCRAFT Rainbow in Okayama just rolled out an updated tap list, and the fresh keg from Shimanami Brewery is the one grabbing me.
MugiWait, what! A freshly opened tap already sounds like a reason to sit down immediately!
Hop BroThe headliner is Shimanami Brewery's Grapefruit Sour. With fruit aroma and bright acidity, it sounds perfect for a first glass.
MugiOoh! That grapefruit tang has to be an instant hot-day winner, right?
Hop BroAnd the rest of the lineup is Isekadoya Beer's LushHopIPA, Hobukotan Brewery's Totonou, Swan Lake's Nagi, and even Suntory Nama.
MugiHold on, the moment you say hop aroma, my brain turns straight into foam!
Hop BroRight, so hop aroma notes are the citrusy or grassy smells you get in an IPA. In plain terms, LushHopIPA is the kind that makes you go whoa from the smell alone.
MugiOkay, got it! So you get the whoa from the smell, then snap back with the Grapefruit Sour. That's a fun drinking order!
Hop BroCRAFT Rainbow also serves sake and shochu, plus it's non-smoking inside with a smoking area, so it's easy to drop into near Okayama Station.
MugiAnd the hours are 5 p.m. to midnight Tuesday to Thursday, and 3 p.m. to midnight Friday to Monday, which makes what should we drink? a very good problem to have.
Hop BroStart with the fresh Grapefruit Sour, move to LushHopIPA, and you've got a mini tasting route ready to go.
MugiDone. At CRAFT Rainbow, first drink tonight is officially calling my name!
