In a March 25 (Wednesday) post, the beer pub The Grafton Beer Pub & Restaurant in Nishi-Gotanda, Gotanda, announced the tapping of Uchu Brewing's "Deluxe Citra TDH DIPA" as a guest draft craft beer.

That day's taps included staples such as Guinness, Heineken, Hoegaarden, and Magners Cider, along with domestic craft beers like Sankt Gallen's "YOKOHAMA XPA Real Ale," Ikari Brewery's "Irish Red" and "Scottish Brown Real Ale," COEDO Brewery's "Marihana," Sure Shot's "Shh. . It's Just Magic," Black Sheep's "MILK STOUT," Farm & Cidery Kaneshige's "HOPHEAD," Kakegawa Beer"s "Dank Hop IPA," and Kanpai Brewing!'s "Jyorurizaka Helles."

Not only is the beer selection broad, but the food lineup is too, with fresh oysters, falafel, seared bonito salad, spice-grilled pork tongue, Fisherman's Pie, rigatoni with gorgonzola sauce, and black squid ink curry, making it easy to build a meal around the draft beers. They also say they accept reservations for farewell and welcome parties and various banquets, making it an easy place to spend an evening drinking and eating heartily.

The Grafton Beer Pub & Restaurant has the kind of setup you'd expect from a beer pub centered on craft beer and cider, and its appeal is being able to follow both staples and limited drafts at the same time. In this post as well, the lineup spans everything from IPAs that highlight the character of domestic hops to roasted stouts, ales, and helles, so you can drink your way through while comparing styles you like.
