The Grafton in Nishi-Gotanda adds Uchu Brewing 'Uchu Relax' on match day
The Grafton Beer Pub & Restaurant in Nishi-Gotanda highlighted a match-day setup built around football and beer. The guest keg is Uchu Brewing's 'Uchu Relax DDH HAZY PALE ALE', alongside a wide tap list spanning European staples and Japanese craft.
Hop BroAt The Grafton Beer Pub & Restaurant in Nishi-Gotanda, it's basically sports-viewing paradise today. You can catch Tochigi City vs. Jubilo Iwata at 6:00 p.m. and drink the guest keg Uchu Relax at the same time.
MugiWhat! Beer and football in one move? That's too powerful. A beer called Uchu Relax already sounds like my chair is about to swallow me.
Hop BroThe star is Uchu Brewing's Uchu Relax DDH Hazy Pale Ale, a lighter hazy with juicy aroma up front. It's the kind of beer that goes down easy even while you're glued to the match.
MugiHold on, what is DDH? Beer abbreviations always sound like boss-level attacks to me!
Hop BroDDH means double dry hopping. You add hops after fermentation to stack aroma, so you get citrus and tropical notes without making the bitterness go completely wild.
MugiOhhh! So hazy means that cloudy look, right? It looks like juice, which feels dangerously friendly.
Hop BroExactly, and the tap list runs from Europe to Japan. Guinness, Hoegaarden, O'Hara's, Sankt Gallen, Ikari Brewing, Uchu, even cider, so different tastes are all covered.
MugiNo way, that bench depth on tap is ridiculous. Even the backup lineup sounds elite. I'd mess up my order before kickoff.
Hop BroThe food isn't slacking either: Buffalo wings. Then gizzard ajillo, fresh oysters, and steak & ale pie. That's proper Irish/British pub energy with room to pace your snacks to the game.
MugiThis is it, take me to Gotanda right now! Match on, Uchu Relax in hand, then straight into the Premier League sounds far too good.
Hop BroOnly one option left: cheers at The Grafton. A pint from Uchu Brewing, solid food, and football on the screens is enough to make anyone want that first sip.
