Hop BroCRAFT Rainbow in Nodaya-cho, Okayama just posted five beers on tap, and it opens strong with Shimanami Brewery's Grapefruit Sour.
MugiWait, a tap list is basically today's draft lineup? And five choices? That's not a rainbow, that's a side quest!
Hop BroExactly. It's the list of kegs pouring right now, and CRAFT Rainbow has a wide-ranging lineup centered on craft beer, plus sake and shochu too.
MugiWhoa, Grapefruit Sour already sounds fizzy in my mouth. Is sour really a beer thing?
Hop BroVery much so. Sour beer has a lactic tang that makes it bright and refreshing, and grapefruit adds juicy bitterness on top.
MugiWhat! A yogurt club just entered the conversation! My brain is serving breakfast now!
Hop BroThink of it more like a squeeze of lemon, not yogurt. And Isekadoya's LushHopIPA is a full-hop IPA with big aroma.
MugiWhat is IPA short for anyway? Every time beer people say it, it sounds like a spell!
Hop BroIt means India Pale Ale, the style that leans into hop aroma and bitterness. Add Hoppokotan Brewery's Totonou, Swan Lake's Nagi, and even Suntory draft, and you've got range from sour to IPA to lager territory.
MugiSo it's a pick-your-mood lineup! Refreshing, bitter-hoppy, or just crushable, all covered!
Hop BroAnd it's easy to drop into too: non-smoking with a separate smoking area, open 15:00-24:00 Fri-Mon and 17:00-24:00 Tue-Thu. Check first because they have irregular days off, but it feels perfect for a first pint in Okayama.
MugiThen first round goes there. We check if they're open, and both of us are heading to Okayama for a toast!
