CRAFT Rainbow in Okayama posts tap list with Coco kara Pine and KABEL
CRAFT Rainbow, a beer pub in Okayama’s Kita Ward, shared its daily tap list on Instagram on July 31. The post names beers from Ushitora, ubp, Beer Hearn, Nara Brewing, and Suntory, alongside sake and shochu.
Hop BroToday I want to talk about CRAFT Rainbow's taps in Okayama. Their July 31 lineup had 10 offerings, from Ushitora to Nara Brewing, so the range is seriously wide.
MugiWait, ten taps at once? I'd get lost just reading the list! And having Suntory draft too makes it easy to invite less nerdy friends.
Hop BroThe one that really jumps out is Ushitora's "Koko kara Pine". The name alone sounds tropical, and it feels like the kind of first pour that grabs your mood immediately.
MugiWhat is that! But also, what is IPA? The moment beer turns into acronyms, I start feeling like I'm entering a password.
Hop BroIPA is a hop-forward ale with citrusy aroma and a firmer bitterness. It's one of those classic styles that makes craft beer fans grin a little.
MugiOhh, then Beer Hearn's pale ale would be a bit gentler, right? That sounds much friendlier for someone who's still pretty new to this.
Hop BroExactly. And with Oktoberfest and Pilsner on the list, plus ubp's "CounterAttack" and Nara Brewing's "KABEL," the spread goes from crisp and easy to rich and punchy.
MugiAnd they also have sake and shochu? That's wildly strong lineup energy! You could start with beer and then casually drift into Japanese spirits.
Hop BroThey also announced a weekday happy hour until 7 p.m., and the pub in Nodaya-cho sounds easy to drop into after work. It's non-smoking with a separate smoking area, so solo visits feel approachable too.
MugiThat sounds like a place that would steal my whole evening. Now I can't stop thinking about my first pour being either the pineapple one or a clean pilsner.

Opening hours are 3:00 p.m. to midnight from Friday to Monday, and 5:00 p.m. to midnight from Tuesday to Thursday, with irregular days off. The post also notes a weekday happy hour until 7:00 p.m.
Hashtags in the post point to a solo-drinking-friendly setup, including notes about one-person drinking and women drinking alone. With craft beer at the center and sake and shochu as alternatives, the pub reads as an easygoing neighborhood stop rather than a one-note taproom.
