Seven guest drafts and cider from the UK and Japan at THE GRAFTON in Gotanda
At THE GRAFTON Beer Pub & Restaurant, an Irish pub in Gotanda, the guest draft lineup for Wednesday, April 15 was announced. The selection spans a wide range of styles, from stout to Hazy IPA, including British breweries such as Sureshot Brewing and UnBarred Brewery, as well as domestic names like HUMANS BEER, TEENAGE BREWING, and UCHU BREWING.
Hop BroAt THE GRAFTON Beer Pub & Restaurant in Gotanda, seven guest drafts from the UK and Japan were on tap. British breweries like Sureshot Brewing and UnBarred Brewery were there alongside domestic names like HUMANS BEER, TEENAGE BREWING, and UCHU BREWING, so it looked like a really strong lineup.
MugiWait, that many!? Being able to drink everything from stout to IPA all at once sounds way too fun! But somehow an Irish pub in Gotanda suddenly feels like a secret adult hideout.
Hop BroExactly. It’s only a 4-minute walk from the station, and the interior has that calm wood-toned feel. They also have Guinness and cider, plus table seats, sofa seats, and counters, so you can choose how you want to drink.
MugiCider isn’t just sweet juice, right? It feels like the little one hanging out next to beer, which makes me kind of curious!
Hop BroThat distinction matters. Here, it’s Sheppy’s Cider’s "200 Cider," which is an apple-fermented drink. It’s not just sweet; it has acidity and a crisp finish too, so drinking it between beers helps reset your palate.
MugiOhh, so it’s a master of changing the pace. And Sureshot Brewing’s "Shh... It’s Just Magic" being a Dry Stout is already sneaky cool just from the name!
Hop BroDry Stout keeps the sweetness in check, so the roasted character takes center stage. It looks dark, but it isn’t heavy, and the roasted malt gives it a coffee-like note, making it a great first drink or a great finish.
MugiRoasted malt!? Those words have so much power! And HUMANS BEER’s "SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER" is a Hazy IPA, right? The weekend vibe is practically leaking out of the name!
Hop BroExactly, and TEENAGE BREWING’s "SHOHEI Zen" is a persimmon DIPA, Kakegawa Beer’s "Apéritif Pils" is a pilsner, and UCHU BREWING’s "Galactic Path" is an IPA. The style range is wide, so a tasting flight would feel like a trip through space.
MugiA space trip that lands with fish and chips is perfect! Pilsner first, IPA second, and stout to finish, right? I’ve already taken notes!
Hop BroAnd they’ve even got more on the way in the Coming soon list, with Marble Brewery’s Stout and HUMANS BEER’s GUAVA & MANGO. So there’s something to look forward to next time too. This really makes you want to head to GRAFTON for a drink tonight.
MugiYeah, I’m completely in the mood to drink now! My pick for tonight’s pint is definitely Gotanda. I want to say, give me both the stout and the cider!

It also makes it easy to build a tasting flow like a pilsner first, an IPA second, and a stout to finish, while slipping in a cider in between to reset your palate.
