Golden Garden taps Daisen G Beer's Rauchbock, plus HNB's barrel-aged wheat wine
A post from the beer pub Golden Garden in Hiroshima's Shintenchi introduced serving information for Daisen G Beer's Rauchbock from Tottori, HIROSHIMA NEIGHBORLY BREWING's barrel-aged wheat wine "Rinki Sakurahen," and an IPA from Canada. Happy hour also runs until 7 p.m. in the shop.
Hop BroAt Golden Garden in Shintenchi, Hiroshima, the guest beer lineup is getting pretty interesting. Having Daisen G Beer's Rauchbock and even HNB's barrel-aged wheat wine on tap is quite the luxury.
MugiWhoa! What's a Rauchbock? It sounds strong just from the name, and it seems a little smoky too. Isn't that the kind of thing that makes you hesitate before even drinking it?
Hop BroGood catch. Rauchbier is a style that uses smoked malt, and bock is a fuller-bodied German lager. In other words, it's a beer with a solid hit of malt sweetness and smokiness.
MugiI see, so that's what strong malt character means. It sounds like one of those beers you'd drink in front of a campfire, and it would lift your mood even outside winter!
Hop BroExactly. The post also mentioned a visit to Tottori's Daisen G Beer, and even though Fujizakura's Rauchbier is sold out, it's nice how the Rauchbier-lover's thread still comes through.
MugiWait, what's this Rauchbier-lover thread? Is there like beer-world fandom going on?
Hop BroBasically, the energy around tasting and comparing is high. What's more, their house-brewed HIROSHIMA NEIGHBORLY BREWING also has a barrel-aged wheat wine, 'Rinki Sakurahen,' so it's a pretty bold lineup.
MugiBarrel aging makes it sound like an adult laboratory all of a sudden! Wheat wine - is it wine? Is it beer? Which is it?
Hop BroIt's beer. It has body from wheat, and when barrel aroma and oxidative nuances layer on top, it becomes the kind of beer you sip slowly. And with HNB RED IPA and a Canadian IPA too, hop-bitter fans are well covered.
MugiWhoa, that's impossible to choose! Smoky or hoppy today - it's basically a two-choice beer hell!
Hop BroThe snacks are strong too. They have oyster hot pot and fried oysters, plus pork tomato curry, so the food really matches the beers. And with happy hour until 7 p.m., the earlier you go, the better the deal.
MugiWhoa, that's sneaky... Happy hour until 7 p.m. is exactly the kind of thing that gently nudges you after work.
Hop BroExactly. If you want to slowly pair guest beer and food in central Hiroshima, it's a very good place. I'm thinking of starting with the Rauchbock; how about you try the Rinki Sakurahen first?
MugiI'm in! I want to start with a smoky pour and finish with something barrel-aged to end on a reflective note!
The beer pub Golden Garden in Hiroshima's Shintenchi has been sharing an update on its guest beers via Instagram. The post also mentioned staff visiting Daisen G Beer in Tottori Prefecture, while noting that multiple beers are rotating on tap at the bar.
The spotlight is on Daisen G Beer's Rauchbock. In the post, it is introduced as a bock-style beer with strong malt character and smokiness, making it a good choice for those who want to enjoy a rich malt body and smoky notes. Also, although the newly tapped Rauchbier from Fujizakura has already sold out, the post still gives off the sense of a tasting comparison for Rauchbier fans.
In addition, Golden Garden's in-house brewing brand HIROSHIMA NEIGHBORLY BREWING has put on a barrel-aged wheat wine, "Rinki Sakurahen". A small quantity of HNB RED IPA has also come in, making for a lineup that also caters to drinkers looking for hop bitterness. The post also mentioned an IPA from Canada.
On the food side, the menu includes an assorted snack plate, oyster hot pot and fried oysters, and pork tomato curry, making it easy to pair with beer. Happy hour runs every day until 7 p.m., another perk unique to this place for enjoying its house-brewed beers at a good value. It is a good spot in central Hiroshima for slowly pairing guest beers with the kitchen's dishes.
