At the beer pub “HARU BEER” in Enko-machi, Naka Ward, Hiroshima, notice has been posted for business hours on Thursday, April 9, from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.

In that day's post, the pub announced that the guest beer on tap is Streetlight Brewing's “Dark Cherry-san.” Described as a sour ale made with dark cherry purée, the post calls it “refreshingly tart and fruity,” suggesting it would work well as a first beer or as a palate reset when you want to switch up your drinking pace.

The recommended food is natural sea bream. The filleted meat is described as “very springy and plump,” and the post suggests enjoying it as carpaccio or as sashimi with the skin lightly seared. The beer recommended alongside it is a yuzu kosho ale, a pairing designed to bring together the fish's umami, citrus aromas, and a light spicy note.

HARU BEER is the kind of neighborhood beer pub that welcomes many guests, including visitors from overseas, and it has that warm, local atmosphere. The highlight of the day is being able to slowly pair a sour ale with seasonal fish dishes in its cozy interior.
