Raisin-dou opens Baeren's limited amber lager on Aug. 15
BEER & MUSIC Cafe Raisin-dou in Ibaraki, Osaka opened early on Aug. 15 and updated its tap list. The bar introduced Baeren Brewery's limited 'Tsunagu Beer Kohakuiro no Lager' and also listed drafts from Iwate Kura Beer, Ise Kadoya Beer, Pilsner Urquell, and more.
Hop BroWhat caught my eye today is Raisindo's fresh tap. On August 15, BEER & MUSIC Cafe Raisindo tapped Baeren Brewery's limited "Tsunagu Beer Amber Lager."
MugiWait, a limited lager? That name already sounds delicious. What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroThe cool part is 100% domestic ingredients. It's a new release in Baeren's Tsunagu Beer series, an amber lager with a reddish-brown pour and straight-up malt depth.
MugiAmber malt thing? What is that! Did the malt get toasted and dragged into a science class?
Hop BroPretty close, but no teacher involved. Gentle roast aroma means a light toast-like scent, not burnt, and it lifts that soft grain sweetness.
MugiOhhh! A reddish-brown lager already feels cozy, and if it smells like bread I'm going to park my nose in the glass.
Hop BroAnd the tap lineup is broad. They've got Iwate Kura Beer's Raspberry Pink, REPUBREW and open air brewing's THUNDERSTRUCK IPA, Isekadoya's Neko ni Hiki, and draft Pilsner Urquell too.
MugiWhat is this, a tasting paradise? Lager, IPA, fruit beer... my stomach is acting like the festival poster just dropped.
Hop BroThe food is strong too: bonito marinade , eisbein, Margherita, smoked dishes, and zangi, so you can settle in for the evening. Food last call is 8:30 p.m., and pizza and pasta stop at 8:00 p.m.
MugiI'm sold! Start with Amber Lager first, then maybe Neko ni Hiki or Pilsner Urquell. My throat is about to tap itself.
Hop BroThat's the right route. Straight into malt for the first glass, then we travel across the taps. Now I want a drink immediately too.
