Golden Garden in Hiroshima updates taps and adds a Daisen Brewery preview ahead of Aug. 22-23 takeover
Golden Garden, a beer pub in Hiroshima's Shintenchi district, shared an update on its Obon one-person service and refreshed draft and bottle offerings. Highlights include BLACK TIDE BREWING's orange fruit lager, a Daisen Brewery India Pale Saison preview, and a tap takeover planned for Aug. 22-23.
Hop BroI’ve got a fun one today: Hiroshima’s Golden Garden just had two HNB kegs kick, and the place rolled out new taps and early pours all at once.
MugiWait, what? During Obon? Golden Garden is doing all that on a one-person shift? That is wild.
Hop BroAnd the fresh arrivals are solid: BLACK TIDE BREWING brought an orange fruit lager, and Daisen Brewery has an India Pale Saison pouring early.
MugiHold on, an India Pale Saison? Is that an IPA or a saison? My brain just spilled its own beer.
Hop BroThat mash-up is the point. You get IPA-like hop character with a dry, peppery saison finish. Think light saison drinkability with extra hop lift.
MugiOkay, I’m in. And the bottle shop has Rakko IPA and Momotobi Penguin? Why does this lineup suddenly sound like an aquarium?
Hop BroThat’s Himitsu Beer doing a session IPA and a peach beer, plus VERTERE bringing a hazy and a West Coast IPA. The best part is the staff-picked selection feels personal, not random.
MugiSlow down, professor. What even is a session IPA? Is it for people who want a very long conversation with their pint?
Hop BroBasically, yes. It’s an IPA built to stay easy-drinking at lower strength, and hazy means cloudy and juicy. On top of that, there’s HNB happy hour until 7 p.m. on the house brewery drafts.
MugiAnd the food list is ridiculous. Chilled oden, smoked macaroni salad, sardine tempura, and then suddenly butter chicken curry enters like a surprise final boss.
Hop BroThen on August 22 and 23 comes the Daisen G Beer takeover. Award-winning beers, brewer Hide in the house both days, and a full taps-bottles-food combo.
MugiThat settles it. I want to start with HNB and work my way to the early guest pours. I need a pint now and maybe a second one for research.
Golden Garden, a beer pub in Hiroshima's Shintenchi district, announced a refresh to both its draft and bottle lineup during its Obon one-person operation. Two HNB draft beers were kicked and replaced with new selections, while BLACK TIDE BREWING's orange-based fruit lager and Daisen Brewery's India Pale Saison were put on early release.
The bottle shop now carries Racco IPA and Momotobi Penguin from Himitsu Beer in Mie, plus a Hazy and a West Coast IPA from VERTERE in Tokyo. The staff said these were breweries they personally wanted to drink, which fits the bar's straightforward, beer-focused approach.
On the service side, the bar planned to open early once preparations were finished and to stay open until 11 p.m., with the option to extend if guests remained. Happy hour runs until 7 p.m., with draft beers from in-house brewery HIROSHIMA NEIGHBORLY BREWING offered at a better price. Food options include chilled oden, smoked macaroni salad, sardine tempura, char siu, Yamagata-style dashi tofu, and butter chicken curry.
Golden Garden also announced a Daisen G Beer tap takeover for Aug. 22 and 23. The lineup will feature award-winning beers, and brewer Hide will visit on both days.
