Sports&DiningBar RAVENS taps “Hima Bitter” and introduces four taps
Sports&DiningBar RAVENS in Akabane, Tokyo, announced its new keg beer lineup along with its business hours for Monday, April 13. In addition to the 13th-anniversary collaboration beer “Hima Bitter” from Minamishinshu Beer ogna and Himalaya table, the lineup includes Moretti, Shirohonoka, and O'Hara's 51st State IPA.
Hop BroSports&DiningBar RAVENS in Akabane announced that it would be tapping Hima Bitter on Monday, April 13. A 13th-anniversary collaboration between Minamishinshu Beer ogna and Himalaya table already sounds delicious just from the name.
MugiWhoa! If it’s a 13th-anniversary collaboration, that makes it feel really special. And the name Hima Bitter is cute too. What is that, I want to drink it!
Hop BroAnd get this, it’s a 4% session bitter. It’s easy to drink, but it has that biscuit-like roasted aroma, with peach tea and strawberry-like notes on top, which is what makes it interesting.
MugiBiscuits, peach tea, and strawberries? That’s way too much information for my stomach to process! Can roasted character and fruitiness really coexist like that?
Hop BroThey can. When the toasted, baked-good aroma from the malt overlaps with fruity notes from the yeast and hops, this is the kind of expression you get. And because it’s bitter, it has depth despite being light.
MugiI see! And RAVENS is on the first floor of Akabane Plaza Hotel, right? It’s open from 17:00 to 26:00, so even if I miss the last train, I feel like I could still have one more drink!
Hop BroExactly, being able to drink late is a big plus. They also have Moretti on tap, so starting with something easy to loosen up and settle your throat is a good option.
MugiWait, Moretti is an Italian lager, right? And they even have Shirohonoka alongside it? That lineup suddenly feels way too polished.
Hop BroThat’s right. You can go soft and mellow with Shirohonoka, crisp with Moretti, and then add O'Hara's 51st State IPA to the mix, and the bitter-beer fans will be satisfied too.
MugiAn IPA too? Amazing! It feels like the perfect tasting lineup. I came planning for just one light drink, but there’s no way I’m stopping there!
Hop BroThey’re also offering a banquet course with free drinks across the entire in-house menu, so it works well for both small groups and bigger parties. If you’re drinking late in Akabane, this really gives you every reason to go.
MugiThen it’s settled! I want to raise a toast in Akabane and enjoy Hima Bitter and the tasting lineup all at once!
