RAKU BEER posts Hiroshima sake and nine-tap lineup for Aug. 28
RAKU BEER, a beer pub in Mikawacho, Hiroshima, has published its tap list for Friday, August 28. The lineup includes Hiroshima sake and nine beers, with two Hiroshima Neighborly Brewing releases among a mix of styles suited to both after-work pints and tasting flights.
Hop BroToday’s story is that Hiroshima’s RAKU BEER posted nine taps for August 28 for its 2:00-9:00 p.m. service. They’re even pouring local sake, so this is dangerously good after-work material.
MugiWait, local sake too!? Beer with a sake detour sounds like the kind of plan where you absolutely do not go straight home!
Hop BroAnd the local angle is strong. Hiroshima Neighborly Brewing leads with two hometown beers: "LATITUDE 234 / Session IPA" and "Lemoblu GO HIROSHIMA / Golden Ale."
MugiHold on, what is a Session IPA? It sounds like a meeting where the beer shows up with presentation slides!
Hop BroHere’s the idea: a Session IPA is easy to keep drinking while still giving you that IPA hop aroma. It has the character without feeling too heavy, so it fits an after-work pint.
MugiOhhh, then comparing that with the Golden Ale slot sounds like a very risky way to start the night!
Hop BroAnd the rest of the board has range. From Falò Brewing’s "Fuego / Mexican Lager" to Nara Brewing’s "CHARM / Hazy IPA," Ushitora’s "Hop Sniper IPA / West Coast Style IPA," and RIO BREWING & CO.’s "Utopia / Belgian White," the style spread is huge.
MugiWait, Hazy and West Coast are both IPA? That sounds less like beer styles and more like rival music festival stages!
Hop BroHazy IPA is cloudy and juicy, while West Coast IPA is crisp, bitter, and sharp. Then you’ve also got Shonan Beer’s "Summer Orange Ale / Fruit Ale," GRANDLINE BREWING’s "VERY VERY BERRY / Fruited Sour Ale," and KIRIN BEER’s "Heartland / Pilsner," so both aroma fans and sour fans are covered.
MugiSo there’s no escape, huh? From beer to sake in one stop is exactly how "just one drink" becomes a full evening!
Hop BroWith fresh tappings too, RAKU BEER really nails the after-work detour. I’d start with LATITUDE 234, then drift into Hiroshima sake like that was my plan all along.
MugiThat settles it! I want to start with "Utopia" or "VERY VERY BERRY," and now all I can think is I need a drink now!
Today’s taps
RAKU BEER in Hiroshima’s Naka Ward shared its tap list for Friday, August 28, with service hours set for 14:00 to 21:00.
