BEER BAR Bitter Lists Five Distinct Taps for September 23
BEER BAR Bitter, a craft beer pub in Iidabashi, Tokyo, has shared its tap list for September 23. The selection spans Belgian wheat beer, a New Zealand hop pilsner, two American-style IPAs, and a Tokyo-made Ordinary Bitter.
Hop BroA rainy day in Iidabashi is exactly when I’d drop into BEER BAR Bitter’s five taps. It’s a fun tasting trip from Belgium all the way to Tokyo.
MugiWhat, five beers on a rainy day? That’s a world tour of beer! I’ll want to toast the second I close my umbrella!
Hop BroStart with Belgium’s Vedett Extra White. It’s a light, refreshing wheat beer—perfect for the first glass.
MugiDoes wheat beer look white, or do I need to wear white clothes to drink it? I need to know what wheat beer is!
Hop BroWear whatever you like! It often uses wheat and can look lightly cloudy from yeast. In other words, enjoy wheat’s soft character.
MugiWow! Next is Coedo from Kagawa? NZ Hop Pilsner suddenly sounds like a magic spell!
Hop BroThat one is Coero. It layers the crisp finish of a pilsner with fragrant New Zealand hops—basically a crisp aromatic pour.
MugiAnd there are two IPAs! Hazy versus West Coast—aren’t they both IPA? Their personalities are wildly different!
Hop BroBarebottle Riwakaable Cities is a juicy, hazy Hazy IPA, while Trap Door Dream Junior is a clean, bitter West Coast IPA. That means an IPA face-off tasting.
MugiThen there’s the Tokyo-made collaboration, Ordinary! Its gentle maltiness should pair beautifully with chikuwa-and-nori potato salad. The perfect rainy-night pairing—I want to go drink now!
BEER BAR Bitter in Tsukudacho, Shinjuku, Tokyo, has announced a five-beer tap list for September 23, 2026. Despite the rainy final day of Silver Week, the Iidabashi beer pub is offering a broad range of styles.
The lineup opens with Vedett Extra White, a Belgian white ale known for its refreshing character. From Kagawa comes Koelo by Auroi Koelo, a New Zealand Hop Pilsner that combines a crisp pilsner profile with expressive hop aromatics.
The United States is represented by Bear Bottle’s Rewaker Blue Cities, listed as a Hazy IPA, and Trap Door’s Dream Junior, a West Coast IPA. Together, they offer a comparison between juicy haze-driven hop flavor and a sharper, more bitterness-forward IPA profile.
Also on tap is Ordinary, an Ordinary Bitter made as a collaboration between Aboldiggoodbeer and BEER BAR Bitter. Brewed in Tokyo, it provides a malt-led, balanced alternative to the more hop-intensive beers on the list.
Food options include potato salad with chikuwa and nori, chili beans, oolong tea peanuts, daikon with mustard dressing, and a dish featuring fresh ginger, dried baby sardines, and sakura shrimp. With tomorrow announced as a day off, September 23 is a timely opportunity to enjoy the varied taps and casual food pairing at this Iidabashi beer pub.
