Hiroshima's hangout early-opens new Imperial Red Ale ARTEMIS, with eight beers on tap
Hangout, a beer pub in Hiroshima's Naka Ward, opened from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Tuesday, June 2. The bar pre-released its new Imperial Red Ale, ARTEMIS, and poured a lineup of eight beers including TDH Hazy IPAs and sour ales.
Hop BroHiroshima’s hangout had an ARTEMIS preview pour on June 2, running from 5 PM to 10 PM, with eight taps including the new release.
MugiWait, before release? Drinking it early already sounds like a very dangerous excuse for me to go.
Hop BroAnd the star, ARTEMIS, is an Imperial Red Ale at 7.0% ABV. Very fitting for a spot attached to TAROS BREWING.
MugiWow, but blood orange, pine resin, and pear? That is a lot for one beer. Am I ordering a pint or walking into a forest market?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. With Amarillo, Cryo Citra, Nelson Sauvin, and several caramel malts, it builds a full body with layered aroma and depth.
MugiHold on, what even is Cryo? And those names like WRATH OF THEM#2 and AWAKENING#4... TDH Hazy IPA sounds like a secret code.
Hop BroTDH means triple dry-hopped, so they load in hops after fermentation to boost the aroma hard. Cryo is basically a more concentrated hop form.
MugiOkay, so it’s like hop concentrate. And there are sours too, right? INNOCENCE2026 with lemon and chamomile, plus apple-pie-like SUCKER PUNCH3? Sweet-tooth bait for sure.
Hop BroExactly. GHOST NOTE#4 is down to its last keg, SUCKER PUNCH3 too, and with Coconut Vanilla IPL plus DDH Hazy IPA in the mix, it’s a wide range of styles.
MugiAfter hearing that, I’m done resisting. I want to check their socials and go drink now.
Hop BroJust keep the Monday closure and brewing schedule in mind, but yes, this feels urgent. That candy-like finish on ARTEMIS sounds like something I need in a glass.
Hangout, a beer pub in the Shinntenchi area of Hiroshima's Naka Ward, opened on Tuesday, June 2 from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. As a venue attached to TAROS BREWING, the bar's tap list reflects the brewery's house character in a direct way.
The headline beer of the day was ARTEMIS, a new release poured ahead of its official launch. It is an Imperial Red Ale at 7.0% ABV, brewed with Amarillo, Cryo Citra, Cryo Mosaic, Chinook, and Nelson Sauvin. The brewery describes it with notes of blood orange, pine resin, and pear, layered with caramel, brown sugar, and a long finish that recalls amber candy and orange peel. The beer is built on several kinds of caramel malt, giving it a solid body.
The full `NOW ON TAP` lineup also included:
- `WRATH OF THEM#2 / TDH Hazy IPA`
- `WAVE FLOWER#3 / Coconut Vanilla IPL`
- `AWAKENING#4 / TDH Hazy IPA`
- `INNOCENCE2026 / Sour Ale with Lemon,Chamomile`
- `TOPOLOGY#10 / DDH Hazy IPA`
- `GHOST NOTE#4 / TDH Hazy IPA` (last keg)
- `SUCKER PUNCH3 / Apple Pie Sour` (last keg)
With two beers down to their final keg and styles ranging from hop-forward Hazy IPAs to a lemon-and-chamomile sour and an apple pie-inspired sour, the board offered a wide spread for drinkers who like to compare different expressions side by side. Hangout is closed on Mondays, and hours may change depending on brewing schedules, so checking the bar's social media before visiting is the safest move.
