Golden Garden's draft lineup gets a major overhaul, with HNB back and four new beers on tap
The beer pub Golden Garden in Hiroshima's Shintenchi announced on Instagram that its draft lineup has undergone a major rotation. Alongside HNB's return, beers such as 'Sakura Momo Drops,' 'AGE AGE SAME AGE,' 'Mikan Saison,' and 'Hop Treasure' have appeared, with business hours from 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. and the following day set as a closing day.
Hop BroThat all the kegs have been completely swapped out at Golden Garden in Hiroshima's Shintenchi is a pretty hot development. With HNB back plus four new releases lined up, today's lineup feels instantly brighter.
MugiWhoa! Almost everything got replaced? That's such a bold move! A beer pub can change its whole scene that quickly?
Hop BroExactly. The star this time is HNB's comeback, and what's nice is that 'Sakura Momo Drops' is on tap. It's a Belgian White made with salted cherry blossoms and peaches, with a softly sweet aroma.
MugiA Belgian White? What is that, a white beer? Suddenly the fancy beer terms are coming at me!
Hop BroIn simple terms, it's a gentle, wheat-based beer. It tends to bring out spice-like and citrus notes, and this one leans into a spring-like impression with cherry blossom and peach nuances.
MugiOhhh! So what kind of beer is Repubrew's AGE AGE SAME AGE? Even the name sounds quirky, so I'm curious!
Hop BroThis is a dark lager brewed by friends of the same generation. It's a lager with a deep color, and it should be much easier to drink than it looks, because it has roast-like aroma along with a crisp finish.
MugiWhat is that, suddenly it's super reliable! And with Mikan Saison and Hop Treasure too, it's basically a fruit paradise!
Hop BroThat's the best part. KARIYA 75 BREWING's Mikan Saison has a soft mouthfeel with the sweetness of mikan, and Nagisa Beer's Hop Treasure is a juicy, fruity hazy pale ale. It's a really fun lineup to compare side by side.
MugiAn appetizer platter plus oyster hot pot and fried oysters? That's basically a win, right? It's sneaky how strong the food is too, not just the beer.
Hop BroAnd because the house-brewed beers are on happy hour until 7:00 p.m., it's a pretty sweet time window if you're after Golden Garden's draft beer. The shop is open from 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., and the next day is a closing day, so if you're going, today's the day to go all in.
MugiNow I totally want to go drink there! Just hearing a major draft rotation makes me excited, and tonight I want to toast at Golden Garden!
In Golden Garden's latest post, the Hiroshima Shintenchi beer pub says that "almost all of the kegs have been replaced." The lineup inside has been refreshed all at once with beers from Tokyo's CRAFT ROCK BREWING, Shizuoka's Repubrew, Mie's Ise Kadoya Brewery, and HIROSHIMA NEIGHBORLY BREWING.
The standout is HNB's new release, 'Sakura Momo Drops.' It is introduced as a Belgian White-style beer made with salted cherry blossoms and peaches, designed to deliver sweetness and a fruity aroma. Repubrew's 'AGE AGE SAME AGE' is a dark lager brewed by beer people of the same generation. Mie's Ise Kadoya Brewery has brought in its 'Classic Pale Ale,' KARIYA 75 BREWING's 'Mikan Saison' is a saison that foregrounds a soft drinkability and the sweetness of mikan mandarin, and Nagisa Beer's 'Hop Treasure' rounds out the list as a juicy, fruity hazy pale ale.
Elsewhere, HNB RED IPA is down to the last few, and cans from West Coast Brewing have also arrived. The food menu includes an assorted snack plate, oyster hot pot with soy-milk dashi, fried oysters, and hayashi rice, making it easy to pair beer with a meal. Draft beer from the house-brewed HIROSHIMA NEIGHBORLY BREWING is included in happy hour until 7:00 p.m. As of the post, business hours are 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., and the next day is a closing day.
