BEER BAR Bitter shares July 2 tap list with Vedett and YOKOHAMA BAY BREWING
BEER BAR Bitter, a beer pub in Iidabashi, Tokyo, posted its July 2 service notice along with the day’s tap list. The lineup spans a Belgian wheat beer, a Japanese pilsner, a West Coast IPA, a hazy IPA, and a Schwarz.
Hop BroI’ve got a good one today: BEER BAR Bitter in Iidabashi is opening at 4 p.m. on July 2 with five taps pouring.
MugiWait, a 4 p.m. opening? That’s dangerously convenient. Wander around Kagurazaka and suddenly you’re in a beer seat?
Hop BroAnd the lineup has range. It goes from the Belgian white beer Vedett Extra White all the way to a dark lager.
MugiWhoa, but West Coast IPA and Hazy IPA already sound like they bench-press flavor.
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. A West Coast IPA has defined hop character with sharper bitterness, and Ransack Universe fits that lane.
MugiDefined character? Does beer have a face now? Then Hazy IPA is like a sleepy, foggy-face beer?
Hop BroRoughly correct, but wildly unscientific. Hazy means a softer mouthfeel from the haze, and Bellwoods’ Roman Candle sounds like the juicy one in the group.
MugiWhat is this, I suddenly need all of them. So what job does Schwarz do? It sounds like the final boss.
Hop BroSchwarz means black in German, but it’s not necessarily heavy. Pacific Brewing’s Wald should give you roastiness and drinkability at the same time.
MugiAnd if they’ve got pork and clams Portuguese-style plus fries, then beer and food pairing is going to get out of hand fast.
Hop BroExactly. Start with YOKOHAMA BAY BREWING’s BAY PILSNER Hallatau, detour through the IPAs, then finish on the dark one. That flow is clean.
MugiThat is too good. Tonight is clearly an Iidabashi tasting run and honestly, my soul is already seated at the bar.
July 2 service notice and tap list
BEER BAR Bitter in Iidabashi, Tokyo, posted that it would be open from 16:00 on July 2 and shared the beers and dishes available that day. The post also noted that Kagurazaka was in the middle of festival season, making it an easy stop for an early evening beer.
Five beers were listed on tap: Vedett Extra White, YOKOHAMA BAY BREWING’s BAY PILSNER Hallatau, Collective Arts’ Lansack Universe in the West Coast IPA style, Bellwoods’ Roman Candle as a Hazy IPA, and Pacific Brewing’s Wald, a Schwarz. The selection covers a broad range of beer styles, from a crisp pilsner and a Belgian white to hop-forward and darker options.
The food menu included Portuguese-style pork and clams, simmered tomatoes and sudachi, edamame cooked with Japanese pepper, baked fèves with cheese, peach pineapple with prosciutto, pork pie, cottage pie, and fries. The dishes lean toward salt, acidity, and savory flavors, which makes them natural partners for rotating tap beers.
As a beer pub, BEER BAR Bitter looks built for relaxed drinking with food, and this post shows a lineup that should work well for both light sampling and a more substantial meal.
