RAKU BEER posts Aug. 24 tap list with nine beers from HNB, Faló and more
RAKU BEER in Hiroshima’s Mikawa-cho shared its Aug. 24 tap list. The lineup is led by two beers from HIROSHIMA NEIGHBORLY BREWING and also includes Faló Brewing, Shonan Beer, Nara Brewing, and other Japanese craft names across nine drafts.
Hop BroWhat caught my eye is RAKU BEER in Hiroshima putting out a 9-tap lineup for August 24. It is easy to drop by from lunchtime, but the tap list is seriously strong.
MugiWhat? A daytime drinking lineup with nine beers? For a standing bar, that is the kind of menu that makes my brain start foaming before the beer does!
Hop BroThe core is two beers from HIROSHIMA NEIGHBORLY BREWING: `LATITUDE 234` as a Session IPA and `Lemoblu GO HIROSHIMA` as a Golden Ale. Both have high drinkability and are easy to start with.
MugiWhat is that? High drinkability sounds like a sports coach barged into a beer conversation!
Hop BroBasically, it means light and easy to keep sipping. A Session IPA has good aroma without getting too heavy, and a Golden Ale stays bright and gentle, so it is perfect for the first glass.
MugiOhh! Then what comes next? I want to know how far the range across nine kegs really goes!
Hop Bro`Fuego` from Faló Brewing is a Mexican Lager, `CHARM` from Nara Brewing is a Hazy IPA, and Shonan Beer’s `Summer Orange Ale` is a Fruit Ale. Then you even get `Utopia` from RIO BREWING & CO., so it is a total style traffic jam in the best way.
MugiHold on, hold on, there is GRANDLINE BREWING’s `VERY VERY BERRY` and even Mimasaka Beer Works’ `Sakekasu Special Ale`? This menu is overloaded and I do not have enough glasses!
Hop BroA Hazy IPA is cloudy and soft with juicy aroma, while a Fruited Sour Ale pushes the berry tartness forward. `Sakekasu Special Ale` uses sake lees to add depth and aroma, giving it a Japanese twist.
MugiI get it now: start light, move into aromatic stuff, hit something sour, then settle down at the end. If KIRIN BEER’s `Heartland` is waiting as the Pilsner, that feels planned through the finish!
Hop BroExactly. It is easy to compare a few pours, and with sister shop Goldengarden closed, it is an easy first stop in Mikawacho. I would absolutely go for a three-beer daytime run.
MugiThat settles it! I want to start with `LATITUDE 234`, hit `VERY VERY BERRY` in the middle, and finish with `Heartland`. My throat is ready now, so Hop Bro, let’s at least rehearse the toast!
