BEER BAR Bitter opens at 16:00 with 20th anniversary beer and five taps
BEER BAR Bitter in Kagurazaka/Iidabashi opens at 16:00 on Friday, August 21. The bar is also offering cans of its 20th anniversary beer, along with five taps including Vedett Extra White and Burnish Festbier.
Hop BroBEER BAR Bitter in Kagurazaka opens at 4 p.m. today, and they even have a 20th anniversary beer ready. That is very much my kind of news.
MugiWait, what? A bar with cans too? Twenty years in business sounds ancient in beer years, in the best way!
Hop BroAnd the lineup is solid: Vedett Extra White, Burnish Festbier, ORDINARY, OUTDOORSIE, and Jurassic Juice. That's five taps with a nice flow.
MugiHold on, those names sound intense. What even is Festbier? Beer that shows up already wearing a party hat?
Hop BroHonestly, that's not far off. Festbier drinks like an easy lager, and Vedett Extra White is a white beer with soft wheat character, so it's a smooth opener.
MugiOhh, so you can start gentle and build up from there. That's a great drinking flow instead of going straight into hop chaos!
Hop BroExactly. ORDINARY is a collab with Boldi Good Beer, and then OUTDOORSIE steps in as a West Coast IPA with crisp bitterness and bright aroma.
MugiOkay, but wait. West Coast flavor does not mean it tastes like a beach, right? Please tell me there is no sand note.
Hop BroNo seawater involved. West Coast IPA is sharper and drier, while Jurassic Juice is a Hazy IPA that feels softer and juicier. Add watermelon gazpacho or chicken braised in tomato vinegar, and I already want a pour.
MugiThen it's settled: start light, finish juicy, and grab the anniversary can on the way. For a serious drinking night, BEER BAR Bitter sounds dangerously perfect!
BEER BAR Bitter, a beer pub in the Kagurazaka-Iidabashi area, opens at 16:00 on Friday, August 21. Its Instagram post also mentions cans of its 20th anniversary beer, giving the lineup a celebratory touch alongside the day’s draft selection.
Five beers are on tap: Vedett Extra White, a Belgian white; Burnish Festbier from the U.S.; ORDINARY, a collaboration between Boldi Good Beer and BEER BAR Bitter; OUTDOORSIE, presented as a Japanese West Coast IPA; and Jurassic Juice, a U.S. hazy IPA. The range moves naturally from a lighter wheat beer to lager, bitter, and hop-forward IPA styles, making it easy to build a full drinking session.
The food list is equally beer-friendly. Dishes include tomato-vinegar braised bone-in chicken, watermelon gazpacho, stir-fried pumpkin with sesame oil and scallion aroma, kinpira burdock with shochu fragrance, edamame with sansho, Shine Muscat with prosciutto, cottage pie, and frits. It is the kind of pub where you can settle in and keep drinking at a relaxed pace.
The shop is located at Sun Heights Iidabashi 203, 1-14 Tsukudocho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo. For a beer-focused stop in Kagurazaka and Iidabashi, it is a strong option.
