Golden Garden taps Namachan Brewing’s Rauch and a TOTOPIA x Amakusa Sonar Hazy Pale Ale
Golden Garden, a beer pub in Hiroshima’s Shintenchi district, announced two guest beers: Namachan Brewing’s Rauch and a collaborative Hazy Pale Ale from TOTOPIA Brewery and Amakusa Sonar Beer. The post also highlighted happy hour on house draft beer and a bottle restock.
Hop BroThere’s a fun new tap takeover at Golden Garden in Hiroshima. They’ve opened Namachan Brewing’s Rauch and a collab Hazy Pale Ale from TOTOPIA BREWERY × Amakusa Sonar Beer.
MugiWhat! Those are two wildly different pours. One sounds like campfire mode, and the other sounds like it came back from a music festival.
Hop BroThat contrast is exactly the point. Rauch is a classic smoked beer style, made with smoked malt, so you get bacon-like, toasty, bonfire aromas right away.
MugiHold on, smoked malt situation? So the beer is basically sneaking in dressed like barbecue?
Hop BroPretty much, yeah. If I get nerdy, I’d call it layers of smoke aroma, but in plain terms, it’s a savory, fragrant beer that sticks in your memory after one sip.
MugiOkay, that sounds good. Then what about the Hazy Pale Ale? Every time I hear “hazy,” I picture beer wandering through fog.
Hop BroThat’s not far off. It has a soft cloudy body and juicy hop aroma, and this one’s extra interesting because it’s a TOTOPIA × Amakusa Sonar collab made for Fuji Rock.
MugiSo it’s basically a festival in a glass. One beer for dramatic campfire feelings, one beer for dancing in your head. My brain is thirsty already.
Hop BroAnd Golden Garden is built for that kind of detour. They’ve got 8 draft taps and 100+ bottles, plus a bottle shop, happy hour on HIROSHIMA NEIGHBORLY BREWING drafts until 7 p.m., and even a restock of 隣期桜変 bottles.
MugiThat is dangerously convenient. It sounds like the perfect after-work stop, and now I want to start with the Rauch, then chase it with the hazy one. I really want a drink.

In the post, the bar announced two guest beers:
- Rauch / Namachan Brewing
- Hazy Pale Ale / TOTOPIA Brewery x Amakusa Sonar Beer
The caption describes the Rauch as a smoked beer and frames the Hazy Pale Ale as a collaboration brewed for Fuji Rock. The bar also notes that house draft beers from HIROSHIMA NEIGHBORLY BREWING are discounted during happy hour until 7 p.m., and that Rinkiouhen bottles have been restocked.
Located just north of Don Quijote in Shintenchi, Golden Garden is easy to stop by after work. For beer drinkers who want guest taps, house beer, and bottles all in one place, it is a shop worth keeping on the list.
