Hiroshima's hangout opens at 5 p.m. on May 15, with eight TAROS BREWING taps on pour
Beer pub hangout in Shintenchi, Naka Ward, Hiroshima City, will be open on Friday, May 15 from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. In the post, eight TAROS BREWING beers were lined up on tap, with a wide range of styles confirmed from West Coast Pilsner to Sour Ale and Black Sour Ale.
Hop BroThe beer pub hangout in Hiroshima's Shintenchi is coming in strong with a 5:00 p.m. opening on May 15. And with eight TAROS BREWING taps lined up, it's going to be a very fun day.
MugiWhoa, eight different beers at once!? Is that something even a beginner like me is allowed to do, like a tasting flight?
Hop BroOf course. And the lineup is great too, with a West Coast Pilsner, a TDH Hazy IPA, and even a Double IPA, so you can experience both crispness and richness in one go.
MugiWait, wait, what's a TDH Hazy IPA!? That sounds like a spell, and my brain is starting to foam up!
Hop BroTDH stands for "triple dry hop," a method that adds a lot of hops later in the process to boost aroma. Hazy IPA is the murkier style, where juiciness tends to come forward, so it's for people who want to enjoy the aroma.
MugiI see, so it's packed with aroma! But a sour with lemon and chamomile, or an apple pie-style sour, suddenly feels like a fancy cafe, and now I'm curious!
Hop BroThat's what's interesting about TAROS BREWING: it has a playful side to sour flavors too. Sour Ale with Lemon, Chamomile leans refreshing, while Apple Pie Sour brings out sweet-and-tart associations, so even though they're both sours, their personalities are completely different.
MugiSo there are dark ones too? After everything you've said, Black Sour Ale suddenly feels like the final boss of the night!
Hop BroThere is, and that broad lineup is one of the highlights of the day. It shows off everything at once, from lager-like crispness to hazy juiciness, sour tartness, and the richness of dark styles, so even just thinking about the order to drink them is fun.
MugiThe shop also said there would be a schedule change on May 30, right? Stuff like that is dangerous if you don't check before going!
Hop BroExactly. For hangout, checking the operating notice is important, because in addition to being closed on Mondays, hours can change because of brewing work. They also accept premium gift certificates, and they've even got that mysterious dog as a landmark, so there are plenty of reasons to have a drink in Shintenchi.
MugiAll right, I'm starting with a drink after work! But before that, I'm already torn between going in with a lager or bouncing over to a sour, and now my stomach is growling!
Hop BroNice. Let's make it a night of tasting beers. If we go in at 5:00 p.m. and work our way through aroma, tartness, and dark beer in order, by the end both of us will probably be calling out for TAROS BREWING with our throats.
Operating details for May 15
The Hiroshima Shintenchi beer pub `hangout` announced that it will be open on Friday, May 15, from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. The post also noted that part of the operating schedule had changed, and that on Saturday, May 30, hours would be moved from a 12:00 p.m. opening to a 4:00 p.m. opening, with lunch service closed.
Tap lineup for the day
The day's "NOW ON TAP" featured eight beers from TAROS BREWING. The lineup was `HAKUNA MATATA / West Coast Pilsner`, `AWAKENING#4 / TDH Hazy IPA`, `INNOCENCE2026 / Sour Ale with Lemon,Chamomile`, `TOPOLOGY#10 / DDH Hazy IPA`, `TEMPEST / Double IPA`, `GHOST NOTE#4 / TDH Hazy IPA`, `SUCKER PUNCH#3 / Apple Pie Sour`, and `HARMORHYTHM / Black Sour Ale`. The flavor range was quite broad, spanning the crispness of lager-style beers, the juiciness of hazy IPAs, a sour with lemon and chamomile, and a sour reminiscent of apple pie.
What to enjoy alongside the shop's character
hangout started in 2014 as a beer specialty shop and later went on to brew as well. The post also mentions that premium gift certificates can be used, and that the shop uses a mysterious "dog" as its landmark. In central Hiroshima City, its appeal lies in being a beer pub where you can easily build anything from a drink after work to a tasting session while checking TAROS BREWING's current tap situation as it is.
Because it is closed on Mondays, and may also close for brewing schedules, it is best to check social media before visiting. If there are no guests at 9:00 p.m., the shop may close early, so if you are going late, it is better to leave some time to spare.
Information may be inaccurate. Please refer to the venue’s official channels for the latest details.
