BEER BAR Bitter lines up five taps and bone-in chicken on July 1
BEER BAR Bitter in Iidabashi opens at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, July 1, with five draft beers, including Vedett Extra White and YOKOHAMA BAY BREWING’s BAY PILSNER Hallatau, plus its signature bone-in chicken and seasonal small plates.
Hop BroBEER BAR Bitter in Iidabashi has a 4 p.m. opening on July 1 today. Five taps plus signature food is exactly the kind of setup you want when you're ready to drink properly.
MugiWait, a beer post and the food is already stealing the show? That famous bone-in chicken being prepped in extra batches is dangerous for my stomach and my self-control!
Hop BroThat's peak Bitter. This five-tap lineup runs from Vedett Extra White to YOKOHAMA BAY BREWING's BAY PILSNER Hallatau, Collective Arts' Ransack the Universe, Bellwoods' Roman Candle, and Pacific Brewing's Wald.
MugiWhoa! But with white, pilsner, IPA, and a dark one all on deck, the first pour suddenly feels like a major life decision!
Hop BroIf you're easing in, Vedett Extra White is a good start. It's soft on the palate, kind of like a warm-up stretch before you dive into the chicken.
MugiHold on, what's the difference between West Coast IPA in Ransack the Universe and the Hazy IPA in Roman Candle? Those names sound like festival headliners!
Hop BroThe easy way to think about it is range of aroma and bitterness. West Coast IPA is crisp and sharply bitter, while Hazy IPA is softer, cloudier, and juicier.
MugiOkay... then what exactly is this thing called Schwarz? It sounds like a spell, like if I say it three times a dark beer appears!
Hop BroNot far off. Schwarz is a German-style dark beer, and the key is calm roasted malt. You get toasty, coffee-like notes without it turning heavy, so it works well with food.
MugiAnd on top of that, there's bone-in chicken, red cabbage with takuan and tuna salad, plus tomato and sudachi dashi-soak... seasonal small plates this strong means one drink is absolutely not enough!
Hop BroExactly, and with sansho-simmered edamame, peach pineapple with prosciutto, pork pie, cottage pie, and fries, it's built for back-and-forth pairing between food and beer all night.
MugiNope, I'm done pretending to be calm. Both of us right now want to head to Iidabashi, start with the white or the pilsner, and finish on the Schwarz!
