Raisin Dou in Ibaraki Opens Early on Aug. 14, Highlights Six Drafts
BEER & MUSIC Cafe Raisin Dou in Ibaraki, Osaka, posted its August 14 service notice on Instagram. The pub opens around 4 p.m. and is pouring beers from Iwate Kura, REPUBREW x open air brewing, Isekadoya Brewery, Baeren, and more.
Hop BroToday, Osaka's BEER & MUSIC Cafe Raisendo is doing a 4 p.m. early opening on August 14. With six taps ready, you can start chasing drafts in the late afternoon.
MugiWhat! A daytime draft chance? If I get off work early, that place is basically a tractor beam!
Hop BroAnd the lineup is strong. Iwatekura Beer's Raspberry Pink is a Fruit Beer, and REPUBREW x open air brewing's THUNDERSTRUCK IPA is a Spice IPA collab, so it starts with some real characters.
MugiSpice IPA? What's that! It sounds like an IPA got jumped by a seasoning shelf!
Hop BroStay with me here. A Spice IPA layers spice notes onto hop aroma, so THUNDERSTRUCK IPA ends up with stacked aroma layers and a bigger overall impression.
MugiOhhh! Then Ise Kadoya Brewery's Neko ni Hiki, that Hazy Double IPA, has a cute name but sounds pretty intense inside?
Hop BroThat's basically right. Hazy means cloudy and juicy, and Double IPA means more strength and body, so Neko ni Hiki's pressure probably comes through even before the first sip.
MugiWow, so I'm getting stared down by cats and beer now? And Baeren Brewery's Classic says Dortmunder style, which feels like surprise homework!
Hop BroDortmunder is a German-style lager with more malt fullness than a pilsner, while still staying easy to drink. Add draft Pilsner Urquell and Suntory Kaoru Ale, and you've got a wide-ranging six-tap setup.
MugiAnd the food goes from bonito marinade and eisbein to pizza and smoked dishes? This place is a music-and-beer basecamp... I can already picture my first glass.
Hop BroPlus the coming-up list has Tsunagu Beer Kohaku-iro no Lager, Electro Squash Sour IPA, and SORACHI 1984 waiting in the wings. A place with a next pint preview this strong has me ready to drink too.
MugiAt Raisendo, I want raspberry fruit beer first, hazy second, and a lager to finish. I want to toast right now, so somebody warp the clock to 4 p.m.!
