BEER & MUSIC Cafe Raisendo in Ibaraki, Osaka announced its March 31 draft list on Instagram.

Hop BroRaisendo's draft list in Ibaraki, Osaka is seriously stacked on March 31. It has that BEER & MUSIC Cafe vibe where beer, music, and food all get equal billing.
MugiWhat, seven kegs!? And Baeren Brewery is the centerpiece? That alone has me hooked!
Hop BroExactly. The stars are two limited Baeren beers: Onmenburoi, a Dunkel Rauch Bock, and Chocolate Stout. With roasty aromas and malt character, it's a dream lineup for dark-beer fans.
MugiDun-kel... rauch... bock? That sounds like a spell and now my brain is all foam!
Hop BroSimply put, it's a dark beer with a smoky character. Dunkel means dark, Rauch means smoked, and Bock is a fuller-bodied stronger lager, so the result is toasty and deep.
MugiI see! So Ise Kadoya Beer’s Fresh-Pressed Beyond the Pacific is the totally refreshing option, right?
Hop BroExactly. Since it's a West Coast Pilsner, the hop aroma comes forward while still keeping the easy drinkability of a pilsner. There’s also Dot Crimson Brewing’s Dot Crimson 103 Pale Ale and Iwate Kura Beer’s English IPA, so it’s a fun lineup for side-by-side tasting.
MugiAnd they even have Pilsner Urquell and SORACHI 1984, so the classic lineup is strong too. Having bold picks and reassuring staples at the same table feels almost unfair!
Hop BroThat's what makes Raisendo feel like Raisendo. There’s a solid tasting framework, with everything from Czech staples to distinctive Japanese craft pours, so both beginners and seasoned drinkers will have plenty to talk about.
MugiThe food is great too, with ragù spaghetti and smoked assortments and lots of beer-friendly dishes. The more you eat, the more you want to drink, right?
Hop BroExactly. An evening in Ibaraki chasing Baeren limited releases is a very good choice. If I went, I'd start with a dark beer and finish with Sorachi too.
MugiI want to start with a pilsner and then get lost with some smoked cheese! I can't stop thinking that I want to go drink right now!
