RAKU BEER publishes August 14 tap list with new pours on taps 1 and 6
RAKU BEER in Hiroshima's Mikawacho released its tap list for Friday, August 14, from 14:00 to 21:00. Taps 1 and 6 are new, with beers from Hiroshima Neighborly Brewing, Choryo Craft Beer, CRAFTROCK BREWING, and more.
Hop BroToday's topic is RAKU BEER's new taps. They posted the August 14 list for 2:00-9:00 p.m., and taps 1 and 6 are brand-new.
MugiWhat! Two fresh kegs already has me hyped! Which beers are the new ones?
Hop BroLATITUDE 234 is a Session IPA from HIROSHIMA NEIGHBORLY BREWING, 4.5% ABV with lychee and three hops for a light finish. Tap 6 is Minoh Beer's Peach Weizen Early Harvest Ver., a Fruit Weizen.
MugiHold on, Session IPA sounds intense, so why does it also sound easygoing?
Hop BroThat's the fun part. Think of it as a crushable IPA: plenty of aroma, lower alcohol, and perfect for your first glass on a hot day.
MugiOhhh! So it's basically an opening-round IPA! The second you said lychee, my brain started playing tropical festival music.
Hop BroAnd the range is huge, with breweries from Hiroshima, Nara, and Tokyo. CHORYO Craft Beer's NARA CRASH is a Rice Lager, CRAFTROCK's Smells Like Swan Spirit is a Cold IPA, and NOVORU's Tagiru is a West Coast Pale Ale. It's a style traffic jam in the best way.
MugiWhat even is a Cold IPA? That's not just an IPA that spent extra time in the fridge, right?!
Hop BroClose, but the name fools people. It's more like a snappy, dry IPA with lager-like crispness and hop aroma working together. Then you've also got NUDE BEER's Kodama Wood Aged Saison with Citrus, GRANDLINE BREWING's VERY VERY BERRY, and KIRIN BEER's Heartland.
MugiWait, so there's a Shonan Beer collab saison, a berry sour ale, and you can finish on Heartland too? Even friends who aren't beer nerds could have fun there!
Hop BroExactly. RAKU BEER also has meat dishes, lemon sour, and highballs, so it's easy for mixed groups. That's why it feels like one of Hiroshima's dependable go-to spots.
MugiAlright, I'm sold! I want to go from tap 1 onward and compare everything from LATITUDE 234 to the peach weizen.
Hop BroThat's the move. I'd lock in taps 1 and 6 first, then slide in NARA CRASH and Tagiru along the way. This is a pour-it-now lineup for sure.
