Hop BroA tapping update came in from Golden Garden in Hiroshima's Shintenchi. Tokyo Namachan Brewing's "Sakura Smoke Lager" and Swan Lake's "album" are on the lineup, and now I just want to stand in front of the tap and take a deep breath.
MugiWhoa, Sakura Smoke Lager already sounds tasty! But a lager with smoky aroma sounds like a pretty big gap, doesn't it?
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. Even though it has a pilsner-like pale color, the aroma is solidly smoky, and the contrast between the light appearance and the smoky character really works.
MugiSo by pilsner-like, you mean it looks light but smells aromatic? Wait, is this the kind of beer that tricks you with its appearance?
Hop BroExactly. It goes down smoothly, but then a wisp of smoke drifts through your nose. If you like smoky flavors, it's irresistible, and the gap in aroma pulls you right in.
MugiThen I'm curious about the other one, album too! Just hearing that it's a collaboration makes it feel instantly more luxurious and special. That's kind of unfair!
Hop BroThis one was brewed by Swan Lake with Kyoto Yamorido, Wakayama HEIWACRAFT, and KaruizawaQ in Nagano, with four female brewers working together. It's introduced as ALT/5%. They focused on German ingredients, so it looks like a beer that's easy to drink without feeling too heavy.
MugiOhhh! It's a bit hard to parse, but basically it means you can gulp it down and it still has real attention to detail, right? I might really like that!
Hop BroExactly. And Golden Garden apparently ended up ordering a whole batch of smoky beers at once by accident, so they're planning to tap them one by one. Ordering a bunch of smoky beers at once sounds like the manager's brain is already in party mode.
MugiAnd they even have fried oysters and oyster hot pot with soy milk broth! Beer, snacks, more beer, and then more snacks again, and I feel like I wouldn't be able to stop!
Hop BroOn top of that, the happy hour runs until 7 p.m., and you can also enjoy draft beer from their in-house brewery, HIROSHIMA NEIGHBORLY BREWING. Hiroshima nights are pretty dangerous. At this point, we're definitely heading out for a drink.
At the beer pub Golden Garden in Shintenchi, Naka Ward, Hiroshima City, the tapping of two guest beers with smoky aromas has been announced. The post also mentions the recent increase in visitors from overseas, and introduces the new draft lineup together with the atmosphere of the bar.
The beers introduced this time are Tokyo Namachan Brewing's "Sakura Smoke Lager" and Swan Lake's "album". Sakura Smoke Lager is described as having a "pilsner-like pale color, yet a distinctly smoky aroma," and the contrast between its light appearance and its fragrance is striking. For people who enjoy smoky flavors, this is exactly the kind of beer worth paying attention to.
The other beer, "album," is a collaboration brewed by Swan Lake together with Kyoto Yamorido, Wakayama HEIWACRAFT, and KaruizawaQ in Nagano Prefecture, featuring four female brewers. It is introduced as ALT/5%, with an emphasis on German ingredients, so it should offer a pleasantly drinkable character. The post described it as "a beer you can gulp down."
Golden Garden says it accidentally ordered a batch of smoky beers all at once, so they plan to tap them one by one. Since they are arriving one keg at a time, this is something beer fans will want to check out early. Also available are dishes that pair well with beer, such as smoked oyster olive oil, fried oysters, and oyster hot pot with soy milk broth. Another nice point is that the draft beer from their own brewery, HIROSHIMA NEIGHBORLY BREWING, is included in happy hour until 7 p.m.
This is a spot packed with the pleasures of draft beer and food that feel right at home in Hiroshima's craft beer scene. Anyone who wants to compare smoky beers will not want to miss it.
