BEER BAR Bitter Taps Five Beers for September 19
BEER BAR Bitter in Iidabashi, Tokyo, has announced a five-beer tap list for September 19, 2026. The selection spans a Belgian witbier, a Japanese pilsner, a Spanish hazy IPA, an American West Coast IPA, and a Tokyo collaboration bitter, alongside a food menu designed for beer pairing.
Hop BroBEER BAR Bitter in Iidabashi is pouring five distinctive taps on September 19 for the Akagi Shrine festival.
MugiWhat! A beer-pub stop on festival day sounds perfect. We can enjoy the Akagi Shrine festival too!
Hop BroFirst up is Vedett Extra White, a crisp Belgian witbier that makes a great, easy first glass.
MugiDoes “white ale” mean the beer is actually white? If it had milk in it, I’d double-check the foam!
Hop BroNo milk involved. It often uses wheat, which gives Belgian-style beers a pale, cloudy look: wheat-driven cloudiness, basically.
MugiOh, nice! Then there’s Yokohama Bay Brewing’s Bay Pilsner. A food-friendly crisp finish sounds like it gets along with everything.
Hop BroExactly. That crispness means the finish clears quickly, so it suits beef-tendon beer stew or pork pie. Its palate-resetting power is terrific.
MugiVarietal’s Meander from Spain is a hazy IPA? That already sounds like a hop-aroma festival!
Hop Bro“Hazy” means cloudy, with a soft mouthfeel. In contrast, Trap Door’s Dream Junior is a West Coast IPA with a clean hop outline.
MugiSo IPAs have a soft type and a sharply defined type? The beer world just started a personality quiz!
Hop BroThe closer is Ordinary Bitter, a collaboration with Aboardi Good Beer. This Tokyo-made beer balances gentle malt and bitterness: a friendly English-style bitter.
MugiWitbier, pilsner, two IPA personalities, and a Tokyo bitter—after the festival, I want a five-beer tasting flight at Bitter!
Hop BroI’m curious about the Shine Muscat and prosciutto too. Check availability with the bar, then toast to a festival-day pint!
MugiYes—let’s start with something refreshing! I want to toast in Iidabashi with all that festival excitement!
