Raisindou in Ibaraki updates taps with Baeren, Ise Kadoya, and more
BEER & MUSIC Cafe Raisindou's August 20 Instagram post laid out the day's taps and upcoming additions. Baeren, Ise Kadoya Beer, Iwate Kura Beer, and a REPUBREW x open air brewing collaboration were all in the mix, alongside notice of tickets for the Ibaraki Bakuon Festival 2026 on October 3-4.
Hop BroIbaraki’s Raisindo dropped a seriously strong tap lineup for August 20. Baeren, Isekadoya, Iwatekura Beer, and REPUBREW × open air brewing are all on it, which is basically a reflex test for craft beer fans.
MugiWhat! Raisindo already sounds interesting, and they’ve got that kind of lineup? It’s a cafe, but that roster feels like a mini beer festival warm-up!
Hop BroThe highlights include Baeren Brewery’s amber lager, Iwatekura Beer’s “Raspberry Pink,” REPUBREW × open air brewing’s “THUNDERSTRUCK IPA,” and Isekadoya Beer’s “Neko ni Hiki.” They’ve also got draft Pilsner Urquell and SORACHI 1984.
MugiHold on, amber lager I get, but what is “Neko ni Hiki”? That name is so cute my brain stopped processing the beer part!
Hop BroHere’s the good part: the whole setup works. The article says it spans from lagers to fruit beer, so it’s easy to pick based on mood, whether you want something light, aromatic, or a little wild.
MugiOh wow! But once terms like hazy IPA and spice IPA show up, it turns into a technical jargon storm and my brain turns into foam!
Hop BroSimple version: a hazy IPA is cloudy and juicy-smelling, while a spice IPA has an extra twist of aroma or bite. It sounds complicated, but for drinkers it really just means fragrant, distinctive, and delicious.
MugiOkay, that I get! So Raisindo is basically a pick-by-your-mood bar. I could go tart and refreshing with raspberry, or boost my energy with an IPA, and spend forever deciding!
Hop BroAnd the next arrivals look strong too: Isekadoya’s “Electro Squash Sour IPA,” Baeren’s “Alchemist’s Golden Lager” and “Classic,” plus Minoh Beer’s Peach Weizen. They’re also promoting Ibaraki Bakuon Fest 2026 on October 3 and 4, so they’re clearly coming for our wallets.
MugiAnd the food lineup too, with eisbein, margherita, smoked snacks, and zangi? That’s such a settle in and drink spot. I can already see myself saying, “Just one more,” three times in a row!
Hop BroThat future feels extremely likely. Start with Baeren’s lager, detour into THUNDERSTRUCK IPA, then finish with Pilsner Urquell and call it a very respectable plan.
MugiThat settles it, I totally want to do a tasting flight at Raisindo and track the next arrivals too. After reading this, both my stomach and my throat are fully on beer standby!
