Hakata Pale Ale - The Perfect Pairing for Japanese Cuisine

Hakata Pale Ale x Hakata Ramen

Hakata Beer & Food

 Hakata Ramen + Bar in Bermondsey brings everything that ramen-ya in Japan are famous for, quality comfort food, served in a vibrant atmosphere with friendly and efficient service.

To help celebrate the launch of their new summer menu, we got together with our friends Hakata Ramen to brew a tailor-made beer for their delicious Japanese inspired menu - The Hakata Pale Ale - 4.9%.

Lemon verbena on the nose, with flavours of coconut, lemongrass, & coriander on the palate, create a drinkable pale ale, with a refreshingly dry finish. The beer has a distinctive, unique characteristic from Sorachi Ace, a hop variety developed in Japan in the 1970s.

 Hakata Ramen Dishes

Hakata Ramen restaurant in Bermondsey offers a warm and inviting atmosphere specialising in Tonkotsu ramen and a range of popular Japanese small dishes, which perfectly accompany your meal or can be enjoyed by themselves, tapas-style.

It also hosts a basement is a bar. Think Tokyo dive-bar mashed with an NYC Speakeasy. A low-lit, intimate space offering premium Japanese inspired cocktails and sake alongside a selection of Orbit Beers.

Ramen continues to gain popularity outside of Japan and it can now be considered one of the World’s best-loved comfort foods.

The southern Japanese island of Kyushu is the birthplace of Tonkotsu ramen (pork bone broth) and Hakata ramen is its most famous version.
