craft beer HOP CROWD updates its tap list with six beers, led by Dok Brewing
craft beer HOP CROWD in Yokkaichi, Mie, updated its tap list in a June 10 post. The lineup centers on Dok Brewing's single-hop New Zealand IPA and also includes a pilsner, a tea saison, a pale ale, and other easy-to-choose options.
Hop BroToday’s HOP CROWD tap update in Yokkaichi is a strong one. It’s an easy walk from Kintetsu Yokkaichi Station, so it’s exactly the kind of place you can drop into for a quick beer.
MugiWhat! A six-tap refresh already sounds fun, and it’s near the station too? That’s dangerously convenient after work!
Hop BroThe headliner is Dok Brewing’s IPA, “Matti Heeft Al Meer Sterren Gezien Dan Een Astroloog.” It’s a Nectaron single-hop IPA with a tropical feel, but the backbone leans old-school.
MugiWait, what is a single-hop IPA? That suddenly sounds like a spell. And “old-school backbone” makes it sound like the beer is lecturing me.
Hop BroBasically it’s all-in on Nectaron. They mostly use one hop variety so you can taste that hop’s character directly, especially those lush tropical aromas.
MugiOhhh, so it’s got big tropical energy but still stays disciplined in the glass. A vacation shirt with a serious work ethic!
Hop BroAnd the rest of the list has range too. You’ve got from pilsner to saison: Craft Beer Base’s “Pilsener Northern Style,” Shima Brewing’s “Karigane Tea Saison,” plus beers from NEKO BEER, Oni Densetsu, and Isekadoya.
MugiThat’s a great style spread! Crisp one day, hop-forward the next. Even choosing sounds like part of the fun.
Hop BroExactly, and it’s also solo-drinker friendly with sandwiches and hot dogs, so it works for a first stop or a full casual meal. Hours are Tue-Sat 4:00 PM-12:00 AM, Sun 1:00 PM-9:00 PM, and they noted temporary closures on June 16 and June 28.
MugiThat settles it, I want a pint now. I’m starting with the pilsner and finishing on that Dok IPA, ideally with a hot dog in hand!

The pub is open Tuesday through Saturday from 16:00 to 24:00, and on Sundays from 13:00 to 21:00, with Mondays closed.
