Eight taps updated at HOP CROWD in Yokkaichi, Mie, including Oni Densetsu "Kin-Oni Pale Ale Comet ver."
The beer pub craft beer HOP CROWD in Yokkaichi, Mie, has updated its tap list. Oni Densetsu's "Kin-Oni Pale Ale Comet ver." and NEKO BEER's "Nerutora-san" have been newly tapped, and the lineup now spans everything from pilsner and IPA to cider and stout.
Hop BroToday it's a tap update from craft beer HOP CROWD, a beer pub in Mie's Yokkaichi. Oni Densetsu's "Kin-Oni Pale Ale Comet ver." and NEKO BEER's "Nerutora-san" have arrived, and the lineup is looking pretty fun.
MugiWhoa, just the name Kin-Oni Pale Ale sounds intense! What even is the Comet ver.? Is it a space beer?
Hop BroMore like a hop variety name than outer space. Comet tends to bring out citrus character, and this pale ale has a soft citrus and tropical note while still staying nicely balanced.
MugiBalanced? Does beer have a class representative role or something? What does well-balanced even mean?
Hop BroFor example, if the aroma is flashy but the bitterness and malt character feel disconnected, it tastes messy. When those elements connect properly and the beer lands with an "oh, that's good" finish, that's what I mean by a unified drinking profile.
MugiI see! So what kind of beer is "Nerutora-san"? The words DDH West Coast IPA already look super loud!
Hop BroThat's the important part: DDH means a method that uses plenty of dry hopping, and West Coast IPA is known for its crispness and bitterness. So "Nerutora-san" is a beer for hop lovers, with plenty of citrus aroma and a pleasant bitterness to enjoy.
MugiWow, that's dangerous for anyone who loves aroma! And there are 8 tap updates today, right? Too many options, it's the kind of thing that gets you lost!
Hop BroExactly. There's CRAK's "Pizzapils," Ise Kadoya Beer's "Nō ga Torokeru Ultra Heaven" and "Isekado West Coast Pilsner," Faction's "Commando 450 IPA," cider too, and even a dessert-style stout.
MugiPilsner, IPA, cider, stout... the range of flavors is like a roller coaster. Being able to travel through that much in one place is amazing!
Hop BroAnd it's in the Kintetsu Yokkaichi area, open Tuesday to Saturday from 16:00 to 24:00, and Sundays from 13:00 to 21:00. It's easy to stop by after work or on the weekend, and for chasing rotating taps, HOP CROWD is seriously strong.
MugiOkay, now my head is full of beer! I really want to go beer tasting in Yokkaichi, and now I'm dying to try both Kin-Oni and Nerutora-san. I want a toast right now!
