The beer pub Life is Beer! 11TAP in Kokura, Kitakyushu, announced its "craft beer takeaway bottles" on Instagram (posted January 16, 2026).

The star of this release is a set of Valentine stouts centered on chocolate notes. In the post, they are introduced as "four chocolate stouts from a popular brewery, a yearly tradition," and the lineup is designed so you can enjoy the differences in sweetness, fruitiness, and roasted character.

Bottles Announced This Time


- Imperial Chocolate Stout
- Sweet Vanilla Stout
- Orange Chocolate Stout
- Raspberry Chocolate Stout (limited to this year)

The post clearly states, "OK to drink in the shop, OK to take home." That means you can of course choose a bottle to savor slowly at home, but you could also drink it in the shop first to find your favorite and then buy a bottle to take away.

The interior has counter seats, table seats, and high tables, so it can handle everything from solo drinks to group visits. In the Kyomachi area, this is a place dark-beer fans looking for a solid stout should not miss. Since this is the season when beer-gift demand rises, it would be wise to check the latest stock on social media before visiting.
