Hop BroThe tap lineup at craft beer HOP CROWD in Yokkaichi, Mie was updated on March 24, and this time the three new taps are especially strong. CRAK's Pizzapils, Ise Kadoya Beer’s Brain-Melting Ultra Heaven, and FABBRICA BIRRA PERUGIA’s Sidro di Mele cover everything from light to heavy.
MugiWhoa, the names alone are packed with information! What even is Pizzapils? Does it taste like pizza?
Hop BroNot pizza flavor - it’s CRAK’s Extra Dry-Hopped Italian Pilsner. With Citra-driven citrus notes and a crisp drinking character, it’s the kind of beer that instantly resets your palate when you start with it.
MugiSo it’s a dry pilsner, huh. But does dry hopping mean drying it out?
Hop BroThat’s the interesting part: it doesn’t mean drying it out, but adding hops after fermentation to layer in aroma. That’s why Pizzapils has those citrus nuances and the aroma comes first.
MugiOhhh! Then the next one, Brain-Melting Ultra Heaven, sounds like it could get you drunk just from the name!
Hop BroThis one from Ise Kadoya Beer is an American Style Triple IPA, and its hallmark is a high-powered drinking experience packed with both hops and malt. It’s the main attraction for people who love bitterness in the back half of the lineup.
MugiThe main attraction in the back half? This is starting to feel like a match! So is Sidro di Mele the break-time player?
Hop BroExactly. FABBRICA BIRRA PERUGIA’s cider is extremely dry, so when you place it between beers, it resets your palate. Being unpasteurized and unfiltered also keeps the edges clear and refreshing.
MugiI see, the lineup is way too strong! Faction’s Commando 450 IPA and Noboribetsu Ji Beer Onidensetsu’s Kinki Pale Ale CGX Nelson both sound great too, and now I want to get lost in all of it.
Hop BroAnd there’s also Ise Kadoya Beer’s Isekado West Coast Pilsner plus NEKO BEER’s Pastry Nyankoro~, so Yokkaichi has basically become a side-by-side tasting rabbit hole.
MugiIt’s definitely a matter of consulting my stomach! I could talk for an hour just about what to drink first today, and now I want to go to Yokkaichi right away!
