BEERKICHI in Fukuoka taps Inkhorn and three NEKOBEER beers on July 19
BEERKICHI, a beer pub in Watanabe-dori, Fukuoka, is open from 1:00 p.m. to midnight on Sunday, July 19. The post highlights four new beers on tap: Inkhorn’s Yellow Warbler 2026#2 and three NEKOBEER releases.
Hop BroToday at BEERKICHI in Fukuoka's Watanabe-dori, we've got four new taps. One from Inkhorn, three from NEKOBEER, and it's the kind of lineup you can settle into from 1 p.m. to midnight.
MugiWhat! Day drinking kickoff and they're open till midnight? That's basically a beer endurance event! And BEERKICHI has pizza too, right?
Hop BroThat's the killer part, house-made NY pizza. It's a beer pub with 12 draft taps, so you can snack on pizza and build a really clean tasting flight.
MugiOooh! But first, Yellow Warbler 2026#2 has my attention. Cute name, but what kind of beer is it actually?
Hop BroThat's Inkhorn's Hazy DIPA 7.5%, a rich, punchy beer with a thick hop presence. Hazy means cloudy and juicy, and DIPA is basically IPA with the volume turned up.
MugiWait, what? Hazy and DIPA I kind of get now, but DDH and QDH from NEKOBEER sound like magic spells. Do they summon extra cats?
Hop BroNo extra cats, but definitely extra aroma. DDH and QDH are hop-loading methods that boost the nose, so NEKO First Unit: Boin 2026 ver., a DDH Session IPA at 4.5%, stays light while still smelling big.
MugiHaha, Boin 2026 ver. sounds wild, but 4.5% and easy-drinking? I love a beer whose name gets drunk before I do.
Hop BroThen you've got Shiroi Neko 6.5%, a QDH Hazy IPA with a fuller body. After that, jumping to the Sour IPA called Fruit Parlor NEKO NEKO! Midsummer Fresh Juice Stand! gives the whole lineup a really fun curve.
MugiSeriously, Midsummer Fresh Juice Stand already makes me thirsty just from the name! If it's a Sour IPA, that sounds like the perfect summer finale.
Hop BroWhat makes this great is the tasting order almost builds itself. Start with the Session IPA, move into the Hazy beers, and finish on the Sour IPA for a really smooth arc.
MugiThen it's settled, meet at BEERKICHI. Pizza on the side, all four beers from Inkhorn and NEKOBEER in front of us, and my mouth is already opening at 1 p.m.!
BEERKICHI is a beer pub in the Watanabe-dori area of Fukuoka City, known for 12 draft taps and house-made NY-style pizza. The venue is built for relaxed daytime drinking, and this post follows that rhythm with a 1:00 p.m. opening and a midnight close.
The day’s New on tap list features four beers:
- Inkhorn / Yellow Warbler 2026#2
Hazy DIPA, 7.5% ABV, from Tokyo.
- NEKOBEER / NEKO 初号機〜暴飲2026ver〜
DDH session IPA, 4.5% ABV, from Fukuoka.

- NEKOBEER / フルーツパーラーNEKO NEKO！真夏のフレッシュジュース屋さん！
Sour IPA, 5.0% ABV, from Fukuoka.
The lineup moves from a fuller Hazy DIPA to lighter session IPA territory and then to a sour IPA, so visitors can build a tasting sequence around style and strength. For craft beer drinkers in Fukuoka, it is the kind of tap list that pairs naturally with pizza and a slow afternoon at the bar.
