Beer O'clock Adds Three New Taps from Makuzokoku Kobo, Noroshi Brewery, and CRAFT BEER BASE
Beer O'clock in Chiba's Fujimi district highlighted three new taps: a pale ale from Makuzokoku Kobo Microbrewery, a once-a-year Hazy IPA from Noroshi Brewery, and CRAFT BEER BASE's American brown ale. The pub also paired them with a Lyon-style salad.
Hop BroBeer O'clock in Chiba just dropped three fresh taps today. They brought in beers from Baku Zakkoku Koubou, Noroshi Brewing, and CRAFT BEER BASE all at once.
MugiWhat! And they do all-day weekday pours too, right? Pale Ale, Hazy IPA, and Brown Ale is a dangerous lineup for my schedule!
Hop BroFirst up is Tranquill Ale from Baku Zakkoku Koubou Microbrewery. It's a light easy Pale Ale at 5.0%, with a grassy note from German Amarillo hops.
MugiOooh, so that grassy aroma means fresh and breezy, like a field? That sounds perfect for the first glass.
Hop BroExactly. Then there's Noroshi Hazy IPA from Noroshi Brewing, 6.7%, a once-a-year Hazy IPA with a fun hop-and-yeast interaction going on.
MugiWait, hops and yeast interacting? Why does that sound like a science class and a team meeting at the same time?
Hop BroMore like teamwork in fermentation. The yeast helps shape how the hop character shows up, so the juicy hop aroma comes forward more clearly.
Hop BroThen CRAFT BEER BASE has Wicked AI:le, an American Brown Ale at 5.4%. It's a throwback Brown Ale with earthy notes, citrus, caramel depth, and herbal dry-hop character.
MugiThat is a lot of flavor! But earthy plus caramel with the Lyon-style salad sounds like something I'd absolutely destroy.
Hop BroThat pairing really works. Their Lyon-style salad with sherry vinegar, duck gizzards, bacon, and soft-boiled egg sounds built to keep those beers flowing.
MugiYep, this is now a day-drinking lock. And if Crisp! comes back at 3:00 p.m. on August 2, I want to keep tracking every Beer O'clock tap update.
Hop BroIf you're chasing guest beers in Chiba, this is a three-beer finish kind of day. Start with Tranquill Ale, move to Noroshi Hazy IPA, and close on Wicked AI:le.
Beer O'clock, a craft beer pub in Fujimi, Chiba City, announced its latest New TAP lineup in a recent post. Because the pub serves beer from lunchtime on weekdays, it works well for drinkers who want an early pint as much as for those stopping in after work.
New Taps
- Makuzokoku Kobo Microbrewery 'Tranquil Ale' (Pale Ale / 5.0%)
A standard pale ale with a light body and a grassy accent from German Amarillo hops. It is presented as an easy-drinking beer that should suit a first round very well.
- Noroshi Brewery 'Noroshi Hazy IPA' (Hazy IPA / 6.7%)
A Hazy IPA brewed only once a year. The post also mentions hop-yeast interaction during fermentation, pointing to a beer that should reward a slow, aromatic tasting.
- CRAFT BEER BASE 'Wicked AI:le' (American Brown Ale / 5.4%)
A recreation-inspired recipe linked to Pete's Wicked Ale. The beer is described as combining earthy and citrus-like hop character with firm caramel depth and a herbal note from dry hopping.
The recommended food pairing is the Lyon-style salad with duck gizzards, bacon, and a soft-boiled egg. The dish is dressed with sherry vinegar and topped with Omi duck gizzards from Shiga, bacon, eggs from Daisetsu Farm, and baguette croutons, making it a solid match for the current tap list.
The same post also announced that Crisp! will return on Sunday, August 2 at 3:00 PM. For anyone following guest beers in Chiba, Beer O'clock looks like a place to keep on the radar.
