Yokkaichi's craft beer HOP CROWD guides Beachwood and Oni Densetsu for the May 23-24 "Yakisoba Yakitai" event
The craft beer pub HOP CROWD in Yokkaichi, Mie, has released its latest tap lineup ahead of the May 23-24 "Yakisoba Yakitai" event. The selection ranges widely in style, from Beachwood's WC IPA and Off Trail's sour to Oni Densetsu and Ise Kadoya Beer.
Hop BroYokkaichi's craft beer HOP CROWD has put out a tap guide to match the May 23-24 "Yakisoba Yakitai" event. A lineup you can drink with the event vibe, and it's pretty hot.
MugiWait, it's a yakisoba event and beer is the main attraction too!? An event-linked tap list can be that exciting?
Hop BroThe first highlight is Beachwood's Nel'send It WC IPA. It's a collaboration with Arrow Lodge Brewing, and it really leans into Nelson hops in a West Coast IPA.
MugiI hear West Coast IPA all the time, but what even is it!? When you say the hop character really stands out, does it make your tongue feel jagged?
Hop BroNot jagged, don't worry. It's a style that makes the bitterness and aroma come through clearly, so citrusy and pine-like hop notes can really shine. That's why it pairs well with food too.
MugiI see! But Off Trail's Wild Caught 2024 sounds scary just from the name!
Hop BroThis is a Barrel Aged Sour Red Ale w/ Wild Sansho Pepper, built on a 10-month-aged Red Ale and blended with Kveik Sour and Sour Porter. The sansho shows up softly behind the acidity, so it's a pretty bold beer.
MugiIt even has sansho!? Now I'm not sure whether it's a snack or a beer! It feels like a maze of aromas, and I really want to try it!
Hop BroAnd that's not all. They also have Vinohradský pivovar's Vinohradská 12, Oni Densetsu's "Akkiyama Bitter III," West Coast Brewing x Sakamichi Brewing's "The Hop Dukes," and Ise Kadoya Beer's "Electro Squash Sour IPA."
MugiThey've got lager, bitter, and sour IPA too!? This is what a tasting paradise looks like. Just the names alone are enough to fill you up!
Hop BroHOP CROWD is on the second floor of Suwa Hanazono Building, open Tuesday through Saturday from 4:00 p.m. to midnight, and on Sundays from 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. If you're doing a one-stop drink in Yokkaichi, it's the perfect place to eat and sample beers little by little.
MugiIt's decided, we have to eat yakisoba and drink beer! On the weekend in Yokkaichi, I want to conquer one glass at a time with you, Hop-nii!
