Want a Beer lists ONE LAP BEHIND and LOCOMOTION on June 13
Want a Beer in Motoimaizumi, Utsunomiya will open on June 13 from 12:00 to 23:00, with last orders at 22:00. The tap list features ONE LAP BEHIND from Hoppukotan x BLACK TIDE Brewing and LOCOMOTION from Nara Brewing.
Hop BroThe June 13 lineup at Utsunomiya's Want a Beer is seriously strong.
MugiWait, you can drink from 12:00 to 23:00? That's basically an all-day beer field trip!
Hop BroThe headliner is ONE LAP BEHIND from Hoppukotan x BLACK TIDE BREWING, and the style is Saison w/Yuzu at 6.0% ABV.
MugiHold on, that sounds like a spell. What even is saison yeast?
Hop BroIn plain terms, it's a yeast that adds a lightly peppery note, and it ties the yuzu and Sorachi Ace together into a woody finish really nicely.
MugiWhoa! Yuzu, hinoki, and lemongrass? That sounds like a Japanese forest aroma in a glass!
Hop BroAnd the second pour is LOCOMOTION from Nara Brewing, with grapefruit-like citrus and pineapple bringing a full tropical burst.
MugiSo the first beer is herbal and woody, and the second goes tropical? That's a wild range for one tap list!
Hop BroThen you add cold peach genovese pasta and bonito carpaccio, and suddenly you've got a seafood pairing dream.
MugiAnd LINE is the safest way to book, right? I'm ready to lock in a seat and start day drinking already!
Hop BroYeah, their Instagram DMs can lag, so I'd message on LINE and do a proper ONE LAP BEHIND to LOCOMOTION one-two.
MugiExactly! I want the yuzu first, then the fruit after that, and now I just want to toast right now!
On June 13, Want a Beer, a beer pub in Motoimaizumi, Utsunomiya, is scheduled to run all day from 12:00 to 23:00. Last orders are at 22:00. Reservations are accepted through the LINE link in the profile, and the shop notes that Instagram DMs may be replied to more slowly.
The first beer on the tap list is `ONE LAP BEHIND`, a collaboration between Hoppukotan and BLACK TIDE Brewing. The post describes it as a collaboration beer with a bright yuzu character, woody notes reminiscent of hinoki and lemongrass from Sorachi Ace, and a spicy saison yeast profile. It is listed as `Saison w/Yuzu` at 6.0% ABV.
The second beer is `LOCOMOTION` from Nara Brewing. It is described as having grapefruit-like citrus aroma along with tropical fruit notes centered on pineapple, giving the lineup a fruit-forward contrast to the first beer.
The food menu is broad for a beer pub: peach cold genovese pasta, Kesennuma bonito carpaccio, sardine sauté with arrabbiata sauce, house-smoked mackerel with ricotta cheese, red sea bream aqua pazza, shrimp marinara pizza, and tea brulee. The range of seafood, pasta, and pizza makes it easy to build a meal around beer. The post also mentions the weekend environment and the influence of the World Cup, while noting that purchasing and prep are still being handled as usual. It is a flexible setup for a long lunch-to-night visit centered on beer and food.
