Extra Hop in Oita taps FARMENTRY Dark Mild and OK, ADAM Flipper Sour
The craft beer pub "Extra Hop" in Chuo-machi, Oita City, added two new taps on Friday night. The lineup now includes FARMENTRY's low-ABV Dark Mild and OK, ADAM's plum-based hard cider, offering a summer-friendly range for drinkers in the area.
Hop BroExtra Hop has two fresh taps on tonight, and the lineup is sharp. FARMENTRY’s DARK MILD from Nara and OK, ADAM’s Flipper Sour from Akita just came on for a very summer-ready set.
MugiWait, DARK MILD sounds intense. What kind of beer is that, some heavy black beast?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. It’s a traditional dark mild from southern England, only 3.0% ABV, with a soft malt balance you can sip slowly.
MugiOnly 3.0%? That is a suspiciously gentle number! Can Friday-night me really be satisfied with that?
Hop BroAbsolutely. It still has malt depth so it doesn’t feel watery, and before a three-day weekend, a slow easy pint really works.
MugiOkay, I’m listening! Then what’s Flipper Sour? When I hear sour, my brain can’t tell if we’re talking beer or juice anymore!
Hop BroThat one is a hard cider from OK, ADAM made with fully ripe ume plums. It’s not beer, and the balance of acidity and juicy fruit is perfect for hot weather.
MugiWhoa, ripe plum tang already makes my mouth pucker! That sounds like the kind of drink that snaps you back to life in summer.
Hop BroAnd Extra Hop has fast-moving taps. Two CRAFT BEER BASE kegs are already near the end, and Uchoten Brewing, which debuted there yesterday, is dropping fast too.
MugiThat is peak one-time encounter energy! So if I go tomorrow instead of today, my dream tap could already be gone?
Hop BroExactly. In the summer schedule, weekends are continuous service from 16:00 to 22:00, Wednesday nights are open too, and the electronic premium voucher works.
MugiThen my drink plan tonight is settled! I’ll take Flipper Sour, you take DARK MILD, and we are definitely trading halfway.
Hop BroThat’s the move. With a compare-both strategy, we get mellow malt and plum acidity in one stop, and now I really want to detour to Extra Hop.
At craft beer "Extra Hop," a pub on the first floor of the Okunohosomichi Building in Chuo-machi, Oita City, two fresh taps went live ahead of the three-day weekend.
The new arrivals are FARMENTRY / DARK MILD and OK, ADAM / Flipper Sour.
- FARMENTRY / DARK MILD: A traditional southern English dark mild, listed at 3.0% ABV. It is described as a low-alcohol beer with a calm malt balance, suited to slow sipping.
- OK, ADAM / Flipper Sour: A hard cider made with ripe plums. The shop notes a balance of acidity and fruit character that works well in hot weather.
The post also says two kegs from CRAFT BEER BASE were close to finishing, while a first-time pour from UCHOTEN Brewing was disappearing quickly. That kind of rapid turnover is part of the appeal of a tap-focused pub: what is on the board can change from one visit to the next.
Extra Hop has also announced its summer operating schedule through Aug. 31. Lunch service will be offered only on Jul. 24, 31 and Aug. 21, 28. Wednesday evenings will also run as bar service from 5:30 p.m., and weekends will be open continuously from 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. The shop will be closed on Aug. 20, and electronic Oita City premium gift certificates are accepted.
With a lineup ranging from a gentle dark mild to a fruit-driven cider, Extra Hop continues to offer the kind of selection that gives beer fans a reason to stop by after work.
