Kyoto PUB Karr releases March 20 tap list: five beers on tap for a spring equinox daytime session
The beer pub PUB Karr in Nakagyo Ward, Kyoto City, has announced its on-tap lineup for March 20, 2026. Open from 3:00 p.m. to match the spring equinox holiday, the selection features five distinct beers from FLORA FERMENTATION, Minoh, Ogna, and Asahi, making for an afternoon lineup with plenty of character.
Hop BroKyoto's PUB Karr spring tap lineup is here, opening at 3:00 p.m. on the March 20 holiday. As a way to start daytime drinking on the spring equinox, it's a pretty appealing lineup.
MugiWhat! Open at 3:00 p.m. on a holiday? That's enough to make me want to go already! Being allowed to drink beer from the afternoon feels like a legal reward.
Hop BroThe on-tap list has five beers: Waldschart from FLORA FERMENTATION, Honey Saison from Minoh, Apple Hop and IPA from Ogna, and Maruef from Asahi at the end.
MugiWhat is that! Waldschart sounds strong just from the name, but what does it taste like? It feels like it would have a forest spirit inside it!
Hop BroIn true FLORA FERMENTATION style, it's the kind of beer that should let you enjoy character derived from fermentation. The aromas, acidity, and a touch of wildness created by the yeast are often what make this style appealing.
MugiFermentation-derived... so you mean it has a wild, earthy aroma? Beers can look that different?
Hop BroExactly. The impression can change a lot depending on the yeast. For example, Honey Saison tends to have a soft aroma and flavor, and its saison-like lightness makes it a great fit for daytime drinking.
MugiI see! Just hearing soft aroma and flavor makes it feel gentle somehow. It sounds perfect for a bright afternoon!
Hop BroAnd Ogna having two taps for comparison is great too. You can enjoy the aromatic play of Apple Hop, then check the hop presence more clearly with the IPA.
MugiWow, the tasting route is already mapped out! Ending with Maruef to settle things down also feels reassuring, like there's a proper escape hatch.
Hop BroAnd with the music talk added in, you can really see the atmosphere of spending a relaxed afternoon there. It's the kind of place that makes you want to take a little detour in the middle of sightseeing or a city walk.
MugiI can't take it anymore, I completely want that first beer of the spring equinox now! Today, I want to start slowly with beer in Kyoto!
PUB Karr, located on the 2nd floor of the Anraku Building on Rokkaku, west of Harimachi-dori in Kyoto, announced its tap list for Friday, March 20, 2026 on Instagram. The post says, "Since it is a holiday, we will open from 3:00 p.m.," setting things up so guests can enjoy craft beer from the early hours of the spring equinox day.
The five beers on tap that day are:
- Waldschart (FLORA FERMENTATION)
- Honey Saison (Minoh)
- Apple Hop (Ogna)
- IPA (Ogna)
- Maruef (Asahi)
The lineup ranges from a beer that should show off naturally derived fermentation character, to the gentle aroma and flavor of Honey Saison, a comparison of Ogna's two taps, and the reliably easygoing Maruef. The post also includes a music-related note, underscoring PUB Karr's identity as a place to spend a relaxed afternoon, not just drink beer.
For people in the Nakagyo area, where it is easy to stop by between sightseeing and walking around the city, this is a tap update worth checking if you want to start your first drink of the day from the holiday afternoon.
