craft beer Extra Hop opens Hi-Wire, CRAFT BEER BASE and BEPPU Brewery beers on tap
The Oita city beer pub craft beer Extra Hop announced continuous weekend hours for July and August, running from 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. The new tap list features three beers from Hi-Wire Brewing, CRAFT BEER BASE and BEPPU BREWERY, with the venue continuing to rotate through fast-moving draft lines.
Hop BroThis week's topic is Extra Hop's summer taps. At craft beer Extra Hop in Chuo-machi, Oita, weekends in July and August run straight from 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., so you can drop in from daytime through the night.
MugiWhat! Straight through from 4 p.m. sounds perfect. That's the kind of schedule that makes me want one pint while it's still bright and then somehow stay all evening!
Hop BroAnd this tap update has three fresh pours: Hi-Wire Brewing's Cooler Nights IPA, CRAFT BEER BASE's XPA -Luna-, and BEPPU BREWERY's Noyaki Dark Lager.
MugiWhat is that lineup! Three totally different personalities already. I know IPA, but what's XPA? Adding an X suddenly makes it sound dangerous!
Hop BroXPA means Extra Pale Ale. It keeps the easy-drinking side of a pale ale, then lifts the hop aroma in a really pleasant way, so it's not a finishing move, just a very summer-friendly beer.
MugiNo way, not a special attack? Then CRAFT BEER BASE's XPA -Luna- sounds like the kind of beer I could sip fast on a hot day.
Hop BroExactly. Hi-Wire Brewing's Cooler Nights IPA is said to have grapefruit-peel vibes and bitterness, but with a calm overall balance. That's why it isn't just some brute-force gym-rat IPA.
MugiGym-rat IPA, what does that even mean! But a balanced kind of IPA sounds like something I could drink without getting left behind by your beer lecture.
Hop BroThen there's BEPPU BREWERY's Noyaki Dark Lager, a popular dark lager that disappeared fast last time. It sounds roasty but still easy to drink, so missing it would hurt.
MugiWait, that fast? A place with rapid keg turnover makes reading the tap list feel like waiting for exam results!
Hop BroThat's the fun of it. This place is worth chasing constantly, with a Falò-starting lager, a CRAFT BEER BASE American pale ale, Moriyama-en's cider in its final stretch, and a limited Shiga Kogen IPA moving quickly too, plus the Oita digital premium voucher works there.
MugiThat is basically the winning weekend route. I'll start with XPA -Luna-, you'll grab Noyaki Dark Lager, and we'll meet in the middle with Cooler Nights IPA, because now I really want to drink at Extra Hop.
