craft beer HOP CROWD adds new taps from Oni Densetsu and NEKO BEER, with CRAK and Ise Kadoya also on the list
Yokkaichi beer pub craft beer HOP CROWD posted “Good morning...” to announce new taps from Oni Densetsu and NEKO BEER. With CRAK, Ise Kadoya Beer, Faction, and even Italian cider on offer, it’s a lineup that lets you enjoy a wide range of styles in one place.
Hop BroThis Yokkaichi beer pub, craft beer HOP CROWD, is starting the day with a great tap update. When I hear they’ve got Oni Densetsu’s "Kinoni Pale Ale Comet ver." , NEKO BEER’s "Nerutora-san," and even CRAK and Ise Kadoya on the board, I start getting restless before noon.
MugiWhat! They drop a lineup that serious with a morning greeting!? The new taps are way too luxurious. The place already feels like a festival!
Hop BroThe first thing to note is Oni Densetsu’s "Kinoni Pale Ale Comet ver." It has a nice balance of citrus and tropical notes, so it’s a beer where you can enjoy the hop aroma in a straightforward way.
MugiComet ver.? That sounds like it’s launching into space, but what even is Comet?
Hop BroComet is the name of a hop variety. In other words, it’s the difference in the ingredient that shapes the aroma direction. So this beer lets you enjoy the fun of different hops almost like a side-by-side tasting.
MugiI see! Then NEKO BEER’s "Nerutora-san" is interesting too! DDH West Coast IPA sounds like another spell!
Hop BroDDH means double dry hopping, a method that layers in extra hops to strengthen the aroma. West Coast IPA has a sharp profile and a clean bitterness, so it should hit the spot if you like a clear drinking profile.
MugiWow, even CRAK’s "Pizzapils" has such a cute name, and just hearing Italian pilsner makes me happy. I want to drink it with pizza!
Hop BroAnd then you’ve got Ise Kadoya Beer’s "Brain-Melting Ultra Heaven." It’s a dense Triple IPA with plenty of bitterness and body, so the flow can go from refreshing beers early on to heavier, richer ones later.
MugiAnd there’s cider too!? The best part is that it’s not just beer, but also a drink to reset your mood.
Hop BroExactly. If you slip in a dry cider like FABBRICA BIRRA PERUGIA’s "Sidro di Mele," it helps settle the rhythm of the drinking session. And if you finish with NEKO BEER’s dessert-style stout, the taste journey in one bar is complete.
MugiIf a place in Yokkaichi has this much range, we have to go! I’m curious about everything from refreshing to rich, and today I want us to get through the drinks smoothly from the first glass!
Tap Update
craft beer HOP CROWD, in Suwazakaemachi, Yokkaichi City, Mie Prefecture, is a beer pub on the second floor of a building. In this post, the shop introduces the day’s guest beers from its morning greeting, and the lineup spans a wide range, from light pilsners to hop-heavy IPAs, cider, and dessert-style stouts.
The first new tap that catches the eye is "Kinoni Pale Ale Comet ver." from Noboribetsu Jibiiru Oni Densetsu, and "Nerutora-san" from NEKO BEER. The former is marked by a balance of citrus and tropical notes, while the latter, as a DDH West Coast IPA, has a clear drinking profile and a pleasant bitterness. Both are lined up as beers that hop lovers will want to try.
The existing taps are also worth noting. CRAK’s "Pizzapils" offers the crispness and aroma characteristic of an Italian pilsner. Ise Kadoya Beer’s "Brain-Melting Ultra Heaven" delivers the dense impact of an American Style Triple IPA, making it a good choice when you want a solid bitterness. Faction’s "Commando 450 IPA" is also available, giving the IPA lineup plenty of depth.
In addition, FABBRICA BIRRA PERUGIA’s "Sidro di Mele" stands out as a dry cider you’ll want to slip in between beers. If you add Ise Kadoya Beer’s "Isekado West Coast Pilsner" and NEKO BEER’s "Patisserie Nyankoro ~Strawberry Ganache Cake Stout~," you can see what makes HOP CROWD feel so appealing: it’s easy to build your own tasting flow within the same bar.
For anyone in Yokkaichi who wants to move from the refreshing first sip to a rich later pour and finish with a sweet stout, this is an easy tap list to check out.
