BEERKICHI Taps Inkhorn Brewing's "Fukuro #2" and "Java Finch 2026"
The beer pub BEERKICHI in Watanabe-dori, Fukuoka, will be open from 3:00 p.m. to midnight on Tuesday, April 28, and has newly put two Inkhorn beers on tap. The post also announces its 7th anniversary party on May 1, as well as daily openings from 1:00 p.m. from April 29 through May 6.
Hop BroAt BEERKICHI ビアキチ in Watanabe-dori, Fukuoka, two new Inkhorn Brewing beers have just gone on tap. Today it's open from 15:00 to 24:00, so it's a perfect stop on the way home from work.
MugiWhat, two releases on tap at once? That's too exciting! And they're from a Tokyo brewery too, which makes it feel like a long-distance romance or something!
Hop BroThe first one is Fukuro #2, a Hazy Pale Ale at ABV 5.0%. As the name suggests, it's a style that should come across as rich, with the soft texture and juiciness you'd expect from a hazy beer.
MugiHuh! But if it's a Hazy Pale Ale, is it hazy even though it's a pale ale? My brain can't keep up with which one it is!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. Hazy beers aim for a soft mouthfeel. Rather than pushing bitterness to the front, they let you enjoy hop aroma and a fruit-juice-like impression.
MugiI see! So the second one, Java Finch 2026, sounds crisp just from the name!
Hop BroExactly. Its appeal is the defined bitterness and aroma typical of an American IPA. At ABV 6.5%, it's a beer for when you want to really feel the hop presence.
MugiWow, today you can choose based on your mood! It's the best that both the juicy crowd and the bitterness crowd have a place there!
Hop BroAnd BEERKICHI also has its 7th anniversary party on May 1, plus it's open from 1:00 p.m. every day from April 29 to May 6. Being able to drink from midday during the holidays is pretty strong.
MugiOpening in the daytime is almost unfair! That means from holiday daytime drinking all the way to the anniversary party, I'd want to keep going back the whole time!
Hop BroIt looks like they're also preparing original beers, so the tap lineup on the floor is only getting more exciting. Today, I want to taste the two Inkhorn beers and get a head start on the anniversary buzz.
MugiYeah, just imagining it is making my throat go dry... For today's first drink, Fukuro #2, and for the second, Java Finch 2026 sounds perfect!
Fukuoka City Chuo Ward Watanabe-dori's BEERKICHI ビアキチ announced the start of business on Tuesday, April 28. Hours are 15:00 open-24:00 close. In the post, under the heading "Inkhorn on tap," it was announced that two beers from Tokyo brewery Inkhorn had just been connected.
New on Tap
- Inkhorn/Fukuro #2 - Hazy Pale Ale / ABV 5.0% / Tokyo
- Inkhorn/Java Finch 2026 - American IPA / ABV 6.5% / Tokyo
Both beers look like a lineup that balances hop aroma and drinkability, making the brewery's pitch to IPA fans especially clear. Fukuro #2, the Hazy Pale Ale, is the kind of beer that invites expectations of a soft mouthfeel and juicy character. By contrast, Java Finch 2026 is the one to reach for when you want to enjoy the defined bitterness and aroma typical of an American IPA.
BEERKICHI is known as a beer pub where you can enjoy craft beer in the Tenjin area of Fukuoka. In this post as well, the shop did not stop at simply announcing a guest beer, but also shared information about its 7th anniversary party on Friday, May 1 and its holiday period hours of opening at 1:00 p.m. every day from April 29 to May 6. It also seems to be preparing original beers for the anniversary, so a tap lineup unique to this period can be expected on site.
If you're interested, be sure to check it out not only during normal business hours on April 28, but also for the anniversary party on May 1 and the earlier opening hours throughout Golden Week.
