At craft beer "Extra Hop" on Chuo-machi in Oita, the taps continue to rotate. This latest post highlights Falò Brewing's `JOEY` and OUR BREWING's `New Classic`, giving drinkers two hop-forward beers with clearly different personalities: an XPA and an American Pale Ale.

`JOEY` is presented as a beer that fits the current season well. It sounds like an easy first pour, with a light, crisp profile that still keeps hop aroma in the foreground. `New Classic`, by contrast, leans into balance. As an American Pale Ale, it brings malt depth and fruity hop character together in a way that should work both as a standalone pint and alongside food.

Extra Hop is a beer pub on the first floor of the Okuno Hosomichi Building at 2-6-25 Chuo-machi. For beer fans in Oita, this is the kind of place where a rotating tap list becomes a tasting session: one beer for freshness, one for balance, and a good reason to stay for another round.
