444 BEYOND's April 23 tap list features Kyoto Brewing's 'Sokarion' and GROUNDTAP BREWERY's 'OSANBAI'
Mizue's standing craft beer pub 444 BEYOND has released its tap list for Friday, April 23. Kyoto Brewing's Juicy Double IPA 'Sokarion' and GROUNDTAP BREWERY's Rice Lager 'OSANBAI' were announced, and the remaining two slots are marked as coming soon.
Hop BroToday's topic is the tap update at Mizue's standing beer pub, 444 BEYOND. With the April 23 (Fri.) announcement, two beers are already visible.
MugiWhoa! It's easy to stop by while standing, and even with only four taps it sounds packed with character! The remaining two slots are coming soon is way too intriguing!
Hop BroThe first is Kyoto Brewing's Sokarion, a Juicy Double IPA. At 8.0% ABV and 45 IBU, it's built around Southern Cross and Riwaka to really push the hop aroma forward.
MugiWhat is that! Thiol extraction sounds like a science experiment out of nowhere, but what's good about it when you drink it?
Hop BroSee, thiols are one of the compounds that make up aroma, and the aim is to bring out tropical aromas. In other words, it's easier for the hop's vibrant character to bloom the moment you drink it.
MugiOhh! That's the kind of thing that lifts your mood with aroma alone. And with that 8.0% richness, you'd want to savor it little by little!
Hop BroThe second is GROUNDTAP BREWERY's OSANBAI, a Rice Lager. It uses rice and naked barley, and what's nice is that it keeps flavor intact even with a clean 3.5% ABV lightness.
MugiWait, rice lager can have that much depth? Light yet flavorful sounds strong for both lunch drinks and a nightcap!
Hop BroExactly. 444 BEYOND has the knack of running four taps, so with so few beers each one's personality stands out more clearly. Pairing a hop-forward IPA with an easy-drinking lager is a good balance too.
MugiAnd they tagged @shiokaze_brewstand_nobuto and a bunch of others in the post, so I'm way too excited for the next rotation!
Hop BroIf you want to choose quietly and drink at your own pace in Mizue, this is a really good spot. Today I already feel like I want to start with a glass of Sokarion.
MugiYeah, I want to toast with OSANBAI first, then dive into the aroma with Sokarion!

Today's lineup
- ① Kyoto Brewing (Kyoto Prefecture) 'Sokarion'
Style: Juicy Double IPA / ABV: 8.0% / IBU: 45. Built around a Southern Cross hop blend, Egger's Special, and Riwaka, this beer focuses on extracting the hop aroma compound 'thiol'.
- ② GROUNDTAP BREWERY (Ehime Prefecture) 'OSANBAI'
Style: Rice Lager / ABV: 3.5%. A light lager made with rice and naked barley that retains flavor within its simple, rustic lightness.
444 BEYOND is a standing craft beer pub in Higashimizue, Edogawa Ward, Tokyo. Its easy drop-in, stand-up style makes it approachable, and because the tap count is kept to four, each beer's individuality comes through clearly. A lineup like this, placing a hop-heavy IPA alongside a crisp rice lager, broadens the range of preferences it can accommodate.
The post also tagged @shiokaze_brewstand_nobuto, @camado_brewery, @brewclassicbeer, @ajbrewingco, and @y.market_brewing, so it will be worth watching for future rotations. It's a place that fits a day when you want to choose beer quietly in Mizue.
