Hop BroExtra Hop in central Oita has two fresh taps on: “Tottei” from Shirosuzume and “Makomako” from Yamorido!
MugiWhoa! They’re called two beers for autumn—how different are they?
Hop Bro“Tottei” is Shirosuzume’s seasonal amber ale. It has a deep color and a mellow character that suits cooler mornings and evenings.
MugiWhat even is an amber ale? Does amber mean gemstone-colored? Are we drinking jewelry?!
Hop BroClose, but we’re not selling the glass! Roasted malt brings malt richness and toastiness, giving the beer its reddish-brown to deep amber hue.
MugiNice! So does “Makomako” sound bouncy and light just because of its name?
Hop BroThat’s actually pretty close! Yamorido’s “Makomako” is a light, fruity IPA built around New Zealand hops, American hops, and wheat malt.
MugiHop-forward, wheat malt—suddenly this is a brewery meeting! What’s so special about New Zealand hops?
Hop BroIt sounds technical, right? Hops add aroma, and New Zealand varieties often evoke citrus and tropical fruit. So “Makomako” is all about bright fruity hop aroma!
MugiRich, dark “Tottei” and fragrant, breezy “Makomako” sound like a perfect tasting pair! I want to toast at Extra Hop after work!
craft beer “Extra Hop,” a beer pub in Chuo-machi, Oita City, has announced two new taps: “Tottei” from Shirosuzume and “Makomako” from Yamorido.
“Tottei” is a seasonal amber ale from Shirosuzume. The pub describes it as a darker beer suited to the time of year when mornings and evenings begin to feel cooler. Its amber color and malt-forward character make it a natural choice for early autumn drinking.
“Makomako” is an IPA from Yamorido built around New Zealand hops, supported by American hops and wheat malt. It is described as light and fruity, offering a bright contrast to the deeper profile of “Tottei.” Tasting the two side by side should provide a clear comparison between malt-driven richness and fresh hop aromatics.
The post also mentions an anniversary IPA from Smog City, Minoh Beer’s “Hakuho,” and an IPA from Falò. These beers were reportedly close to running out at the time of the announcement, so availability may vary.
Extra Hop is located on the first floor of Okuno Hosomichi Building at 2-6-25 Chuo-machi, Oita City, Oita Prefecture. The craft beer pub offers a rotating selection of beers for guests looking for a drink after work. From September, bar service operates from Wednesday through Saturday, with additional changes during the Silver Week holiday period.
