BEERKICHI lines up four guest beers led by NEKOBEER on July 26
BEERKICHI in Watanabe-dori, Fukuoka, is open from 13:00 to midnight on Sunday, July 26. The lineup features three NEKOBEER beers and one Inkhorn Brewing West Coast IPA, alongside curry, okra, and basque cheesecake.
Hop BroToday's topic is a strong one: BEERKICHI in Watanabe-dori, Fukuoka, is open from 1 p.m. to midnight on July 26, with four taps led by NEKOBEER on deck.
MugiWhat! Four kegs at once? That's basically a mini festival, and it starts at 1 p.m. too!
Hop BroAnd the first pour is already interesting. NEKOBEER's 'Sparunyan X - Moe yo! Berry Berry Mix! -' is a Sour IPA, so you get tartness and hop character in the same glass.
MugiHold on, a Sour IPA? What even is that? Sour and bitter together? Do they start fighting in my mouth?
Hop BroNot a fight, more like teamwork. The acidity snaps everything tight, then the IPA aroma lifts up after it. Think of it as grown-up fizzy berries and it makes sense.
MugiOoh! Then 'Chocolatier Nyanpachi - Almond Vanilla Milk Stout -' being an Imperial Stout means it's basically the dessert slot, right?
Hop BroExactly, that's the closer. At 8.0% ABV, it should bring roast plus almond and vanilla roundness. Pair it with Basque cheesecake and things get dangerous fast.
MugiWhat is that, a drinkable dessert course? But then 'Shiroi Neko' is a QDH Hazy IPA and now it sounds like a magic spell!
Hop BroQDH means quadruple dry-hopped, basically piling in extra hops to push the aroma way up. Since it's a Hazy IPA, it shouldn't drink too sharp; think white-grape aroma and you're close.
MugiOkay, got it! And with Inkhorn Brewing's Buncho2026#3 bringing a West Coast IPA from Tokyo, the tasting range is huge.
Hop BroExactly. NEKOBEER covers sour, dark, and hazy, then Inkhorn snaps things back with crisp bitterness. Throw in curry or goya ohitashi between pours and it's a start-at-lunch lineup for me.
MugiI'm sold. I want to open with the Sour IPA, level up with the QDH Hazy, then land on stout and cheesecake. BEERKICHI sounds like a bar I want right now!
July 26 lineup
BEERKICHI is a standing-friendly craft beer pub in Watanabe-dori, Fukuoka, within walking distance of Tenjin-Minami Station. On Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays it opens from 13:00, making it an easy stop for an early start. In the July 26 post, the shop shared its hours and the day’s food and guest beer lineup.
Guest beers
The day’s `New on tap` selection was built around three NEKOBEER beers and one Inkhorn Brewing beer.
- `NEKOBEER / スパルニャンエックス〜萌えよ！ベリーベリーmix！〜`
Sour IPA / ABV 5.0% / Fukuoka
- `NEKOBEER / ショコラティエにゃんぱち〜アーモンドバニラミルクスタウト〜`
Imperial Stout / ABV 8.0% / Fukuoka
- `NEKOBEER / ねこビアさんちのしろいねこ`
QDH Hazy IPA / ABV 6.5% / Fukuoka
- `Inkhorn/Buncho2026#3`
West Coast IPA / ABV 7.0% / Tokyo
NEKOBEER covered a wide range of styles, from a sour IPA to an imperial stout and a QDH hazy IPA. Inkhorn Brewing’s West Coast IPA rounded out the board, giving drinkers a compact but varied tasting range in a single visit.
Food pairing
The food side included `おつまみカレー` (snack curry), `ゴーヤのおひたし` (blanched bitter melon greens), and `バスクチーズケーキ` (Basque cheesecake). That mix makes it easy to alternate between food and beer, whether you want to start with something light and move into hops or finish with a stout.
BEERKICHI’s appeal lies in its casual standing-bar feel and its rotating taps. On July 26, it offered a particularly beer-geek-friendly mix of local NEKOBEER releases and a guest West Coast IPA from Tokyo.
