Oita’s craft beer Extra Hop taps OUR BREWING’s “Dino King,” with CRAFTROCK’s Kölsch nearing its end
At the beer pub craft beer “Extra Hop” in Oita City’s Chuo-machi, OUR BREWING’s “Dino King” is on tap. It is being introduced as the only Japanese entry to place in the IPA category at the Japan Brewers Cup, and CRAFTROCK’s Kölsch is down to just a few pours left.
Hop BroAt craft beer “Extra Hop” in Chuo-machi, Oita City, they’ve got some interesting kegs on now. They’ve just finished last week’s collaboration service and have switched back to normal mode.
MugiWhat! Even though they’re back to regular service, there’s already something to talk about? Dino King sounds intense from the name alone, so what is it?
Hop BroIt’s OUR BREWING / Dino King, and it’s on tap. It’s the only Japanese beer to place in the IPA category at the Japan Brewers Cup.
MugiThe Japan Brewers Cup sounds impressive, but does the only Japanese entry to place mean it’s super strong?
Hop BroExactly. And the flavor is a little old school, so it’s more full-bodied than the flashy IPAs you see these days. It has a solid malt presence and a firm bitterness, making it the kind of beer you really feel you’re drinking.
MugiOhhh! But a solid body makes it sound like beer doing strength training, haha!
Hop BroAnd there’s another one too: CRAFTROCK BREWING’s Kölsch is down to just a few pours left. Kölsch is crisp and light, and after an IPA it really feels like it resets your mouth.
MugiWhat is that! Crisp, clean drinkability sounds easy to drink even for beginners, and like the kind you’ll want to order one more of!
Hop BroThe post also said the tap turnover is pretty fast, and some kegs may kick within the week. So Extra Hop is the kind of place where what you get is very much a once-in-a-moment thing.
MugiNow I’m really curious! Tonight, I want to do a beer after work and go Dino King first, then Kölsch, in order!
Hop BroNice, that’s probably the best way to enjoy it. Taste the sturdy drinking satisfaction of an IPA first, then finish lightly with a Kölsch, and the night is basically a win.
MugiYeah, just imagining it is making me hungry...! So I want to go drink right now is the feeling this is talking about!
The beer pub craft beer “Extra Hop” in Oita City’s Chuo-machi announced that it had returned to normal business after last week’s Le TAMAÏ collaboration. In the post, it introduced OUR BREWING / Dino King as a mid-week tap opening from last Sunday. It is described as a beer that was the only Japanese entry to place in the IPA category at the Japan Brewers Cup, with a flavor that is “a little old school” and a solid body.
At the same time, CRAFTROCK BREWING’s Kölsch is also down to just a few glasses left. For anyone looking for the crisp, clean drinkability that defines a Kölsch, this is a lineup to check out now. According to the post, other kegs also seem likely to kick within the week, so turnover at the taps is quite fast.
The beer pub is located on the first floor of Okuno Hosomichi Building at 2-6-25 Chuo-machi, Oita City, Oita Prefecture. Rather than relying on flashy presentation, it carefully tells you what’s currently connected, and it suits a stop for a beer on the way home from work. Should you go for the sturdy drinking satisfaction of an IPA, or a brisk reset with a Kölsch? The current state of Extra Hop is a setup any beer lover would find intriguing.
