BEERKICHI Opens Three New Taps, Featuring IPA from BREAKEDGE and NEKOBEER
The beer pub BEERKICHI in Watanabe-dori, Fukuoka, will be open on Sunday, March 22 from 1:00 p.m. to midnight. The new pours include beers from Hiroshima's BREAKEDGE and Fukuoka's NEKOBEER, giving drinkers three easy-to-compare options ranging from DDH Hazy IPA to Session IPA.
Hop BroThree new taps have opened at BEERKICHI ビアキチ in Watanabe-dori, Fukuoka. On Sunday, March 22, it opens at 1:00 p.m. and closes at midnight, so it goes straight from daytime drinking to the final round.
MugiWhat, from afternoon to late night? And three new kegs at once? That's way too interesting.
Hop BroThe headline pours this time are DOG from BREAKEDGE in Hiroshima and two beers from NEKOBEER in Fukuoka. All three are IPA styles, so they're set up for easy comparisons.
MugiI know IPA, but what's a DDH Hazy IPA? That sounds like a spell.
Hop BroBroadly speaking, DDH means the beer is double dry-hopped, which loads up the aroma. Hazy is a style with some cloudiness and a juicy, soft mouthfeel.
MugiOh wow! So BREAKEDGE's DOG at 7.0% is probably going to hit hard with both aroma and drinkability!
Hop BroExactly. And NEKOBEER's Motto Nerutora-san is a DDH Hazy IPA at ABV 6.5%. Even within the same style family, it seems like it will be a bit lighter and more polished, which makes it interesting.
MugiI get it, but which one can you drink all the way to the end? If everything is heavy, my cheeks might end up pickled in hops!
Hop BroThat's where NEKOBEER's Ganso Nekoshogot! comes in. It's a Session IPA at ABV 4.5%, so it's easy to keep the glasses moving and gives you a flow from the first beer to the finish.
MugiGot it, so from the first beer to the last round they've got everything covered. Watching the taps and choosing sounds like a guaranteed good time!
Hop BroAnd the best part is choosing while watching the condition of the taps from the counter. That's the real charm of a beer pub. Today I'd want to chase all three taps at BEERKICHI, then finish with a slow, relaxing pint.
At BEERKICHI ビアキチ in Watanabe-dori, Chuo Ward, Fukuoka City, three guest beers were newly tapped to coincide with Sunday, March 22 service. With business hours that make it easy to stop by from daytime drinking through late-night sessions (1:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m.), it is shaping up to be a convenient day for craft beer fans.
This round of new taps is built around hop aroma and juiciness.
- DOG (BREAKEDGE)
Style: DDH Hazy IPA / ABV 7.0% (Hiroshima)
- Motto Nerutora-san (NEKOBEER)
Style: DDH Hazy IPA / ABV 6.5% (Fukuoka)
- Ganso Nekoshogot! (NEKOBEER)
Style: Session IPA / ABV 4.5% (Fukuoka)
Even though they are all IPA styles, the lineup pairs the substantial drinkability of DDH Hazy IPA with the lighter, easy-drinking flow of Session IPA, making it easy to build a progression from the first glass to the last. Being able to drink two NEKOBEER beers from the local Fukuoka brewery at the same time is also a point not to miss for anyone following the regional craft scene.
Another appeal of a beer pub is choosing your next glass while watching the taps from the counter. For anyone looking to drink in the Tenjin to Watanabe-dori area on the day of the new pours, this is a perfect fit.
