Beer O'clock adds Noroshi Session IPA and Firestone Walker Parabola 2016
Beer O'clock, a beer pub in Fujimi, Chiba City, posted an update on June 18 introducing two guest taps: Noroshi Brewery's Session IPA and Firestone Walker's barrel-aged imperial stout Parabola 2016.
Hop BroBeer O'clock in Chiba just lined up a seriously wild contrast today, a tale of two beers.
MugiWait, what? Beer with two totally different personalities? That range is ridiculous!
Hop BroOne is Noroshi Brewing's Noroshi Session IPA. It's a 3.7% Session IPA with citrus, pine, and a soft tropical note in the aroma.
MugiOkay, but what is Session IPA? It sounds like a yoga class with hops.
Hop BroIt means a lower-ABV IPA that's easy to keep drinking. This one stays dry and crisp, with flavor without the watery drop-off.
MugiOhhh, so it's easygoing but still tastes like a real IPA. Dangerously crushable, noted!
Hop BroThen the other one is Firestone Walker's Parabola 2016. It's a BA Imperial Stout at 13.1%, basically final-boss beer.
Mugi13.1%!? That's not a beer, that's a dark wizard in a glass! And what does BA even mean?
Hop BroBA means barrel-aged. It spent a full year in blended bourbon barrels like Elijah Craig, Four Roses, Pappy Van Winkle, Woodford Reserve, and Buffalo Trace, so the barrel does its magic.
MugiWow, from bright and crisp Noroshi Session IPA to rich, massive Parabola 2016, that's a full flavor trip in one pub!
Hop BroAnd Beer O'clock has more coming too: a 13th anniversary beer on June 21, plus events on June 27 and June 28. The calendar looks delicious.
MugiThat's it, I'm getting off at Chiba Station and heading straight there. First pint and last sipper both sound perfect!
Beer O'clock, a beer pub in Fujimi, Chiba City, announced its latest taps in a June 18 Instagram post. The lineup pairs an easygoing session IPA with a powerful barrel-aged imperial stout, giving regulars two very different ways to drink at the bar.
- Noroshi Brewery, "Noroshi Session IPA" (Session IPA / 3.7%)
The beer is described as bringing citrus, pine, and a hint of tropical fruit. It keeps a light body while still showing clear hop aroma and a crisp, dry finish. The post emphasizes that it stays easy to drink without losing its IPA character.
- Firestone Walker, "Parabola 2016" (BA Imperial Stout / 13.1%)
This barrel-aged imperial stout was blended from bourbon barrels including Elijah Craig, Four Roses, Pappy Van Winkle, Woodford Reserve, and Buffalo Trace, then matured for a full year. The result is presented as deep, intense, and imposing, the kind of beer that rewards slow drinking.
Beer O'clock is a craft-beer-focused beer pub in central Chiba where guests can settle in and drink at a relaxed pace. The same post also points to upcoming dates on June 21, June 27, and June 28, including the bar's 13th anniversary event, so the tap list and the schedule are both worth watching.
