DevilCraft's new IPA and BEPPU BREWERY's CAL DUSK tapped at Extra Hop in Oita
At craft beer pub Extra Hop in Chuo-machi, Oita City, DevilCraft Brewery's new IPA "Flamekeeper" and the collaboration beer "CAL DUSK" with BEPPU BREWERY were introduced. The rotating tap for the bar's 4th-anniversary beer is also moving along, and activity at the shop is lively.
Hop BroExtra Hop in Oita is really heating up. This time, DevilCraft Brewery's new IPA "Flamekeeper" and the BEPPU BREWERY collaboration "CAL DUSK" have been tapped, so the taps inside are getting pretty lively.
MugiWhoa! Just a new IPA being tapped is enough to make me excited! But "Flamekeeper" sounds almost too strong, doesn't it?
Hop BroWell, Flamekeeper is an IPA that puts hop aroma first. It's the kind that hits you hard with aroma and makes IPA fans grin.
MugiHop aroma again! What is hop aroma anyway? Something like a floral smell? Or is it the prelude to bitterness?
Hop BroGood question. Simply put, it's the main attraction in the aroma that comes from hops. It can be citrusy, piney, or tropical-fruity, so it has appeal beyond just bitterness.
MugiOhh! Then I'm curious about "CAL DUSK" too! A local collaboration beer somehow feels special, doesn't it?
Hop BroExactly. Since it's a collaboration between Extra Hop and BEPPU BREWERY, you can really feel the connection to Beppu. It's the kind of beer where the shop's character and regional identity overlap, so there's already a story before you even drink it.
MugiAnd BALDYS' Summer Mandarin Saison is close to running out too, right? Wow, it's hard to keep up!
Hop BroYeah, and TOPA TOPA's limited IPA is also nearing the end of its run, so the keg rotation is intense, which is what makes Extra Hop feel like Extra Hop. The 4th-anniversary beer is already on its 12th keg, so the turnover is fast and you can't take your eyes off it.
MugiThen I have to go! It's the kind of place where if you don't drink it now, you'll miss it.
Hop BroExactly. Near Oita Station, I want to enjoy Flamekeeper, CAL DUSK, and the shifting tap lineup all together, and go all out from the first glass tonight.
Guest beer updates at Extra Hop in Oita
At craft beer "Extra Hop," located on the first floor of the Okuno Hosomichi Building at 2-6-25 Chuo-machi, Oita City, an Instagram post announced a change in the guest beer lineup. The shop is a beer pub with seven taps available at all times, featuring a calm space centered on wooden walls and beer descriptions written by the owner himself.
The first thing that stands out in this post is DevilCraft Brewery's new IPA, `Flamekeeper`. It is being introduced as a beer that lets you fully enjoy hop aroma, and it looks like a glass that IPA fans will want to try. In addition, `CAL DUSK`, a collaboration between `Extra Hop` and `BEPPU BREWERY`, is also on offer. A pairing with a local Beppu brewery can be seen as a lineup where the shop's character and regional identity overlap.
Other beers include `BALDYS`' `Summer Mandarin Saison`, which is said to be close to running out, and a limited IPA from `TOPA TOPA`, which is also moving toward the end of its run. On top of that, the shop's 4th-anniversary beer has reached its 12th keg, showing that it too is entering its final stretch. The rapid turnover from keg to keg is very much like Extra Hop, where the character changes depending on when you visit.
The post also included business information: from May 2 to May 5, the shop will be open from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.; it will be closed on May 6 and May 10; and a collaboration event with `Le TAMAÏ` is scheduled for May 15 to 17. For anyone near Oita Station who wants to enjoy carefully selected kegs and the owner's eye for beer, this is a place worth checking out.
