HOP CROWD in Yokkaichi updates taps with Oni Densetsu and NEKO BEER additions
The beer pub craft beer HOP CROWD in Yokkaichi, Mie, refreshed its tap list with new pours from Oni Densetsu and NEKO BEER, alongside eight beers and cider spanning crisp pilsner, hop-forward IPA, and dessert stout.
Hop BroYokkaichi's craft beer HOP CROWD just rolled out a fresh tap update, and it's a strong one. Oni Densetsu's Kaneoni Pale Ale Comet ver. and NEKO BEER's Nerutora-san are newly on tap, so you're indecisive from the first glance.
MugiWait, two new taps at once? And the names Oni Densetsu and NEKO BEER somehow sound fierce and cute at the same time!
Hop BroExactly. Kaneoni Pale Ale Comet ver. has a nice balance of citrus and tropical notes, and Nerutora-san is a DDH West Coast IPA with a clean finish and a crisp bitter snap.
MugiHold on, what even is DDH!? You said that like a spell, but I don't have to chant it before drinking, right?
Hop BroNo chanting required. DDH means Double Dry Hopped, basically adding more hop aroma after fermentation. In plain terms, it's extra aroma mode.
MugiOhhh! So it's the kind that wraps your nose in hops. If I'm starting the lineup, where do I begin?
Hop BroFor the opener, I'd go with CRAK's Pizzapils or Isekado Beer’s Isekado West Coast Pilsner. The first has that Extra Dry-Hopped Italian Pilsner sharpness and citrus lift, and the second layers hops over lager in a really approachable way.
MugiI thought pilsners were just the easygoing ones, but they have that much personality? Also, Pizzapils is weaponized hunger marketing and I respect it.
Hop BroIf you want a reset in the middle, FABBRICA BIRRA PERUGIA's Sidro di Mele is the move. It's a very dry cider, so it works like a palate reset button.
MugiThat is absurdly useful. Then for the second half, I want Faction's Commando 450 IPA or Isekado Beer’s Noga Torokeru Ultra Heaven for peak hop time!
Hop BroThat's the right arc. Ultra Heaven is an American Style Triple IPA with huge dense hop character, and you can finish with NEKO BEER's strawberry ganache cake stout, so it's basically an all-in-one beer course.
MugiPilsner, IPA, cider, and dessert stout all in one stop... craft beer HOP CROWD is unfair. At this point, I need a tasting flight and my mouth is already heading to Yokkaichi!
