Yokkaichi: Oni Densetsu and NEKO BEER newly tapped at craft beer HOP CROWD, with eight taps on offer
The beer pub craft beer HOP CROWD in Yokkaichi, Mie, updated its tap list. Two new beers from Oni Densetsu and NEKO BEER were added, bringing the lineup to eight beers that also includes CRAK, Isekadoya Beer, Faction, and an Italian cider.
Hop BroThe 8-tap update in Yokkaichi is hot. craft beer HOP CROWD swapped the taps, brought in new pours from Oni Densetsu and NEKO BEER, and lined up everything from pilsners to dessert stout.
MugiWhat! From pilsner to stout? That's an insane range! Being able to have that much fun at one place is basically a beer amusement park!
Hop BroThe first newcomer is the Kinoni Pale Ale, right? It's Oni Densetsu's Comet ver., and it has citrus notes with a touch of tropical character, but the whole thing is nicely put together, so it's the kind that isn't too flashy yet still leaves an impression.
MugiComet ver.? What is that! When you say aroma from Comet, it makes me think a comet fell from the sky!
Hop BroThat's the hop variety name. In short, it means it's a beer that's likely to give off a citrusy aroma, so don't worry, stars aren't literally falling into the flavor.
MugiI see! Then NEKO BEER's Nerutora-san sounds interesting too! DDH West Coast IPA sounds strong just from the name, but what does it taste like?
Hop BroThe key point is the clear drinking finish. DDH means the hops are layered on heavily with dry hopping, and West Coast IPA is crisp and bitter; with citrus aroma on top of that, it has a nice balance of sharpness and fragrance.
MugiWow! Bitter yet refreshing? That's kind of sneaky. It's the kind that looks easy to drink, then hits you hard afterward!
Hop BroThe rest are interesting too: CRAK's Pizzapils is a brisk pilsner, Isekadoya Beer's 'Ultra Heaven That Melts Your Brain' is a dense IPA style, and the 'Isekado West Coast Pilsner' adds some crispness.
MugiWhoa, even the names are intense, and the contents are genuinely different! It feels like each one has its own role, and a tasting lineup like that would make my brain happy!
Hop BroAnd since there's also Faction's Commando 450 IPA, the Italian cider Sidro di Mele, and NEKO BEER's dessert stout, you can build a flow that starts light and ends with something dark and rich.
MugiIt's basically the right answer from start to finish! If I saw a lineup like this in Yokkaichi, I'd want to head straight to HOP CROWD and have a drink with you too!
