Extra Hop in Oita taps Karuizawa Q's Syako, with Yamorido IPA and Minoh Pilsner also pouring
The beer pub craft beer "Extra Hop" in Oita's Chuo-machi has tapped Karuizawa Q's "Syako". House Yamorido's 7th Anniversary IPA and Minoh Beer's Pilsner are also listed, while weekend hours run from 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. through July and August.
Hop BroThe big story today is that Extra Hop in Oita just tapped Karuizawa Q’s Shakou.
MugiWhat! That name already sounds cool, and a Karuizawa Q IPA is instantly on my radar!
Hop BroAnd the owner calls it an easy-drinking IPA with hop aroma up front, but still smooth enough to keep sipping.
MugiOh wow! But wait, what does easy-drinking hop-forward even mean? Isn’t IPA just super bitter?
Hop BroThis is more of an aroma-first build, where the beer lifts your mood with fragrance instead of just punching you with bitterness.
MugiWhat is that! IPA suddenly sounds like a flower shop! Also, what does almost kicked mean?
Hop BroIt means the keg is nearly empty. So Yamorido’s 7th Anniversary IPA is a hurry-up beer, and Minoh’s pilsner is too.
MugiWhoa, so I can go bold with IPA or crisp with Minoh’s Pilsner? That’s the best kind of dilemma.
Hop BroAnd on weekends in July and August they’re open straight from 4 to 10 , so it’s easy to start early.
MugiThey even have a limited chicken chili roast today. Honestly, I’m ready to drink already!
Hop BroWith the post-event buzz still in the room, starting on Shakou and finishing with pilsner sounds like the perfect beer route.
MugiAbsolutely! If I’m picking tonight’s first pint at Extra Hop, I’m starting with Shakou.

Featured taps
The latest tap addition is Karuizawa Q's "Syako." The shop describes it as an IPA that is easy and pleasant to drink, with hop aroma pushed to the front. House Yamorido's "7th Anniversary IPA" is also on the board, and both beers are expected to kick quickly.
What to drink now
Minoh Beer's "Minoh no Pilsner" is also close to kicking. The night before, Extra Hop served BEPPU BREWERY beers at the live event "Jamaica Village Alumni Gathering," so the bar is carrying some of that event-night energy forward. The lineup moves cleanly from hop-forward IPA to crisp pilsner, making it easy to choose based on mood.
