Beer O'clock Offers Three Guest Beers, Including Johana Brewery’s Earl Grey
Beer O'clock, a craft beer pub in Fujimi, Chiba, is offering three distinctive guest beers: a bergamot-scented herbal beer, a smoked Märzen with shiitake umami, and a rich barrel-aged blend served by the glass.
Hop BroBeer O'clock in Chiba's Fujimi area has three distinctive guest beers on tap. You can travel from bright aromatics to smoky depth and dessert-like richness in one night.
MugiWhat, a whole trip in one night? Do I need a beer passport? That range of flavors sounds wild!
Hop BroFirst is Johana Brewery's Earl Grey, a bergamot-forward Herb & Spice Beer at 5.0%. It is described as having a sparkling-wine-like elegance.
MugiHerb and spice beer—did they dunk tea into beer? What does bergamot aroma actually do?
Hop BroIt is less like drinking tea and more like adding a refined citrus-floral lift. So it stays bright and easy-drinking while the aroma dances above it.
MugiOoh, I want that as an aperitif! But then I heard shiitake. Dried mushrooms in beer? Suddenly this is dinner!
Hop BroNoroshi Brewing's UMAMI2025 is a 7.0% Rauch Märzen, pairing dried-shiitake umami with smoked-malt character.
MugiRauch Märzen? That sounds like a spell! So it is basically smoky shiitake beer?
Hop BroThat is a fair shortcut! Rauch means smoked, while Märzen is a lager style with a rounded malt body—so expect savory smoky depth that should love food.
MugiThen I want something sweet to finish. WHITE OUT sounds like a snowy dessert beer already!
Hop BroMikkeller × 3 Sons' WHITE OUT blends imperial stout and barleywine, then ages it in apple-brandy barrels. It is a rich, glass-poured 13.8% ABV beer.
Mugi13.8%?! That is the final boss of beer! But with coconut, vanilla, and marshmallow, I want a drinkable dessert moment.
Hop BroThat sequence sounds perfect: Earl Grey for lift, UMAMI2025 with food, and WHITE OUT for the finale. Check availability, then let's taste through Beer O'clock.
MugiDeal! I want every aroma, every mushroomy note, and every barrel-aged sip. Tonight, our Chiba beer adventure begins!
Three distinctive beers on offer
Beer O'clock is featuring Johana Brewery’s “Earl Grey,” Noroshi Brewing’s “UMAMI2025,” and Mikkeller × 3 Sons’ “WHITE OUT.”
“Earl Grey” is a 5.0% Herb & Spice Beer built around the bright aroma of bergamot. The original post describes it as drinking somewhat like sparkling wine, making it a fitting choice for a fragrant and refreshing first pour.
Noroshi Brewing’s “UMAMI2025” is a 7.0% Rauch Märzen. Dried shiitake mushrooms contribute savory depth, while smoked malt adds a gentle smoky character. The result goes beyond simple smokiness, combining malt richness with a distinctly Japanese expression of umami.
For a heavier finish, “WHITE OUT” is available by the glass. The 13.8% beer blends imperial stout and barleywine, then receives extended aging in apple brandy barrels. Coconut, vanilla, and marshmallow notes add a dessert-like richness to the profile.
