BREW CLASSIC introduces 'Kitsune no Yomeiri' for Beer Pub THE POOL's anniversary
Kanazawa's BREW CLASSIC highlighted 'Kitsune no Yomeiri,' a West Coast Pilsner brewed for Beer Pub THE POOL's first anniversary. The 5.5% beer leans into Nelson and Peacharine hop character, with citrus, stone fruit, and a crisp bitter finish.
Hop BroToday's pick is Kitsune no Yomeiri from Kanazawa's BREW CLASSIC, brewed for Beer Pub THE POOL's first anniversary. It's a West Coast Pilsner, and the name alone already makes you want a sip.
MugiWait, that fox-wedding name like the sunshower saying? That's oddly romantic for a beer that's making me thirsty on sight!
Hop BroAnd the beer itself is sharp too. It's a West Coast Pilsner at 5.5% ABV, built to keep pilsner crispness while snapping in hop aroma and bitterness.
MugiWhoa, but West Coast doesn't just mean it tastes better near the ocean? I'm already lost and we only used one compass direction!
Hop BroClose in spirit, wrong in meaning. Big aroma, dry finish and a firm bitter snap, that's the West Coast vibe here. Basically, a pilsner that smells vivid and drinks clean.
MugiOkay, then what is Maris Otter? That sounds less like malt and more like a knight with a cape.
Hop BroThis is where it gets fun: British-style malt. Pilsner malt sets the base, Maris Otter adds body, and Nelson plus Peacharine layer in sweet citrus and stone-fruit notes.
MugiNo way, Peacharine joins too? That's like a peach spirit and a citrus spirit holding a meeting inside the glass. And there's lime-zest energy on top?
Hop BroExactly, and with SH-45 the fermentation finishes clean, so the body stays light while the hops still keep a chewable edge. It's the kind of beer that keeps revealing more as you drink.
MugiHang on, finishes clean sounds like your yeast filed paperwork. You mean it's not sugary, and it goes down crisp and easy?
Hop BroThat's it. And BREW CLASSIC has chops too. The World Beer Cup gold mention matters, and their Katamachi taproom makes it easy to grab a draft or a can.
MugiI'm done for, the second I heard aroma and crispness my throat started celebrating the anniversary too. THE POOL or the taproom, I want a glass of Kitsune no Yomeiri right now!
Kanazawa-based BREW CLASSIC introduced 'Kitsune no Yomeiri' on Instagram as a beer brewed for Beer Pub THE POOL's first anniversary. The beer is a West Coast Pilsner at 5.5% ABV, built with Pilsner and Maris Otter malt, Nelson and Peacharine hops, and SH-45 yeast.
The tasting notes point to sweet-citrus and stone-fruit aromatics, followed by a lime-zest brightness that sharpens the finish. The body is described as clean and easy to drink, while still delivering enough hop presence to give each sip structure. It is the kind of beer that feels refreshing at pace, yet detailed enough to reward a slower pour.
The post also reflects the brewery's broader identity. BREW CLASSIC runs a direct taproom in Katamachi, Kanazawa, where draft beer and cans can be enjoyed or taken home. With a World Beer Cup gold medal mentioned in the post, the brewery's confidence comes through clearly. For drinkers looking for a hop-forward, crisp pint in Kanazawa, this is a name worth following.
