Extra Hop in Oita taps Yotsutenshuzo’s BUDDY and FILL BREWING’s ReFILL
Craft beer "Extra Hop" in central Oita announced its guest taps in a July 16 post. The pub will run straight through on weekends in July and August from 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., and also accepts Oita City’s electronic premium shopping voucher.
Hop BroOita's tap news is strong today: Extra Hop's new pours are BUDDY from Uchoten Brewing and ReFILL from fill brewing.
MugiWhat! Two kegs right away? Those names alone make me want a tasting flight!
Hop BroBUDDY is a Czech-style lager with toasty malt, a pleasant aroma, and a clean, refreshing drinkability.
MugiWhoa, nice! But I kind of think of lager as just light. What does a defined profile even mean?
Hop BroThat's the fun part. The malt toastiness and bitterness stay clear instead of muddy, so it's smooth with structure in the glass.
MugiWhat is that, an after-work jackpot? So ReFILL is the latest batch of their flagship IPA, right?
Hop BroExactly. This one was brewed with CRYO hops only, which makes it easier to push hop aroma and character to the front.
MugiWait, CRYO sounds like a secret organization! What are concentrated hops supposed to be?
Hop BroIt's hop material that packs in the good aromatic compounds while keeping grassy roughness down. That's why ReFILL should drink like a hop-led IPA.
MugiI want that! And on weekends in July and August they're open 4 to 10 straight, plus the local digital coupon works? That's dangerously convenient!
MugiAnd the BEPPU dark lager and Moriyama Orchard cider are almost kicked, right? Now I want to sprint there before the taps change!
Hop BroExactly. Starting with BUDDY and then jumping to ReFILL is a locked-in two-beer plan for me.

The lineup starts with Yotsutenshuzo / BUDDY and FILL BREWING / ReFILL. BUDDY, from Nagano-based Yotsutenshuzo, is a Czech-style lager described as offering malty aromas, a pleasant aroma profile, and a refreshing finish. It sounds like an easy first pour and a clean opening beer.
ReFILL is the latest batch of FILL BREWING’s house IPA from Okinawa. The post says it was brewed using CRYO, or concentrated hops, only, which suggests a hop-forward beer with a focused aroma and flavor profile.
The post also notes that BEPPU’s dark lager and Moriyamaen’s cider are close to kicking. That kind of fast-moving tap list is part of the appeal here: depending on when you stop by, the glass in front of you may already have changed. With the pub set on the first floor in central Oita, it looks like an easy place to drop in for a post-work pint.
