Yokkaichi’s craft beer HOP CROWD posts a July event notice and a seven-beer tap list
On June 25, craft beer HOP CROWD in Yokkaichi announced a July 11 event, “Shin-fan-chan’s the 6 dish,” and shared its latest tap lineup. The list includes a new collaboration from Ise Kadoya Beer and Oni Densetsu, plus beers from Oni Densetsu, NAMACHAん Brewing, West Coast Brewing, and more.
Hop BroYokkaichi's latest HOP CROWD update is a strong one. They announced the July 11 event, “Shinfan-chan's the 6 dish,” and revealed a seven-tap lineup at the same time.
MugiWhat, seven taps at once? That's not a lineup, that's a full-on festival! We need a tasting strategy before the event even starts, right?
Hop BroThe headline pour is Onishibori Lager, a fresh keg from Isekadoya Beer × Oni Densetsu. The style is West Coast Pilsner, so it drinks crisp but still lets the hops show off.
MugiWest Coast Pilsner sounds cool, but what does that actually taste like? Am I supposed to hear surf music when I sip it?
Hop BroNo surf included, but it's basically a pilsner with bigger hop aroma. You get that clean lager snap, plus citrusy notes and a tidy bitterness, so it's refreshing without feeling plain.
MugiWhat is that, refreshing but memorable? That's like the class president suddenly pulling out a guitar at the school festival.
Hop BroAnd the rest of the board is great too. It's a wide-ranging lineup with Kin Oni Pale Ale Mosaic ver., Asakusa Line Mikan Ale, Starwatcher Tsuyu, and Kuri Kuro all on deck.
MugiWait, from mikan ale to dark beer? That range is ridiculous. My stomach just volunteered for the assignment.
Hop BroThey also have Dok Brewing's Matti Heeft Al Meer Sterren Gezien Dan Een Astroloog and Neko Beer's Giri Moza. A list like this gives you a great tasting flow from the first glass to the last.
MugiThen I just need to remember the temporary closure dates on June 28 and June 30, and aim for the days around the July 11 event. Lager first, mikan next, dark beer last!
Hop BroThat's a solid route. In a place like this, tap updates drive visits, and on event day you'll absolutely want to pair those beers with food.
MugiI'm sold. I want a pint now, and half the fun at HOP CROWD is already going to be standing there wondering which one to start with.

The board spans a new West Coast Pilsner, a pale ale, a citrus-leaning ale, and a dark beer, so it offers a broad tasting range rather than a single style focus. For beer drinkers in Yokkaichi, this kind of regularly updated tap list is exactly the sort of post that makes a visit feel timely.
If you plan to stop by, it is worth checking the closure dates and the event schedule before heading out.
