craft beer HOP CROWD is hosting “Yakisoba Yakitai” right now, with 8 beers on tap including new Yuya Boys releases
At craft beer HOP CROWD in Yokkaichi, Mie Prefecture, the taps were refreshed to coincide with the May 23 (Sat) and 24 (Sun) event “Yakisoba Yakitai.” Eight beers are on tap, including Yuya Boys’ new session IPA, making for a lineup that lets guests enjoy a wide range of styles alongside grilled dishes.
Hop BroAt `craft beer HOP CROWD` in Yokkaichi, Yakisoba Yakitai is underway. The taps have been changed to match the sauce-filled aroma, and it sounds like a really fun lineup.
MugiWait, what!? Even though it’s a beer event, it’s built around yakisoba!? My stomach is reacting before I even am!
Hop BroThe one to watch is `Yuya Boys`’ new beer, Flower Children Sakura Session. Since it’s a Session IPA, it’s light and easy to keep drinking.
MugiSo a session IPA means it’s light and easy to drink? That name sounds intense, but it’s being nice to me, which is unfair!
Hop BroExactly. It’s often designed to keep the alcohol lower while still delivering plenty of aroma, so it’s just right as the first beer of the event.
MugiAnd there are eight kinds!? Eight beers on tap is the kind of thing that makes you get lost in front of the taps!
Hop BroThe lineup is broad too. You’ve got Czech `Vinohradský pivovar`, `NEKOBEER`, `Oni Densetsu`, `West Coast Brewing`, `Beachwood`, `Ise Kadoya Beer`, and `Off Trail`, so it’s a really international lineup.
MugiHold on, WC IPA and Sour IPA and all these names are piling up! Does style variety really make that much of a difference?
Hop BroQuite a lot. For example, WC IPA tends to have a stronger hop aroma and a sharper finish, while Sour IPA brings acidity, so the flavor range is very wide.
MugiI see! If you pair that with sauce-based food, it feels like the meal gets to be the star too!
Hop BroExactly. At `craft beer HOP CROWD`, drinking with grilled dishes really works, and today is the kind of day where one beer turns into a dangerous number.
MugiI know! Beers on days like this never stop flowing, and now I want to raise a toast with yakisoba too!
