A July 30 Instagram post from the Yokkaichi beer pub craft beer HOP CROWD highlights seven beers on tap, including Flora Fermentation's Heinzel and Isekado's revived Motokaku IPA, along with a two-day celebration on Aug. 1-2.
Hop BroYokkaichi's craft beer HOP CROWD is looking hot right now. They've posted an August appreciation fest along with a seven-tap lineup.
MugiWhat, seven beers? At a station-side beer pub like that? That's basically summer rescue service!
Hop BroThe first standout is Flora Fermentation's Heinzel Kolsch-style ale. It's a Kolsch Style Ale with a clean, refreshing character.
MugiWhoa, but Kolsch yeast sounds like something sitting on a shelf in a science lab. Should I be nervous?
Hop BroNot at all. That yeast-driven clean finish just means low muddiness and an easy, crisp drink. It's perfect for your first glass.
MugiOkay, so it's like the beer version of a white T-shirt! First-glass energy totally makes sense now!
Hop BroThe other headliner is Isekadoya Beer's Honkaku IPA revival. It's a 25th anniversary American IPA, so hop lovers can't skip it.
MugiWow, a commemorative IPA! And right next to it is NAMACHA'n Brewing's salt lemon sour? That menu has roller-coaster mood swings!
Hop BroAnd it keeps going with Sakekasu Hazy IPA ZAKU Natsuzake, Oni Densetsu's Kin-Oni Pale Ale Strata ver., plus NEKO BEER's white cat and almond-vanilla milk stout. That's a full hazy-to-stout range.
MugiWhat is this, sweet, bitter, and cat-themed too!? Nyampachi milk stout already sounds like dessert in a pint glass!
Hop BroOn top of that, it's running August 1 from 16:00 to 24:00 and August 2 from 13:00 to 21:00, with the place nicely chilled inside. That alone makes me want a drink.
MugiThat's it, we're going! I want a Yokkaichi tasting run starting with Heinzel and finishing with either Honkaku IPA or the salt lemon sour. My throat is ready already!
craft beer HOP CROWD, a beer pub in Suwa-Sakaecho, Yokkaichi, updated its Instagram on July 30 with a fresh tap list and a notice for its August celebration. The post says the shop will keep the interior cool, making it a comfortable stop even in the summer heat.
The first beer that stands out is Flora Fermentation's `Heinzel`, a Kölsch-style ale. The caption describes it as clean and refreshing, driven by Kölsch yeast character. It looks like a natural first pour for drinkers who want something crisp and easygoing.
Another highlight is Isekado's `Motokaku IPA`. The post notes it as a revival of the brewery's 25th anniversary beer, so it should appeal to anyone looking for a more classic, firmly hopped American IPA. The lineup also includes NAMACHA Brewing's `Salt Lemon Sour`, which brings a brighter, more savory-sour profile to the board.
Other beers listed are Isekado's `Sakekasu Hazy IPA ZAKU Summer Sake`, Noboribetsu Jibeer Oni Densetsu's `Kinoni Pale Ale Strata ver.`, and two NEKO BEER offerings: `Shiroi Neko from Neko Beer` and `Patisserie Nyampachi ~ Almond Vanilla Milk Stout`. With styles ranging from hazy IPA to pale ale to milk stout, the tap list offers a wide spread of flavors.
The celebration is scheduled for Aug. 1 from 16:00 to 24:00 and Aug. 2 from 13:00 to 21:00. For beer fans in Yokkaichi, it is a straightforward lineup with enough variety to move from a crisp Kölsch-style ale to a fuller IPA or a dessert-like stout in one visit.
