Hop BroThursday Maniac Beer Day is coming to Bakushu Yumeyomi in Gion, Kyoto, and it’s a special one-day event on March 19!
MugiReally? What time does it start? If even beginners like me are welcome as solo guests, it sounds easy to drop in!
Hop BroIt runs from 7:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., so it’s a short, packed night. The star is Yorocco Beer’s Liberation Pils!
MugiOh, I see! But what’s different about a German pils compared with a regular pils? The name alone sounds cool!
Hop BroThis one is designed with German malt and German hops to bring out a crisp, cool character. It’s the kind of beer where you can carefully pick up the nuances of hops!
MugiWhen you say nuances of hops, it suddenly sounds like a science class! So basically, you mean enjoying the layers of aroma?
Hop BroExactly! And because it’s poured as draft from the LUKR tower, the foam and mouthfeel should be great. Plus, they’re really pushing Saison Dupont in bottles.
MugiWhat? Draft and bottles, a two-sword style!? And pairing it with salsiccia with butterbur sprouts for a bittersweet pairing sounds amazing!
Hop BroIt feels like a night for chatting while tracing the flavors, rather than making a racket. This kind of Thursday luxury time in Gion really hits the spot.
MugiIt’s settled! On March 19, let’s go to Yumeyomi and drink both the draft beer and the Saison for a properly maniac experience!
Located on the 2nd floor of the Shimaya Building along Shijo-dori in Kyoto’s Higashiyama Ward, "Bakushu Yumeyomi" is a beer pub where you can focus on each glass in the calm atmosphere of Gion. The Thursday event introduced this time is a short-hour session on Thursday, March 19, 2026, from 7:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.
The beer announced as the star of the day is Yorocco Beer’s "Liberation Pils". Its style is German pils, and the serving concept emphasizes the cool aroma and flavor derived from German malt and German hops. It is a beer for people who want more than just easy drinking and want to carefully savor the nuances of hops.
Also featured in the bottle lineup, front and center, is "Saison Dupont". The post specifically mentions the appeal of the large bottle, the thought put into how it is poured, and its compatibility with food, clearly showing that the shop is pushing this label as one to drink right now. There is even a suggestion to pair it with bittersweet dishes such as salsiccia with butterbur sprouts, so the experience is designed not only around beer itself but also around pairing it with food.
True to the shop’s stance of "no large groups, solo guests welcome," this is an event suited to a night that values conversation and flavor over noise and crowds. For anyone in Kyoto on Thursday who wants to experience "maniac" from both draft and bottle sides, this is a day worth checking out.
