Want a Beer in Utsunomiya to pour six taps on June 5
Want a Beer, a beer pub in Utsunomiya's Motoimaizumi district, will open from 15:00 to 23:00 on June 5 (last order 22:00). The lineup includes a Hop Kotan x BLACK TIDE BREWING collab, beers from Shiga Kogen, Karuizawa Q, Keika Brewing, and two house anniversary releases.
Hop BroWant a Beer in Utsunomiya is pouring six taps today, and two of them are original beers for its fifth anniversary. On June 5, it's open from 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., with last order at 10:00.
MugiWhat! Two anniversary originals out of just six taps? That's not a tap list, that's a birthday flex!
Hop BroThe headliner is ONE LAP BEHIND. It's a Hoppukotan x BLACK TIDE BREWING collab, a yuzu saison with a woody note from Sorachi Ace, and beer nerds are going to grin immediately.
MugiHold on, what's a saison? And 'woody from Sorachi Ace' sounds like you just described a forest in a pint glass!
Hop BroThink of saison as a crisp aromatic ale. It's light and lively, and Sorachi Ace is a hop that can bring citrusy, woodsy character, so it pairs really well with yuzu.
MugiOkay, so SNOW MONKEY IPA gives grapefruit and white peach vibes, while Karuizawa Q's 'Michi Sugara' brings biscuit and caramel in an Irish Red? This lineup has range!
Hop BroExactly, that style range is the whole appeal. It jumps from bright, hoppy IPA to a maltier, cozy Irish Red, so there's something for whatever mood you're in.
MugiBut I am absolutely locked on Fresh!!!. Romanchikku Mura x Want a Beer, five hand-squeezed citrus fruits, and a fruit sour ale? That sounds aggressively refreshing.
Hop BroAnd the other original, SPECIALS, is no slouch either. It's a Belgian white with amanatsu, Kiyomi orange, hassaku, mikan, and lemon peel, then coriander tightens up the finish.
MugiWait, coriander in beer actually works? And Belgian white sounds like I'm about to drink a tiny polite cloud.
Hop BroThat image is honestly close. Belgian white usually has a soft wheat body and gentle spice, and Keika Brewing's 'Unite' adds passion fruit, tropical fruit, and Aomori apple juice in a hazy pale ale that's juicy but easy to drink.
MugiWith flounder carpaccio, oyster and tomato spring rolls, cold Genovese pasta, and pizza on the menu, LINE beats DM for reservations. I'm starting with 'Fresh!!!,' you're taking 'ONE LAP BEHIND,' and now I need this immediately!
Want a Beer, a beer pub in Motoimaizumi, Utsunomiya, is scheduled to open on June 5 from 15:00 to 23:00, with last order at 22:00. The post also highlights the day's food lineup, which runs from seafood-forward appetizers to pasta, pizza, and dessert, alongside a six-beer tap list.
The headline pour is 'ONE LAP BEHIND,' a collaboration between Hop Kotan and BLACK TIDE BREWING. It is described as a saison with yuzu aroma and woody notes from Sorachi Ace. Other taps include 'SNOW MONKEY IPA' from Shiga Kogen Beer, an IPA with grapefruit, lychee, and white peach notes, and '道すがら' from Karuizawa Q, an Irish red with biscuit, caramel, and dried-fruit character.
Two local anniversary beers are also on tap. 'Fresh!!!' from Romanchikku-mura × Want a Beer is a fifth-anniversary original fruit sour ale made with hand-squeezed juice from five citrus fruits. 'SPECIALS,' another fifth-anniversary original, is a Belgian white brewed with the peels of amanatsu, kiyomi orange, hassaku, mikan, and lemon, with coriander sharpening the finish.
'Unite' from Keika Brewing rounds out the list. The hazy pale ale adds passion fruit, tropical fruit, and Aomori apple juice for a fruit-driven but drinkable profile. The food menu leans into pairings: flounder and sea asparagus carpaccio, barracuda fritters, oyster and tomato spring rolls, cold Genovese pasta, and pizza. Reservations are directed through the LINE link in the profile, with the post noting that Instagram DMs may be slow.
