Located right next to Wakakusa Park in central Oita City, `craft beer "Extra Hop"` is a craft-beer specialty pub that keeps around seven taps on at all times. In addition to popular brands from Japan and abroad, it also carries beers from microbreweries, and one of its charms is that the lineup on tap changes every time you visit.

What stands out in this post is `Space Beach`, connected from Trademark Brewing in Long Beach, California, USA. The post describes it as having a “grassy and crisp drinking character,” and presents it as a pint suited to the season as the heat builds. It is a lively guest beer that feels easy to pick for a Friday night.

Also on the menu are Shimanami Pilsner and karuizawa Q’s Irish Red, and both are said to be close to running out soon. Extra Hop is the kind of place where, if you stop by when a beer you’re curious about appears, you can find the pint of the day. Even first-timers can easily walk in, since the owner recommends beers based on your taste, making it a welcoming spot for anyone unsure about what style to choose.

On this day, the place is said to be operating solo, so the food selection is limited, but that makes it just right for a night when you want the beer to take center stage. In addition, there is notice of the final Le TAMAÏ collaboration from June 12 to 14, and temporary closures on June 21 and July 4. It’s also within walking distance from Oita Station, so it’s a good choice for a day when you want to casually compare draft beers in the city center.
