Extra Hop in Oita taps Tsugaru Brewing’s "Arigato! IPA" and three more beers
Craft beer pub Extra Hop in central Oita has announced a fresh tap lineup. The selection includes Tsugaru Brewing’s "Arigato! IPA," Aozora Brewery’s TENYA HARE HUNT, plus a pilsner from Falò Brewing and a limited IPA from Firestone Walker.
Hop BroOita's craft beer "Extra Hop" just tapped four new draft beers. From IPA to pilsner, the range is wide enough to make the whole tap list exciting.
MugiWhat, four at once? And not just IPAs either? That actually sounds super friendly for someone still figuring out craft beer!
Hop BroThe headliner is Tsugaru Brewing's "Arigatou! IPA", the first release from Chris, who spent years as head brewer at Kyoto Brewing.
MugiNo way, a debut IPA? And it's called 'Thank You!'? I'd feel appreciated before I even took a sip.
Hop BroIt also uses Aomori-grown rice, with solid bitterness and a crisp finish that keeps everything sharp and clean.
MugiOkay, but what does crisp mean here? Is the beer somehow crunchy now? Should I be worried?
Hop BroNo crunch, relax. It means a clean, snappy finish so the flavor doesn't drag or feel heavy afterward.
MugiOhhh! Then what about Aozora Brewery Hakata Tenyamachi's TENYA HARE HUNT? That name already sounds like it's running laps.
Hop BroThat's a new English pale ale with a well-balanced malt profile. Falò Brewing covers the lighter side with a pilsner, and Firestone Walker brings the hop punch with a limited IPA.
MugiWow, that's from light to loud in one lineup! If Extra Hop rotates taps this fast, I want to get there now and order food with it before anything runs out.
Hop BroExactly, this calls for an early tap check. I'd start with Arigatou! IPA, then go through TENYA HARE HUNT, the pilsner, and that limited IPA before they disappear.

IPA," Aozora Brewery Hakata Tenyamachi’s "TENYA HARE HUNT," a pilsner from Falò Brewing, and a limited IPA from Firestone Walker.

"Arigato! IPA" is the first release from Tsugaru Brewing, founded by Chris, who previously worked as head brewer at Kyoto Brewing. According to the post, it uses rice from Aomori and finishes crisp with firm bitterness. It is the kind of beer that shows both a new brewery’s energy and a clear local character.

`Extra Hop` sits on the first floor of Okuno Hosomichi Building in Oita City and focuses on craft beer. Because the taps change often, it is the kind of place where regular visits can still bring new discoveries. The post also suggests food was going well that night, reinforcing its appeal as a pub where beer and a meal can be paired naturally.
