Located on the second floor of the Haniwa Kaikan building in central Nobeoka, 麦酒蔵Hideji is the taproom-style beer pub of HIDEJI BEER, a brewery based in Nobeoka, Miyazaki. Its September Instagram post, titled “September🌰...,” evokes the arrival of autumn and the brewery’s chestnut-focused beer culture.

The beer most closely associated with that theme is 栗黒. This flavored stout is brewed with Miyazaki chestnut purée and roasted barley. It combines coffee-like roast aromas with an elegant chestnut fragrance and a full, substantial body. At 9% ABV, it is a beer to sip slowly rather than drink quickly, with its aromas and sweetness becoming more expressive as it warms.

栗黒 is also suitable for aging in the bottle. It can be enjoyed immediately, while further maturation allows the alcohol, malt character, and flavors to integrate into a smoother, more rounded profile. It is an especially interesting choice for drinkers who enjoy comparing how a beer develops over time.

At 麦酒蔵Hideji, guests can enjoy HIDEJI BEER on draft alongside food in a relaxed pub setting. The venue works equally well for an after-work drink or a meal built around local craft beer. Availability, pricing, and the current tap list may change, so visitors should check the latest information with the pub before ordering.
