Three beers including Inkhorn's "Bulbul" are tapped at BEERKICHI; Yuri Fest starts March 27
BEERKICHI Biakichi in Watanabe-dori, Chuo Ward, Fukuoka City, opens at 3:00 p.m. on Friday, March 27. Three New on Tap labels from Tokyo, Fukuoka, and Yamanashi will line up, and "Yuri Fest 2026" also begins the same day and runs through the 30th.
Hop BroAt BEERKICHI in Fukuoka's Watanabe-dori, three beers have been tapped. And from March 27 to 30, Yuri Fest 2026 is happening at the same time too. That's the kind of thing that makes you want to swing by on the weekend.
MugiWhat! Yuri Fest 2026 already sounds fun from the name alone! But does "New on Tap" mean there's a new beer on the tap?
Hop BroExactly. The most exciting moment is when the taps get rotated in. Today's standout is Tokyo's Inkhorn / Bulbul, a Fruited Sour at ABV 6.0%. It's the kind of beer that brings together fruity aroma and acidity, with a crisp, tight finish.
MugiA fruited sour means it's sour and fruity? It sounds kind of like dessert, but it's beer?
Hop BroThat's right, but it finishes with acidity rather than too much sweetness, so it's easy to keep drinking. Fukuoka's NEKOBEER / Nerutora-san is a DDH IPA at ABV 6.5%, and being able to drink a local tap right there is very BEERKICHI.
MugiDDH is another new spell! How much hop do you put into a DDH IPA?
Hop BroGood question. DDH is short for double dry hop, a method where hops are added after fermentation to boost aroma. And Yamanashi's Uchu Deluxe Citra is a TDH DIPA at ABV 8.5%, made for people who want a big hop punch.
MugiWhoa, a big hop punch? That wording alone hits hard! But TDH sounds like total hop chaos, doesn't it?
Hop BroPretty close. TDH stands for triple dry hop, so it's like layering the aroma again and again. That's why these three offer a spread from acidity to rich intensity, making for a fun tasting lineup.
MugiI see, with a 3:00 p.m. opening and midnight closing, you can drink early or late! This makes me want to go to BEERKICHI and work through them one by one!
Hop BroAnd because it's a beer pub in an alley, there's the fun of just dropping in and choosing from the day's lineup. A tap journey across Tokyo, Fukuoka, and Yamanashi really has strong quality today.
MugiI can't take it, I want to drink right now! I want to start with Bulbul's sourness, or get hit by the hops in Uchu Deluxe Citra, and toast while deciding!
