Two NEKOBEER beers on tap at Fukuoka BEERKICHI, opens at 1:00 PM on March 20
Fukuoka's beer pub "BEERKICHI Beer Kichi" will open at 1:00 PM and close at midnight on Friday, March 20, a national holiday. At the same time, two new taps, including a new NEKOBEER release, are being announced, making for a tap lineup well suited to kicking off holiday daytime drinking.
Hop BroAt BEERKICHI Beer Kichi in Watanabe-dori, Fukuoka, on Friday, March 20, a national holiday, it opens at 1:00 PM and closes at midnight. That's a pretty ambitious schedule, from daytime drinking all the way to just before the last train.
MugiWhat! Being able to drink from afternoon into the night is amazing, isn't it? Just the fact that it's a holiday already gets me excited, and this is basically a guaranteed stop!
Hop BroAnd the highlight this time is that two NEKOBEER beers are newly on tap. I like that you can drink beer from a Fukuoka brewery at a Fukuoka beer pub right there on the spot.
MugiWhat? So New on Tap means a fresh keg was just connected? I thought maybe they were doing some secret ritual in the back of the shop!
Hop BroExactly, it means it's just been connected to the taps. One is Motto Nerutora-san, and the style is TDH Hazy IPA, with 6.5% ABV.
MugiWhoa, TDH Hazy IPA sounds like a spell! And 6.5% means it looks cute but is actually pretty strong...?
Hop BroTDH stands for triple dry hop, a method that layers in hop aroma. Hazy means a cloudy, juicy style, and it tends to have a bold aroma and a satisfying body.
MugiOhhh! Then what kind of beer is the other one, Ganso Nekoshogott!? Just the name makes it feel relaxed and friendly!
Hop BroThe other one is a Session IPA at 4.5% ABV. In other words, it's the kind you can drink easily. Even though it's the same NEKOBEER, this one is easier to keep sipping, so it's a fun lineup for a side-by-side comparison.
MugiWow, a fun comparison sounds great. If there's one full-bodied one and one light one side by side, I'd end up ordering both.
Hop BroAnd BEERKICHI is easy to drop by in Watanabe-dori, so it's convenient for both your first stop and your last stop. There's also event info for March 27 to 30, so it feels worth enjoying the movement in the city too.
MugiAll right, this is a lock for daytime drinking in Fukuoka! I want to line up the two NEKOBEER beers and get a great start to the holiday!
From BEERKICHI Beer Kichi, a craft beer spot in Watanabe-dori, Chuo Ward, Fukuoka City, information has been shared about its March 20 (Fri., national holiday) business hours and new tap additions. The post clearly states the hours for the day as 1:00 PM opening / midnight closing. Taking advantage of the long holiday hours, it is a day you can leisurely drink from afternoon into the night.
The highlight this time is that two beers from Fukuoka's NEKOBEER have appeared as "New on Tap".
New on Tap
- Motto Nerutora-san (NEKOBEER)
TDH Hazy IPA / ABV 6.5% / Fukuoka
- Ganso Nekoshogott! (NEKOBEER)
Session IPA / ABV 4.5% / Fukuoka
A lineup that lets you choose both a full-bodied TDH Hazy IPA and a lighter Session IPA side by side is a good fit for people who want to compare different expressions from the same brewery. Being able to taste local Fukuoka brewery beer in real time at a Fukuoka beer pub also adds to the appeal as a locally rooted craft beer experience.
BEERKICHI is in an easy-to-stop-by location in the Watanabe-dori area, and its strength is that you can follow tap updates while building your drinking plan from the first glass to the last. It seems like a place that's easy to use both as your first stop during the holiday and as a detour after an event.
The post also mentions the event information for March 27 to 30 (Yuri Fest 2026: Shut Down Watanabe-dori), making this something you'll want to check along with the town's activity toward the end of the month.
