Yamorido in Kyoto’s Fushimi opens new West Coast Pilsner SKIP
Yamorido, a brewpub in Kyoto’s Fushimi district, has released its new beer SKIP. Brewed as a West Coast Pilsner, it combines a clean pilsner base with hop-driven notes of berry, grapefruit, and mango.
Hop BroSomething good just landed in Kyoto's Fushimi area: SKIP from 家守堂, and it's a West Coast Pilsner.
MugiWait, a pilsner from the West Coast? West Coast Pilsner sounds like it was brewed with sea breeze!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. It keeps that lager snap, but layers in hop aroma like an IPA.
MugiWhoa, okay, but the article mentioned Strata aroma and that sounds like a final boss name.
Hop BroStrata is a hop variety. It can throw off berry, grapefruit, and mango notes, so you get bright fruity aromas right up front.
MugiOhh, so it's aromatic without being heavy? That's basically perfect first-drink energy!
Hop BroExactly. It's also ABV 5.0% / IBU 29, so the bitterness stays smooth, and Citra plus Simcoe keep it lively without weighing it down.
MugiHold on, what even is IBU again? This turned into a science class real fast!
Hop BroIt's basically a bitterness guide. At 29, it's more gentle than aggressive, and the finish stays clean like a lager.
MugiSo IPA fans and pilsner fans can both get hooked? That's a best-of-both-worlds beer!
Hop BroAnd since 家守堂 is a brewpub in Fushimi, a brewery-connected pub, it really makes me want to drink this on site.
MugiYep, that's it, I'm sold. If I spot it in Fushimi, I want to toast with SKIP first!
At Yamorido, the Kyoto Fushimi brewpub, a new beer called SKIP has been released. It is a West Coast Pilsner with 5.0% ABV and 29 IBU, built to keep the crisp drinkability of a pilsner while bringing forward a more expressive hop profile.
The beer’s aroma is led by Strata, which adds notes of berry, grapefruit, and mango. Citra and Simcoe round out the hop bill, giving SKIP a bright but balanced character. The bitterness stays smooth and moderate, so the beer comes across as lively without feeling heavy. For drinkers who enjoy hop-forward beers but still want a clean lager finish, this is an approachable style.
Yamorido is located in Kyoto’s Fushimi ward, on Nakamizugake-cho, and operates as a brewpub. That setting makes SKIP especially appealing as a fresh, on-site house beer served close to the source. In a neighborhood known for easygoing stops and local drinking culture, a West Coast Pilsner like SKIP fits neatly as a first pour or a session-friendly option for hop fans.
