Seven beers tapped at craft beer HOP CROWD in Yokkaichi, including RazCherry Sour
The beer pub craft beer HOP CROWD in Yokkaichi, Mie, updated its tap list on Instagram. The lineup features Sakamichi Brewing's new RazCherry Sour alongside seven beers from Himitsu Beer, Onidensetsu, NEKO BEER, Nomcraft, Ise Kadoya Brewery, and Repubrew.
Hop BroToday’s story is about seven fresh taps at craft beer HOP CROWD in Yokkaichi. The whole list leans refreshing, which makes sense for these still-hot days.
MugiWhat! A station-area beer pub has that much pouring right now? Choosing the first glass already sounds stressful in the best way.
Hop BroThe headline pour is Sakamichi Brewing’s new RazCherry Sour. It’s a Fruited Sour Ale with bright raspberry, round cherry, and Mosaic hop aroma layered together.
MugiWait, a Fruited Sour Ale sounds intense. Is this the kind of sour that makes your whole face fold up?
Hop BroThat’s the clever part. It’s great as a first pint because it doesn’t just hit you with acidity. The tart fruit and hop aroma stay balanced and easygoing.
MugiOhhh, so Mosaic hop aroma is the fancy way to say 'berry breeze that tastes expensive.' I can absolutely remember it like that.
Hop BroThat works just fine. The rest of the lineup has real personality too: Himitsu Beer x HOP CROWD’s Yasumitai-nu, Oni Densetsu’s Kin Oni Pale Ale JRA SP ver., NEKO BEER’s hazy cat chaos, Nomcraft’s Octopus King, and Isekadoya’s Dank Dank Dank!!.
MugiThese names are coming in hot. But the one haunting me is Repubrew’s curveball. Barrel-Fermented Nitro Oat Milk Latte with Nutella sounds like a dessert spell.
Hop BroHere’s the key part: nitro texture means tiny creamy bubbles instead of sharp fizz. Add barrel-derived complexity and it starts sounding like a beer you could almost eat with a spoon.
MugiFrom breezy RazCherry to that full-on treat, I want a tasting flight right now. Okay, I totally get why people keep checking HOP CROWD’s tap updates.
Hop BroThey’re open Tuesday to Saturday from 4:00 p.m. to midnight, and Sunday from 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., closed Monday. I already want the first stop tonight to be HOP CROWD.
