craft beer HOP CROWD in Yokkaichi taps new beers from Oni Densetsu and NEKO BEER
The Yokkaichi beer pub craft beer HOP CROWD updated its tap list with two new arrivals: Oni Densetsu’s Kinkoi Pale Ale Comet ver. and NEKO BEER’s Neltora-san. The lineup centered on a citrusy pale ale and a DDH West Coast IPA, alongside a broad mix of guest beers.
Hop BroToday's topic is HOP CROWD in Yokkaichi. The beer pub refreshed its taps and opened two new kegs at once, one from Oni Densetsu and one from NEKO BEER.
MugiWhat! Two fresh kegs at the same time? I'm already hyped. What kind of beers are we talking about?
Hop BroFirst up is Kin-Oni Pale Ale Comet ver. from Noboribetsu Jibeer Oni Densetsu, a pale ale with citrus and a soft tropical note that lands really cleanly.
MugiOooh! But when you say Comet-driven aroma, it sounds like it might streak past and vanish like a shooting star.
Hop BroNo vanishing here. Comet is a hop variety, and it throws off bright grapefruit-like aromas with a lively punch.
MugiGot it! Then what about NEKO BEER's Nerutora-san? That name sounds like it could bench-press the whole tap list.
Hop BroThat one is a DDH West Coast IPA with a clear, crisp body, citrus on the nose, and a firm bitterness that snaps into place.
MugiHold on, what is DDH? You just launched a secret beer code at me.
Hop BroThink of DDH as layering hop aroma. Brewers add extra hops during or after fermentation to push aroma forward without just turning everything into raw bitterness.
MugiWow, this sounds like a tasting-flight paradise! Pizzapils, Isekado West Coast Pilsner, cider, even that strawberry ganache cake stout? That's absurdly broad.
Hop BroAnd this lineup is waiting on the second floor in Suwa Hanazono Building near Kintetsu Yokkaichi. It makes me want to start with a pilsner and then march straight into the IPAs.
MugiNow I seriously want to go decide what to drink today. Walking in casually and finishing with Nerutora-san sounds like a perfect night.

The update featured two new beers and leaned into hop-forward styles, making it a strong stop for drinkers who like comparing different expressions of aroma and bitterness.
The first new tap was Noboribetsu Jibeer Oni Densetsu’s "Kinkoi Pale Ale Comet ver."

The second newcomer was NEKO BEER’s "Neltora-san", a DDH West Coast IPA with a clear finish, citrus aroma, and a firm but pleasant bitterness.
The same tap list also included CRAK’s "Pizzapils", Isekado Beer’s "Brain-Melting Ultra Heaven", Faction’s "Commando 450 IPA", FABBRICA BIRRA PERUGIA’s "Sidro di Mele", Isekado Beer’s "Isekado West Coast Pilsner", and NEKO BEER’s "Patisserie Nyankoro ~Strawberry Ganache Cake Stout~".
