At Susukino Ale STAND, the beer pub on the basement floor of COCONO SUSUKINO in Sapporo, NORTH ISLAND BEER's West Coast IPA "Bokura to, Neko" has been restocked. You can enjoy this pint, whose backstory supports cat rescue activities, both in the pub and as takeout.
Hop BroWhat's hot in Susukino, Sapporo right now is the Bokura to, Neko restock! NORTH ISLAND BEER's guest beer is back at Susukino Ale STAND.
MugiWhoa, that name is adorable and now I'm curious! What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt's a West Coast IPA, with ABV 6.0% and IBU 57, so it's a solidly built beer. It's a classic style that lets you enjoy hop aroma and bitterness.
MugiWhat is that even! What's IBU 57? Just seeing the number feels like a test score!
Hop BroIBU is a measure of bitterness, and 57 means it's firmly on the bitter side. But this one has a crisp, clean finish, so it doesn't feel heavy and goes down smoothly.
MugiOh wow! And when I read the article, it said that drinking it helps support cats, which honestly got me a little emotional...!
Hop BroExactly. Part of the sales goes to a donation to Mobile VET Office, which operates in Ebetsu. It's great that the money is used for cat medical support and surgery costs.
MugiAnd I'm curious about the taste too! Citrus and piney aroma means it's refreshing but also has a forest-like vibe, right?
Hop BroYou've got it exactly right! It has a clear gold-to-amber appearance, sharp bitterness, and a clean aftertaste, so it's the kind of beer that keeps you reaching for another glass.
MugiAnd it's open from 10 a.m. with takeout available? That's amazing! Perfect for a pre-drink stop too, like grabbing one before meeting up!
Hop BroThen it's settled, let's go have a toast to the cats at Susukino Ale STAND today. I'm already completely in the mood to drink it!
Susukino Ale STAND, which curates a lineup centered on craft beer from Hokkaido, has announced the return of NORTH ISLAND BEER's "Bokura to, Neko" as a guest beer. Its style is West Coast IPA, with specs of ABV 6.0% / IBU 57.
In the post, the brewery explains that this beer was born from the phrase "Let's make stray cats zero." and that part of the sales goes to a donation to Mobile VET Office, which operates in Ebetsu. It is a label with a social context, with the funds used for cat medical support in areas with few animal hospitals and for surgery costs in hoarding-collapse cases involving many animals.
As for the flavor profile, it offers a clear gold-to-amber appearance, citrus notes from American hops, and piney nuances layered underneath. After the hop aroma comes a firm bitterness, while the sip remains clean and crisp, making it an easy beer to keep drinking without getting tired of it. The distinctive outline of a West Coast IPA comes through in an easy-to-appreciate finish.
The shop opens at 10:00 a.m., and supports both dine-in and takeout. With a location and business style that make it convenient for a first stop before an outing or a drink before meeting up, it is a place in Susukino, Sapporo where you can casually try craft beer from across Hokkaido. This restock is worth noting not only for its flavor, but also because drinking it supports a cause.
