At Yokkaichi's craft beer HOP CROWD, Oni Densetsu "Kinki Pale Ale Comet ver." and two other new kegs tapped
Craft beer HOP CROWD, a beer pub in Yokkaichi City, Mie Prefecture, has refreshed its taps. The lineup now includes Oni Densetsu's "Kinki Pale Ale Comet ver." and NEKO BEER's "Nerutora-san," creating a broad selection ranging from pilsners and IPAs to cider and dessert stouts.
Hop BroThe Yokkaichi beer pub craft beer HOP CROWD updated its taps, and the story is that two new kegs have been tapped. Oni Densetsu's "Kinki Pale Ale Comet ver." and NEKO BEER's "Nerutora-san" have joined the lineup, and today's selection is pretty interesting.
MugiWhoa! Just the name Oni Densetsu sounds tough! And it's a place on the second floor in Yokkaichi too, so it sounds easy to drop by.
Hop BroExactly, it's nice that it's easy to stop by in the Kintetsu Yokkaichi area. The featured beer this time is Kinki Pale Ale Comet ver., a pale ale with citrus and tropical notes, but with a well-rounded finish that doesn't go over the top.
MugiHuh! So does Comet ver. taste like a comet? Or does it feel like you're flying into space?
Hop BroThat's more of a hop name than a romance. It's brewed with Comet hops, which tend to bring out citrus and herbal notes. So it adds a little sparkle of aroma to the drinkability of Kinki Pale Ale.
MugiI see! Then what about NEKO BEER's Nerutora-san? Just from the name, I can't tell whether it's a cat or a tiger, but I'm already curious!
Hop BroThat's a DDH West Coast IPA, with a clear drinking profile, citrus aroma, and a pleasant bitterness layered in. DDH means the dry hopping is stacked on heavily, which is a way to push the aroma forward.
MugiWhoa, heavy dry hopping really makes it that aromatic!? It sounds complicated, but it seems like it'd wake up your nose the moment you drink it!
Hop BroExactly. And on top of that, this lineup also includes CRAK's "Pizzapils," Isekado Beer's "Brain-Melting Ultra Heaven," and Faction's "Commando 450 IPA," so the wide range is amazing.
MugiWow, there are pilsners and IPAs, but also cider and dessert stouts!? It's such a tasting-flight paradise that even just thinking about the order is fun!
Hop BroReset your palate with FABBRICA BIRRA PERUGIA's "Sidro di Mele," move on lightly with Isekado West Coast Pilsner, and finish with NEKO BEER's strawberry ganache cake stout. The fun of building a lineup in one place is HOP CROWD's strength.
MugiIf you can have that much fun in Yokkaichi, that's amazing...! I'm curious about the spring beer garden and hanami event talk too, and it feels like the next drink is decided right here!
Hop BroThen let's go chase down the Oni Densetsu and Neko taps today. This lineup is more than enough to put you in the mood to say, I want a drink right now.
