MugiWait, you can drink from the daytime!? And it opens every day at 1 p.m.? That's basically perfect.
Hop BroAnd this time, the lineup has four house-brewed NEKOBEER beers, so it's a pretty strong NEKOBEER-focused setup. It's a real showcase for BEERKICHI's own brewing.
MugiFour beers means a tasting that lets you compare the differences, right? The names are interesting too, but first, what exactly is Cabernet King?
Hop BroIt's a Sour IPA at ABV 6.0%, and the way the tartness and hop character collide is what makes it fun. A tart Sour IPA might sound tricky, but when you drink it, it's crisp and surprisingly easy to keep sipping.
MugiSour IPA means it's sour but still an IPA!? I'm getting confused. Do hops and tartness really coexist in one beer?
Hop BroExactly. It's a style that adds tartness to the hop aroma of an IPA. There's also a single-hop pale ale using Rakau, a New Zealand variety, so you can get a clear sense of the hop's character.
MugiWhat is that, the name is way too long and kind of funny! But Rakau buy buy is such a strong sound that I won't forget it.
Hop BroThere's also the pilsner Pils Nyaa and the lively session IPA Ganso Nekoshogo!, so the range of drinking styles is solid. With crisp and light options lined up together, it's easy to see where NEKOBEER is right now.
MugiAnd they're even giving away die-cut stickers of Nekobear-kun!? That's unfairly cute before I even take a sip.
Hop BroExactly. With the cat motif and house brewing together, it feels very BEERKICHI. At this point, whether you go for a daytime tasting or just one beer first, you're already in the mood to drink.
MugiI've stopped deciding, I just want to go! Let's taste all the cat beers at BEERKICHI's anniversary festival.
BEERKICHI in Watanabedori, Chuo Ward, Fukuoka City, released its guest beer lineup together with its business information for Saturday, May 2. The post announced that it would be open from 1 p.m. to midnight, and also said that "BEERKICHI 7th Anniversary Festival" would continue from April 29 to May 6 with daily openings at 1 p.m. As a beer pub tucked into an alley in the Tenjin-Minami area, it keeps the convenience of being able to drop in from lunchtime, while the anniversary week features a more distinctly original lineup.
The day's "New on Tap" lineup consisted of four beers from the in-house NEKOBEER brewery.
- `Cabernet King` (NEKOBEER / Sour IPA / ABV 6.0%)
- `Single Neko-san's Single-Hop Pale Ale - NZ variety! Rakau "buy buy" hop savings-ver.` (NEKOBEER / pale ale / ABV 5.5%)
- `Pils Nyaa` (NEKOBEER / Pilsner / ABV 5.0%)
- `Ganso Nekoshogo!` (NEKOBEER / session IPA / ABV 4.5%)
Looking at the styles, the lineup ranges from a tangy Sour IPA to a pale ale that brings hop character to the front, a crisp-drinking pilsner, and a lively session IPA, making it easy to appreciate the differences within the same brewery. The anniversary-festival post also mentioned distribution of die-cut stickers featuring Nekobear-kun, leaving a strong impression of BEERKICHI's cat motif paired with its house-brewed beers.
