Yokkaichi's craft beer HOP CROWD highlights four Trillium cans and Oni Densetsu for Golden Week
The beer pub craft beer HOP CROWD in Yokkaichi, Mie Prefecture, has updated its tap list for Golden Week. Centered on four canned beers from Trillium, the lineup also includes Ise Kadoya Beer, Oni Densetsu, and Himitsu Beer, offering a wide range from IPA to stout and white beer.
Hop BroYokkaichi's craft beer HOP CROWD updated its taps for Golden Week. It's built around four Trillium cans, so the lineup is pretty fun.
MugiWait, the four cans are the stars? That's way too strong! And for Golden Week too? It feels like the vacation starts before you even drink.
Hop BroTrillium is a four-beer lineup centered on IPA: Fort Point IPA, Galaxy Cutting Tiles, Party Pump Golden Ale, and Roman Empire IPA. It's perfect for comparing the differences in aroma.
MugiHold on, if it's all IPA, won't they all feel the same? How do the tasting differences really show up?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. Depending on the hop variety and when it's added, the way the aroma comes through, the bitterness, and the sense of sweetness all change, so even two IPAs can feel like completely different beers.
MugiOhh, then I'm really curious about Ise Kadoya Beer × NAMACHA"n Brewing's Namakado Smoke Oyster Stout! Oysters in beer are actually okay?
Hop BroAbsolutely. In fact, the aim is very clear. The toasted aroma of smoked malt and the oyster-derived marine finish come together to make a heavy, grounded beer.
MugiWhoa, that suddenly got a very mature depth to it! But if Oni Densetsu's Kinoni Pale Ale is there too, I want something lively as well!
Hop BroOf course. And with Himitsu Beer's Mangorilla White, NAMACHA"n Brewing's Namachan's Hojicha Ale, and Ise Kadoya Beer's DDH Citra Hazy IPA all lined up too, it's easy to switch styles depending on your mood.
MugiWhat is that, a style amusement park? It's unfair how this place can cover both lager mood days and white beer mood days!
Hop BroExactly. It's a beer pub in Suwasakae-cho that's easy to reach from the Kintetsu Yokkaichi area, and the fact that you can choose from both cans and draft is a big plus. During Golden Week, you'll want to settle in for one beer here, maybe two.
MugiIt's decided! I'm making this my first stop of Golden Week! Hop bro, today you're not just explaining things, you're drinking with me too!

On draft, the Ise Kadoya Beer × NAMACHA"n Brewing `Namakado Smoke Oyster Stout` stands out with a distinctive character.
