The beer pub craft beer “Extra Hop” in Chuo-machi, Oita City announced in a May 2 post that it had tapped karuizawa Q’s kölsch-style beer “Tomarigi.” Bighand Bros.’ bitter and Brasserie Knot’s pale ale are also in their final stretch, and a collaboration event with Le TAMAÏ is scheduled for mid-May.
Hop BroAt craft beer “Extra Hop” in Chuo-machi, Oita City, karuizawa Q’s kölsch-style beer “Tomarigi” has been tapped. The seasonal feel of something easy to drink is a really nice direction.
MugiHuh! Even the name Tomarigi sounds gentle! But “kölsch-style” suddenly sounds like the kind of beer only insiders talk about?
Hop BroThat’s what makes it interesting. Kölsch is a German style, and its hallmark is a clean balance of hops and malt. It’s not too bitter, but it’s not thin either. It’s the kind you can drink smoothly.
MugiOhhh! So when you say it’s easy to drink smoothly, you mean it’s dangerously gulpable? My rational side feels like it’s already gone somewhere!
Hop BroExactly, that’s the dangerous kind of gentle. And right now at Extra Hop, what’s hot is that the final-round draft beers are on tap. Bighand Bros.’ bitter and Brasserie Knot’s pale ale are both nearing replacement.
MugiWhoa, so there might be something different every time you go? Tap rotations are like a gacha game, and that’s exciting!
Hop BroThat feeling is pretty much spot-on. And the article says they’ve got plenty of backup kegs too, so the fun of wondering what comes next keeps going. When turnover is this fast, beer-bar fans can’t resist it.
MugiWhat is that! I could spend a whole night just guessing the next pour. Beer has playfulness too, which is unfair!
Hop BroThe hours are easy to keep track of too: from May 2 to May 5, it’s open straight from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. It’s closed on May 6 and May 10, so if you’re aiming for a visit, those are the dates to remember.
MugiSo helpful with the schedule! And from May 15 to May 17 there’s the Le TAMAÏ collaboration event, right? I’ve already put a red circle on my calendar!
Hop BroRight, and with the Le TAMAÏ collab coming up too, Extra Hop is definitely one to watch right now. Drink the light, refreshing “Tomarigi,” and you’ll want to keep following the next developments.
MugiYeah, this makes me want to go as soon as possible! I want to start with Tomarigi for the first glass, then move on to the next keg for the second, and finish with a toast at the collaboration event!
