HOP CROWD in Yokkaichi adds new taps from Oni Densetsu and NEKO BEER
craft beer HOP CROWD, a beer pub in Yokkaichi, Mie, updated its tap list with two new arrivals: Oni Densetsu’s Kinki Pale Ale Comet ver. and NEKO BEER’s Neltra-san. The lineup also spans Italian pilsner, triple IPA, cider, West Coast pilsner, and dessert stout.
Hop BroToday’s topic is HOP CROWD’s new taps. At craft beer HOP CROWD in Yokkaichi, Oni Densetsu’s “Kin-Oni Pale Ale Comet ver.” and NEKO BEER’s “Nerutora-san” just came on together.
MugiWhat! Two fresh kegs at once? That’s chaos in the best way. One sounds like a boss battle, the other sounds like a cat plotting something!
Hop BroFirst up, Kin-Oni Pale Ale is a pale ale with citrus and a light tropical note, but it stays balanced instead of going flashy. The Comet hop character comes through in a really tidy way.
MugiOhhh, citrus and tropical sounds juicy already. I expected it to go full vacation mode, but balanced-and-calm Oni is kind of hilarious.
Hop BroThe other newcomer, Nerutora-san, is a DDH West Coast IPA. It drinks clean, brings bright citrus aroma, and layers in a pleasant bitterness, so it works as a first beer or a hop-forward pick.
MugiHold on, what is DDH!? You said that like a secret finishing move. I need the beginner version before I drink the advanced class.
Hop BroThink of DDH as extra dry-hop power. Brewers add plenty of hops after fermentation to push up the aroma without making the bitterness unnecessarily heavy.
MugiNo way, aroma boost mode! And the whole tap list goes from pilsner to IPA to cider to dessert stout, so choosing just one sounds impossible.
Hop BroThat’s the beauty here: a wide tap lineup. You’ve got CRAK’s “Pizzapils,” Isekado’s triple IPA and West Coast pilsner, FABBRICA BIRRA PERUGIA’s cider, and even NEKO BEER’s strawberry-ganache dessert stout.
MugiThat lineup in Suwa Hanazono Building 2F in Yokkaichi is unfair. Start with Nerutora-san, finish with cake stout, and call it a perfect night. Now I seriously want a glass.

The pub is located on the second floor of Suwa Hanazono Building in Yokkaichi’s Suwae-cho area, making it an easy stop around central Yokkaichi for anyone chasing a varied beer lineup.
