Beer O'clock in Chiba opens three new guest taps for Marine Day
Beer O'clock, a beer pub in Chiba, announced a July 20 all-day service and three new guest taps: one each from Oni Densetsu, Iwate Kura Beer, and IWAI BREWERY. The post also previews an August 2 event.
Hop BroBeer O'clock in Chiba is doing a Marine Day pour-a-thon on July 20, open straight from 12:00 to 22:00 with three new taps.
MugiWhat, all day? Open straight through sounds like the winning holiday plan!
Hop BroAnd the first one is Oni Densetsu’s Kinki Pale Ale, the Strata Single Ver. American Pale Ale at 5.5% with passion fruit, mango, citrus, and a proper bitter finish.
MugiHold on, Strata Single Ver. sounds like a spell. What exactly is single here?
Hop BroIt means one hop only is doing the aroma work. You get Strata front and center, tropical but still nicely balanced.
MugiWhoa! Then what about Iwate Kura Beer’s Sansho ale? Does beer plus sansho turn your mouth into a Japanese restaurant?
Hop BroThis is a Japanese Herb Ale at 5.0%. It uses sansho berries from Ichinoseki, so you get spice plus a bright citrusy lift, and it drinks easier than you'd expect.
MugiNo way! Then what is IWAI BREWERY’s IWAI LAGER doing with a title like International Session Pilsner?
Hop BroBasically it’s a super-drinkable lager. It’s 4.5%, brewed with soft water, with a hint of hinoki and flowers, then it finishes crisp. Start aromatic, switch gears with sansho, land on lager; that flow makes sense.
MugiAnd on top of that, Crisp! returns on August 2 at 15:00, right? I can already see the fried food pairing and my stomach is fully invested.
Hop BroThen we should go for the 12 p.m. start. Those three taps are classic Beer O'clock, broad and easy to enjoy, and now I want the pasta and the beer lineup together.
Beer O'clock, a beer pub in Chuo Ward, Chiba, shared its Marine Day update with three guest beers on tap. The pub ran continuous service from noon to 10 p.m. on July 20, while also updating its rotating lunch pasta, keeping the focus on a relaxed, beer-and-food friendly setup.
New taps
- Oni Densetsu "Kinoni Pale Ale Strata Single Ver.": American Pale Ale, 5.5%. A hop-forward pale ale with tropical notes, plus passion fruit, mango, and citrus. The bitterness is firm, but the overall balance stays smooth.
- Iwate Kura Beer "Japanese Herb Ale Sansho": Herbed Ale, 5.0%. Brewed with sansho berries from Iwate's Ichinoseki area, this beer leans spicy and citrusy, with a distinctive herbal edge.
- IWAI BREWERY "IWAI LAGER": International Session Pilsner, 4.5%. A golden lager brewed with soft water, offering a clean, crisp finish and subtle hints of hinoki and flowers.
The lineup reflects Beer O'clock's practical pub style: a hop-driven pale ale, a herb-accented specialty beer, and a clean lager to round things out. The post also notes that Crisp! will return on August 2 at 3:00 p.m., adding another food-friendly reason to keep the date in mind.
