Hop BroToday’s story is that Extra Hop, a craft beer spot in Oita’s Chuo-machi, announced it will be closed on the day of Beer&Live for its 4th anniversary!
MugiWait, the shop is closed on the celebration day!? So it’s basically all-in on the event?
Hop BroExactly. The theme is GOOD MUSIC & GOOD BEER, with a setup designed so people can enjoy live music and craft beer together at the venue.
MugiThat’s awesome! And the post said four taps at once - does that mean you can keep drinking four different beers the whole time?
Hop BroNot quite. It’s a kick-and-replace system. As soon as one keg runs out, the next one goes on, so the lineup changes over time.
MugiKick-and-replace sounds like a video game special move...! That means emptying the keg, right?
Hop BroRight, it means finishing the keg through glass service. That’s why earlier and later in the day can mean different beers - that’s the fun of this setup!
MugiWow. And the breweries pouring are impressive too - from BEPPU all the way to Y.MARKET? That’s a huge range.
Hop BroBEPPU BREWERY, BEPPU×Orang, Minoh Beer, Y.MARKET BREWING, Yanegakidou, karuizawa Q, and Craft Beer Base. Even without the beer names, they’re clearly aiming for a broad style range.
MugiAnd that "90 liters kicked" line really shows the energy... This is basically a festival of sound and beer. I want to go toast right now!
In an Instagram post by craft beer "Extra Hop" (original post), the shop announced that its regular storefront would be closed on the day of its 4th anniversary project, "Beer&Live."
The core of the announcement was simple: "GOOD MUSIC & GOOD BEER." On the day, they planned to pour from four taps simultaneously, with a fast-moving style in which kegs were replaced as soon as they were kicked. Since the lineup could change with each glass, the setup was designed so that visitors could expect different encounters earlier and later in the day.
The suppliers named in the post were BEPPU BREWERY, BEPPU×Orang, Minoh Beer, Y.MARKET BREWING, Yanegakidou, karuizawa Q, and Craft Beer Base. Although the specific beer names were not listed, the mix clearly brought together makers with different regional roots and personalities, suggesting a tap lineup aimed at a wide range of hop character, malt presence, and drinking weight.
The mention of "90 liters kicked" also pointed to the kind of energy you would expect from an anniversary celebration. True to Extra Hop, which is based on the first floor of the Okuno Hodo Building in Chuo-machi, the post strongly highlighted a day where beer and music would be enjoyed as one.
