Beer O’clock Taps CRAFTBANK’s F.B.I 2026 and Shirosuzume’s Toride
Beer O’clock, a craft beer pub in Chiba, has announced two new taps: CRAFTBANK’s F.B.I 2026 and Shirosuzume’s Toride. The lineup pairs a fresh-hop beer brewed with 2026 Yosano Chinook hops with a balanced 5.5% Amber Ale.
Hop BroBeer O'clock in Chiba’s Fujimi area has two distinctive new taps. One is hop-forward and refreshing; the other is malty and toasty—perfect for a tasting flight.
MugiWhoa, two beers with totally different vibes? What are they like? Tell me everything!
Hop BroFirst is CRAFTBANK’s “F.B.I 2026.” Its main hop is 2026-harvest Chinook grown in Yosano, Kyoto.
MugiFresh hops means the hops are extra energetic? And what is Chinook anyway?!
Hop BroIt means hops are brewed while very fresh, close to their just-picked state. Chinook is a hop variety known for citrus and pine aromas, plus that vivid green freshness.
MugiOoh, green fields, citrus, and pine—my brain is hiking already! If it’s bright and easy-drinking, I could gulp that down.
Hop BroThen there’s Shirosuzume’s “Tottei,” an Amber Ale. It has a copper color and a malt-led profile with caramel and toast-like notes.
MugiSo “Tottei” doesn’t taste like the sea? And does Amber Ale mean it’s a bitter beer?
Hop BroThe name does make you imagine salty sea air! But amber ale highlights malt richness. “Tottei” is 5.5% ABV, with berry and citrus nuances, so it stays nicely balanced.
MugiFresh-green “F.B.I 2026,” then the toasty “Tottei”… that’s a changing flavor landscape in two glasses!
Hop BroExactly. There’s also the “Wa to, Futo Beer” meat-festival edition on September 22, followed by BeerO'ctoberfest from October 2 through 18—great timing for beer and food.
MugiI’m in! A crisp hop beer first, then deep malty flavor at Beer O'clock. I want to cheers now!
Beer O’clock, located in Chiba’s Fujimi district, has introduced two new beers on tap: CRAFTBANK’s “F.B.I 2026” and Shirosuzume’s “Toride.”
CRAFTBANK “F.B.I 2026”
The beer uses Chinook hops grown in Yosano, Kyoto, harvested in 2026. Brewed with freshly picked Yosano hops, it brings together green, vibrant hop character with citrus and pine-like aromas. Its crisp, refreshing profile makes it an appealing choice for drinkers who want to experience the freshness of a harvest-style hop beer.
Shirosuzume “Toride”
“Toride” is an Amber Ale at 5.5% ABV. Its copper-colored appearance leads into caramel and toast-like aromas and flavors, with additional berry and citrus nuances. Although the malt character remains rich through the finish, the beer is not overly heavy, making it an approachable amber ale for a leisurely pint.
