Extra Hop in Oita taps DevilCraft Brewery's afterglow, plus Faló's cold pale ale
Oita's craft beer pub Extra Hop shared a tap update on Instagram on August 26. The bar is pouring DevilCraft Brewery's limited IPA afterglow, alongside a cold pale ale from Faló.
Hop BroExtra Hop in Oita has a hot guest lineup right now. In its August 26 update, it announced DevilCraft Brewery's limited IPA 'afterglow' plus a Falò cold pale ale.
MugiWhat, what's afterglow supposed to be? The name sounds like an artsy sunset movie, but what kind of beer is it?
Hop BroDevilCraft Brewery's afterglow is a Krush-hop showcase West Coast IPA. Big fruity aroma, a pleasing bitter snap, and the kind of limited release you want when the weather is still hot.
MugiWhoa, but West Coast IPA makes me picture surfboards and ocean breeze, not an actual drink!
Hop BroThat's the vibe, but the real point is the clean-drinking finish. It smells bold without turning heavy or sugary, and the bitterness cuts through neatly.
MugiOkay! Then what about the cold pale ale from Falò? The name alone sounds like a chilled honor student!
Hop BroHonestly, that's close. Its easygoing crispness is the selling point. You still get pale ale hop character, but the mouthfeel stays light and tidy, and it's meant to pair with this week's somen champuru.
MugiNo way, that's a summer champion combo. If that is waiting at 5:30 after work, my feet are walking to Extra Hop by themselves!
Hop BroAnd that day it's basically beer only mode at the pub since the owner is away. There are also about three kegs close to kicking, so even I want to compare afterglow and Falò before the lineup shifts again.
MugiI'm done for, I want a pint now! Start with afterglow for aroma and bitterness, then smooth it out with Falò... my first sip has already begun in my head!
The craft beer pub craft beer Extra Hop, on the first floor of the Okuno Hosomichi Building in central Oita, posted its latest keg update on Instagram on August 26. The bar focuses on carefully selected craft beers from Japan and abroad, and on this day it was serving beer only because the owner was away. Service starts at 5:30 p.m. for an after-work pint.
The featured new keg was DevilCraft Brewery's limited IPA afterglow. The bar described it as a West Coast IPA that brings out the character of Krush hops, with fruity hop aroma and a clean, pleasant bitterness. It sounds like a straightforward late-summer pour with enough aroma to stay interesting.
The post also pointed to the Faló cold pale ale tapped the day before. It was framed as a light first drink for extreme heat, and as a good match with this week's limited food, somen champuru. The bar said about three more kegs are close to being kicked, so the lineup should keep moving. The next lunch service is scheduled for Friday, August 28, with SHIHO working solo, so service may take a little longer.
