The beer pub “Want a Beer” in Utsunomiya, Tochigi Prefecture, will be open on March 23 from 15:00 to 22:00 (L.O. 21:30). In an Instagram post, the shop revealed the day’s six-tap lineup, featuring a yuzu saison and a collaborative West Coast Pilsner, among other beers with distinct personalities.
Hop BroWant a Beer in Utsunomiya has put out its 3/23 tap update. They’ll be open from 15:00 to 22:00, with L.O. at 21:30, so it’s a lineup that fits perfectly for starting the weekday with a drink.
MugiWait, you can drink that early? A 15:00 opening is the kind of thing that nudges a napper out the door!
Hop BroAnd there are six beers on tap: Fiction, Hidden Tresure XPA, Fruit Basket IPA, Charcoal-roasted Coffee Mild Ale, Meguri, and Getsuho ~Moonwalk~. That’s six taps in total.
MugiWhat! XPA sounds strong just from the name, but what exactly is XPA?
Hop BroXPA stands for Extra Pale Ale, and it often lets you enjoy hops a little more lightly than an IPA. Here, it feels like the entry point for clean bitterness and flavor.
MugiOhhh! Then I’m curious about the yuzu one too! Meguri’s Yuzu Saison sounds citrusy and refreshing, right?
Hop BroExactly. Karuizawa Q’s “Meguri” is a saison made with yuzu, and in a separate slot there’s also a collaborative West Coast Pilsner. THE KICHI’s “Getsuho ~Moonwalk~” is an original beer made in collaboration with Want a Beer.
MugiWait, there’s even a collab? And West Coast-style beers sound like they’d change the way hops walk just from the name!
Hop BroThat’s right. You’ve got beers with citrus and tropical aromas, plus the coffee-scented Charcoal-roasted Coffee Mild Ale, so the range for comparison tasting is really wide. The seafood food options also pair nicely, which is another plus.
MugiNow I want all of them! If they’ve got everything from hops to coffee, I’d definitely want to compare them all tonight in Utsunomiya!
Hop BroExactly. Even if the terrace is booked for a private group on 3/27, the indoor area is still available, so checking the latest taps before going means you won’t miss.
MugiAll right, today it’s Want a Beer! Choosing the first pint sounds fun in itself, so let’s go drink!
