Yokkaichi craft beer HOP CROWD introduces Trillium cans and Onidensetsu for Golden Week
On May 2, the beer pub craft beer HOP CROWD in Yokkaichi, Mie Prefecture, announced its Golden Week lineup. The selection includes four canned beers from Trillium, as well as offerings from Ise Kadoya Beer, Onidensetsu, NAMACHA Brewing, and CRAFTROCK Brewing, creating a lineup that lets you enjoy everything from IPAs to stouts.
Hop BroYokkaichi's craft beer HOP CROWD has lined up four Trillium cans for Golden Week. It's great that there's a golden ale in there too, not just for IPA fans.
MugiWhoa! Four canned beers means you could do a mini tasting at home! Is Trillium really that hop-forward?
Hop BroExactly. There's Fort Point IPA, Galaxy Cutting Tiles, Party Pump Golden Ale, and Roman Empire IPA, so you can enjoy the differences in hop aroma and drinking profile.
MugiWhat is that! And they even have DDH Citra Hazy IPA and such? DDH sounds like a spell...
Hop BroDDH is a method where you dry-hop twice, bringing the aroma forward. This time the lineup is rich all the way to hazy IPA, and it also spans lagers, whites, and ales, so the strength is that you can pick based on your mood.
MugiHmm, I'm curious about the stout! Isn't Nama Kaku Smoked Oyster Stout way too rich just from the name?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. It uses smoked malt and oysters, and the post described it as a beer inspired by Islay whisky. It's a pretty distinctive one, with smoky character and marine nuances overlapping.
MugiWait, it even has oysters! Does marine nuances mean you can travel through the aroma of the seashore with beer?
Hop BroExactly. And they even have Oni Densetsu fully lined up, with Helles, hojicha ale, and even a hazy IPA, so the range of flavors is huge in one place. It's also nice that it's easy to stop by in the Kintetsu Yokkaichi area.
MugiI want to compare them all! If there are days when they're open from noon, I want to spend all of Golden Week getting lost at HOP CROWD!
A day with taps and cans lined up for Golden Week
At craft beer HOP CROWD, a beer pub in Suwaeicho, Yokkaichi, Mie Prefecture, a post summarizing the beers available during Golden Week was published. The shop is on the 2nd floor of the Suwahanazono Building, in a convenient location for stopping by in the Kintetsu Yokkaichi area.

On tap, Ise Kadoya Beer × NAMACHA Brewing Nama Kaku Smoked Oyster Stout made an appearance. Brewed with smoked malt and oysters from Ise-Shima, the post described it as inspired by Islay whisky. It is a beer suited to those who want to experience smoky notes and marine nuances.

The service notice said that in addition to normal hours, it would also open from noon on May 5 and 6, and that it would remain open throughout Golden Week except on Mondays.
