BEERKICHI Opens at 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 14: Tap Lineup Centered on NEKOBEER
The beer pub BEERKICHI in Watanabe-dori, Fukuoka, will be open from 3:00 p.m. to midnight on Tuesday, April 14. According to public information, it is known as a spot where notable labels such as Uchu Brewing and Inkhorn Brewing flow through, with its own NEKOBEER at the core, making it an easy place to keep up with the latest craft beer while standing.
Hop BroToday I'm introducing BEERKICHI in Watanabe-dori, Fukuoka. It's opening at 3:00 p.m. on April 14, and the fact that you can keep up with it at a standing bar until late night is already exciting.
MugiWait, from 3:00 p.m. to midnight!? You can drop in before work is even over, and it's way too friendly to the early-drinking crowd!
Hop BroAnd the star is the in-house NEKOBEER, so the presence of Neko Beer is really strong. Because it's a small shop, it's also fun that you can see the taps changing so clearly.
MugiHey, is tap lineup really that important? That sounds like something an advanced drinker would say, and now I'm nervous!
Hop BroIt is important. Today there's a wide range, from NEKOBEER's Fantasista ~Grapes Are Friends~ with its fruitier lean, to a pour like Teenage Power that brings out a stronger bitterness.
MugiWhat are those names? So fun! The moment I heard Grapes Are Friends, I couldn't even keep up with the flavor image!
Hop BroOn top of that, public check-ins have shown UCHU BREWING's INFINITY and SPACE POP MOSAIC, plus Inkhorn Brewing's Strange the Wise (2025). That's what makes BEERKICHI feel like a place where popular breweries connect.
MugiWhat, even Uchu and Inkhorn show up!? It's so unfair that one place can feel like a world trip like that!
Hop BroAnd the standing-bar distance feels great. There's also Beerkichi Pizza, so instead of ending with just beer, you can snack and think about your next pour, which is the best part.
MugiThat's definitely the kind of place you'd want to keep going back to...! It feels like a shop for chasing the latest craft beer, and if I go to Fukuoka, I'd want to stop there first!
Hop BroExactly, BEERKICHI on April 14 is a very good target. The first pour is the key, so I'd want to get there early and enjoy every change in the taps.
MugiYeah, my head is already full of beer! I'm in the mood to toast right now, so I want to go out for a drink while imagining a pint at BEERKICHI!
Tuesday, April 14: Open from 3:00 p.m. until midnight
BEERKICHI in Watanabe-dori, Fukuoka, will be open on Tuesday, April 14 from 3:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. This compact beer pub, about 6 tsubo in size, located in the Tenjin-minami area, is appealing for the close-up feel that comes with standing service and its fast-changing tap lineup.
A place where distinctive brews connect around the in-house NEKOBEER
In BEERKICHI's lineup, as confirmed through public information, the presence of its in-house brewery NEKOBEER (Neko Beer) stands out. For example,
- Fantasista ~Grapes Are Friends~ / NEKOBEER
- Nerutora-san / NEKOBEER
- Motto Nerutora-san / NEKOBEER
- Teenage Power / NEKOBEER
are among the labels confirmed, and the shop offers a wide range of drinking styles, from pours that let you enjoy fruitiness and hop character to ones with a firm bitterness.
In addition, public check-ins have shown UCHU BREWING's INFINITY and SPACE POP MOSAIC, Inkhorn Brewing's Strange the Wise (2025), and Totopia Brewery's Tonephilia, indicating that this is a place where, beyond NEKOBEER, popular brewery labels may also line the taps.
Why beer lovers keep coming back
BEERKICHI's strength is not only the beer itself. The storefront with its memorable cat character, the close distance to the staff, and the Beerkichi Pizza baked to order each time all combine to support the pleasant energy of standing service. Rather than just having a few beers and leaving, pairing drinks with food makes the shop's personality even clearer.
The lineup changes quickly, and BEERKICHI's charm is that its character can shift depending on the time of day, even on the same day. The April 14 opening at 3:00 p.m. is a perfect start time for anyone who wants to stop by a little earlier than after work and follow the lineup from the first pour. If you want to drink the current state of craft beer in Fukuoka, this is one place to remember.
