Hop BroAt BEERKICHI in Watanabedori, Fukuoka, two NEKOBEER kegs just went on tap. What's more, on Wednesday, May 13, it's open from 3:00 p.m. to midnight, so it's an easy fit for both early drinkers and late-night drinkers.
MugiWhat! You can drink from 3:00 p.m.? That's so helpful! So you can have another one in the afternoon, even if it's not after work yet?
Hop BroExactly. And the first one is Otsumiru ~2026 ver. It's a DDH OatCreamHazy IPA, a solid 7.0% ABV beer with that rich oat thickness and juicy haze.
MugiDDH, what is that! You're adding more spell-like words! Hop brother, you're sprinkling in the jargon again, aren't you!
Hop BroIt stands for Double Dry Hopped. It means they add plenty of hops late in the process, so the aroma jumps forward and the hazy fruitiness spreads softly.
MugiI see! So the second beer, the single-hop pale, has a completely different personality, right? Fighting with just one hop sounds so clean and cool!
Hop BroThat's right. And because it uses the NZ variety Rakau hops as the core, the tropical character, resin-like notes, and even a slightly woody nuance come through more clearly. That's what makes the differences in brewing so interesting.
MugiWait, so even though it's the same NEKOBEER, one is a rich hazy beer and the other is a pale ale where the hop character really shines! If I compare them side by side, I might be able to do a personality test in my mouth!
Hop BroBEERKICHI also has that close, intimate atmosphere thanks to its compact interior. Since they have grilled heart and grilled tongue too, it's even more enjoyable if you lightly connect the beer aromas with the savory meat flavors.
MugiWow, if you tell me it's a perfect match with grilled heart, I'm done for! Drink Otsumiru first, then move on to the Rakau pale ale. That flow feels completely right!
Hop BroThen today, it's a NEKOBEER tasting in Fukuoka's Tenjinminami area. When you see a lineup like this, you just want to sit at the beer bar and check each one one by one.
MugiDeal! Let's start with the first drink at 3:00 p.m. and finish with grilled tongue! Hop brother, after work today we're meeting at BEERKICHI!
