craft beer HOP CROWD posts a seven-beer tap list led by Faction's Terpsman IPA
On June 26, craft beer HOP CROWD in Yokkaichi published a seven-beer tap lineup led by Faction's Terpsman IPA. The list also includes beers from Onidensetsu, NAMACHAんBrewing, West Coast Brewing, and Miyazaki Hideji Beer.
Hop BroThe 7-beer tap list from craft beer HOP CROWD in Yokkaichi is a strong one. The centerpiece is Faction's 'Terpsman IPA,' and it is already pulling hop fans right in.
MugiWhoa! Terpsman IPA already sounds powerful! Is it just a super-bitter IPA, or the kind that punches you with aroma?
Hop BroFaction's pour is a West Coast IPA with sharp bitterness, and the trick is how it uses terpenes to make the hop profile really stand out.
MugiHold on, what is a terpene? When you say that so casually, my brain starts foaming!
Hop BroIn simple terms, it's an aroma compound. It gives you those citrusy or pine-like impressions, and this Terpsman IPA basically points at the glass and says, 'Yep, that's the hop aroma right there.'
MugiOhhh! So it's the aroma boss! And I heard the other six beers on the list are pretty wild too?
Hop BroThe lineup is excellent. You've got Oni Densetsu's 'Kin-Oni Pale Ale Mosaic ver.,' Isekadoya x Oni Densetsu's 'Oni Shibori Lager,' and NAMACHAんBrewing's 'Asakusa Line Mikan Ale,' so it covers bitterness to citrus really cleanly.
MugiWhat is this lineup! Then you throw in Neko Beer 'Giri Moza' and West Coast Brewing's 'Starwatcher Tsuyu,' and the tap list chaos is just delightful. I can't even pick a first pour from the names alone!
Hop BroAnd then Miyazaki Hideji Beer 'Kurikuro' is waiting at the end, so you also get dark beer richness in the mix. With crisp lager in there too, the range at one pub is seriously wide.
MugiThat is such a gift for Yokkaichi...! If it's a second-floor spot near Kintetsu Yokkaichi Station with taps, cans, and bottles, then pick-by-mood drinking sounds perfect.
Hop BroExactly. craft beer HOP CROWD is great for a calm drink, but this time they also warned people about heavy rain and typhoons, so if you're heading over, boots are apparently the move.
MugiA beer outing with serious equipment, amazing. And June 28 and June 30 are temporary closures, plus there's a the 6 dish event on July 11 at 13:00. Okay, I need to plan this properly!
Hop BroStarting with Terpsman IPA and bathing your nose in hops, then landing on Kurikuro later, is basically the perfect tasting flight route. Even in the rain, that run is worth it.
MugiDone. Boots on, Terpsman IPA first, Kurikuro to finish, and now I want a drink immediately! My stomach and my schedule are both ready for those seven taps.
craft beer HOP CROWD, a beer pub in Suwa Sakaemachi, Yokkaichi, posted its latest tap list on June 26. The second-floor venue, within walking distance of Kintetsu Yokkaichi Station, is known for serving craft beer on tap as well as in cans and bottles.
The featured beer in this update is `Terpsman IPA` from `Faction`. The post describes it as a West Coast IPA brewed with generous amounts of terpene-derived aroma, making it a strong pick for drinkers who want a clearly hop-forward pint. The rest of the lineup spans a wide range of styles and flavors: `KONKI Pale Ale Mosaic ver.` from `Noboribetsu Jibeer Onidensetsu`, `Onizori Lager` from `Ise Kadoya Beer x Onidensetsu`, `Asakusa Line Mikan Ale` from `NAMACHAんBrewing`, `Giri Moza` from `Neko Beer`, `Starwatcher Tsuyu` from `West Coast Brewing`, and `Kuri Kuro` from `Miyazaki Hideji Beer`.
The post also warned guests about heavy rain and a typhoon, jokingly suggesting boots for anyone heading over. It noted temporary closures on June 28 and 30, and announced an event on July 11 at 1:00 p.m.: Shinfan-chan's `the 6 dish`. With a lineup that moves from bright and citrusy to crisp lager and dark beer, HOP CROWD again looks like the kind of place where beer fans can pick exactly the pint they feel like drinking.
