Hop BroAt BEERKICHI on Watanabe-dori in Fukuoka, the 7th anniversary festival has started. From April 29 to May 6, it opens every day at 1:00 p.m., and you can really feel the anniversary energy.
MugiWait, it opens every day at 1:00 p.m.? And there are three new NEKOBEER beers too? The place is basically already a festival!
Hop BroExactly. The star this time is the in-house NEKOBEER lineup. Otsumiru~2026ver. is a DDH Oatcream Hazy IPA, so it sounds fluffy and rich.
MugiDDH? What is that? Oatcream sounds like it must be sweet just from the name, but is it really beer?
Hop BroDDH is a method that uses a lot of dry hopping, which really brings the aroma forward. Oats make the mouthfeel softer and also help create that hazy, cloudy look.
MugiOhhh. So Nyajii to Oats Cream Factory must be one of those soft, fluffy drinking experiences too?
Hop BroThat's right. It's a DDH Oatcream IPA at ABV 6.5%, and Piru Nyaa is a Pilsner at ABV 5.0%, so it's a lineup that lets you compare styles in a light, easy way.
MugiA Pilsner too, that's great! And BEERKICHI really does have a good range for tasting side by side.
Hop BroAnd then Totopia's Loopphobia comes in strong. It's a 2×mash DDH Hazy TIPA at ABV 9.0%, so it feels like the rich, punchy closer.
Mugi2×mash sounds complicated... but basically it means it's rich and really aromatic, right?
Hop BroYeah, roughly speaking. If you're drinking in Fukuoka over the holidays, this is a lineup that makes you want to do an anniversary beer crawl in Tenjin-Minami, so it's definitely worth checking out early.
MugiNow I totally want to drink there! I'll start with Piru Nyaa to see how it goes, then finish with Loopphobia!
Hop BroNice. I'd want to work through the NEKOBEER beers in order and then go big with Totopia at the end. This anniversary tap lineup is definitely one that makes you want to raise a glass together.
