Yokkaichi’s craft beer HOP CROWD posts June 3 lineup with Himitsu Beer and ISEKADO
On June 3, craft beer HOP CROWD in Yokkaichi posted a tap update featuring both cans and draft pours, including Himitsu Beer x Imuraya’s Himitsu no Melon and a wide draft list anchored by an ISEKADO x Oni Densetsu collaboration.
Hop BroYokkaichi’s craft beer HOP CROWD just posted its June tap lineup, and the range from cans to draft is wild.
MugiWait, range from cans is exciting now? I’m already getting schooled by beer vocabulary!
Hop BroTotally. Himitsu Beer’s Himitsu no Melon is an Imuraya collab Ice cream Beer, so it comes in with full dessert energy.
MugiWhat even is that! Ice cream Beer sounds like a pint and a parfait joined forces.
Hop BroThen there’s the ISEKADO collab Rakko ni Hiki, the fourth batch of a DDH IPA, built to throw huge hop aroma at you.
MugiHold on, DDH IPA sounds less like beer and more like a robot password.
Hop BroFair point. DDH means extra dry hopping for bigger aroma, so the easy version is aroma turned way up with that bitter-citrusy IPA feel.
MugiOkay, that I get! And Anglo Japanese Brewing’s Sour Grapefruit Cooler sounds amazing already.
Hop BroThat one’s a Berliner Weisse, basically a light tart wheat sour, and it uses Nozawa Onsen wheat plus grapefruit juice, so it’s a popular return pour. Oni Shibori Lager on draft is a must too.
MugiAnd HOP CROWD runs Tue-Sat 4 p.m. to midnight, Sun 1 p.m. to 9 p.m., which is basically tasting-flight heaven. I’m noting the June 7 special hours and the June 16 and 28 closures too!
Hop BroIn central Yokkaichi, a place with this much range makes me want the can and draft combo. I’d start with Oni Shibori Lager, then go full hop mode with Rakko ni Hiki.
MugiThat’s basically one-stop beer travel! From melon dessert vibes to crisp lager finish, I want a glass right now.
On June 3, craft beer HOP CROWD in Yokkaichi posted a tap update that paired a broad draft list with a few canned releases. The bar sits on the second floor of Suwa Hanazono Building in central Yokkaichi, so it works well as a one-stop stop for comparing styles.
The can side starts with Himitsu Beer. `ひみつのメロン`, a collaboration with Imuraya, is listed as an Ice creem Beer, while `らっこにひき` is introduced as the fourth batch of its DDH IPA and a collaboration with ISEKADO. Anglo Japanese Brewing’s `Sour Grapefruit Cooler` also appears; the post describes it as a Berliner Weisse made with wheat from Nozawa Onsen Village and grapefruit juice, and notes that it was brought back after being well received last year.
The draft side stays just as varied: `伊勢角屋麦酒×鬼伝説 鬼絞りラガー`, `Yuya Boys Flower Children Sakura Session`, `のぼりべつ地ビール鬼伝説 金鬼ペールエール ネクタロンver.`, `NEKOBEER 濁り侍にゃん平時`, Beachwood’s `Nel'send It WC IPA`, and Off Trail’s `Wild Caught 2024`. It is a lineup that moves from tart and refreshing to hop-forward IPAs and more substantial pours without leaving the bar.
Hours are Tuesday to Saturday 16:00-24:00 and Sunday 13:00-21:00. June 7 is a special 15:00-21:00 service day, and June 16 and 28 are listed as temporary closures. For drinkers in Yokkaichi who want one place with a wide style range, this is an easy bar to keep on the radar.
