BEERKICHI in Fukuoka taps Yellow Beer Works Milk & and nine guest beers
BEERKICHI, a beer pub in Watanabe-dori, Fukuoka, updated its guest beer lineup on July 25 with a 13:00 to 24:00 service window. The roster features Yellow Beer Works’ Milk &, six Novoru beers, and two NEKOBEER releases, spanning sour, hazy, Belgian, and coffee-forward styles.
Hop BroToday's BEERKICHI guest lineup is seriously strong. On July 25, they're open from 1 p.m. to midnight, and they've packed in Yellow Beer Works, Novoru, and NEKOBEER all at once.
MugiWhat, nine beers refreshed at once? That's basically a festival! Sour, IPA, Belgian stuff... even I can get excited just reading that list.
Hop BroThe first one that grabs me is Milk & turquoise ver. from Yellow Beer Works. It's a smoothie lassi sour at 4.0% ABV, so it already sounds bright, soft, and dangerously easy to drink.
MugiLassi like the yogurt drink, right? Smoothie lassi sour sounds less like beer and more like breakfast crashing happy hour!
Hop BroBasically it's an acidic dessert beer. You get fruit density, some smoothie-like body, and that mellow lassi feel, so the sourness lands soft instead of sharp.
MugiWhoa, that's a spoon-worthy beer. And if it's turquoise too, the glass is basically taking a summer vacation.
Hop BroThen Novoru comes in with six beers, and Hiraku and Asobell are big haze highlights. Double Dry Hopped and Triple Dry Hopped means they're really pushing hop aroma up front.
MugiHold on, Double Dry Hopped sounds like a spell. If you say it three times, does an IPA boss battle start?
Hop BroIn plain terms, it's an aroma maxed-out method. They add hops later in the process to boost citrus and tropical notes, which is exactly why beers like Hiraku and Meguru pop so hard.
Hop BroAnd the range keeps going, because Hashagu and Aviru bring the Belgian side of things. One is a Belgian IPA and the other a Belgian White, so the lineup doesn't get stuck in haze mode.
MugiAnd there's even Saboru the Coffee IPA? The name sounds lazy, but the beer sounds aggressive. Then NEKOBEER adds Hyugakun as a fruit saison and Sparunyan X as a Sour IPA, and my brain is doing warm-up stretches.
Hop BroWith both draft and cans moving, it's basically a tasting paradise. At BEERKICHI you can hop from Fukushima to Miyazaki to Fukuoka without leaving your stool, and I'm genuinely stuck choosing between Milk & and Hiraku first.
MugiI've made my decision: I want this now. Start with Milk & for the surprise, settle into Hyugakun, then finish on Saboru. Even midnight feels too early.
