BEERKICHI taps NEKOBEER/CLEARNEKOLIQUID 'Haippaa,' plus NEKOBEER's NZ-hop PA
The beer pub BEERKICHI in Watanabedori, Fukuoka, opened at 3:00 p.m. and closed at midnight on Tuesday, May 19. On tap were NEKOBEER/CLEARNEKOLIQUID's TDH West Coast IPA 'Haippaa' and NEKOBEER's single-hop pale ale.
Hop BroThe tap update at BEERKICHI in Watanabedori, Fukuoka is pretty hot today. NEKOBEER/CLEARNEKOLIQUID's "Haippaa" and NEKOBEER's NZ-hop PA are lined up.
MugiWhoa! Even the name Haippaa sounds way too energetic already, doesn't it? And TDH West Coast IPA sounds like some kind of spell!
Hop BroExactly. TDH stands for Triple Dry Hopping, a brewing method that pushes the aroma right to the front. On top of that comes the firmly bitter outline you expect from a West Coast IPA, so the beer snaps into focus the moment you drink it.
MugiDry hop? Does that mean drying them out? Wait, you don't mean putting the hops in a dryer, right?
Hop BroNo, no. It's a method of adding hops after fermentation to layer in aroma, aiming for aroma rather than bitterness. So "Haippaa" is full-on hop aroma, with enough body at 7.5% ABV to back it up.
MugiI see! I'm curious about the other single-hop pale too! The name is so long I might run out of breath ordering it!
Hop BroThat's a pale ale made with the NZ hop Rakau, and its comfortable 5.5% strength is great. Because it shows what one hop can do, the personality of the aroma comes through very clearly.
MugiOhh! So today we get to compare an extra-bitter IPA with a light and fragrant pale ale!
Hop BroExactly. And since it's open from 3:00 p.m. to midnight, it's easy to drop by casually from Tenjin-minami. BEERKICHI's appeal is its frequent tap updates.
MugiAnd it's packed with event plans too, so it doesn't stop at beer alone! Kirio meal and fried shrimp already make me hungry just from the names!
Hop BroIt really captures the shop's 'now.' Today, I want to start by checking out the two-beer lineup from Fukuoka and soak up the atmosphere of the next events too.
MugiYeah, I can't help it after reading this! Tonight I want both the IPA and the PA!

BEERKICHI is a small beer pub that is easy to reach from the Tenjin-minami area. Its taps are updated frequently, and one of its attractions is that it makes it easy to compare a sharply defined beer like an IPA and an aromatic pale ale on the same day. In this post as well, the focus is on two beers with hop character front and center, conveying the shop's 'now' as it is.
The post also announced upcoming events: 5/23 (Sat) Kirio Meshi in Fukuoka, 5/31 (Sun) 1,000 Fried Shrimp Knockout, 6/7 (Sun) Marugoto Marumaru Festival, 6/8 (Mon) Kansuke x Beef Tongue Eat Night, and 6/14 (Sun) Middle-Aged Festival. Beyond the beer tap update, BEERKICHI's appeal is that you can enjoy the atmosphere of the events gathering at the shop as well.
On this day, you can enjoy a drink that checks the current state of Fukuoka's craft beer scene, centered on a firmly bitter West Coast IPA and a pale ale that brings out the character of NZ hops.
