Beer O'clock Taps Be Easy’s Iwakisan no Aki and Yokohama Bay Brewing’s Bay Hell
Beer O'clock, a craft beer pub in Chiba, has tapped two new beers: Be Easy’s smoked lager Iwakisan no Aki and Yokohama Bay Brewing’s Munich-style Helles, Bay Hell.
Hop BroBeer O'clock in Chiba's Fujimi has tapped two new autumn beers. A lager face-off between Be Easy and Yokohama Bay Brewing—hard to miss!
MugiWhat, two at once? What is a lager face-off? Can beers in the same family really be that different?
Hop BroFirst is Be Easy's “Iwakisan no Aki.” It is a 6.0% smoked lager, a seasonal beer made for enjoying smoky aromas and autumn vibes.
MugiSmoked? Is the beer actually being smoked? Please don't tell me the glass arrives billowing with smoke!
Hop BroNo smoke trapped in the glass, so relax! The aroma comes from smoked malt. Pacifica hops add floral citrus aromas, while the finish stays dry.
MugiWow, so it is not just smoky—it is refreshing too. Then what about the Bay Helles?
Hop BroIt is a 4.5% Munich-Style Helles from Yokohama Bay Brewing's 15th-anniversary BAY HELL line. Five hops, led by Hersbrucker, aim for a malty, smooth finish.
MugiMalty means something like sweet, rich grain flavor, right?
Hop BroExactly—think bread and biscuit-like richness from malt. They even aim for a three-liter lager. Mugi, is your stein ready?
MugiThree liters!? My stomach cannot expand on command! But I absolutely want the German potato omelet with the local potatoes, bacon, and free-range eggs.
Hop BroThat is Bauernfrühstück, scented with house-made garlic butter. BeerO'ctoberfest is underway from October 2 through 18, with some all-day service dates for daytime drinking.
MugiI want both smoky Iwakisan no Aki and easy-drinking Bay Helles! Let's toast with an omelet and an autumn daytime beer!
Beer O'clock, a beer pub in Fujimi, Chiba City, has announced two new taps for craft beer fans.
The first is Be Easy’s “Iwakisan no Aki,” a 6.0% smoked lager. Pleasant smoke aromas meet floral and citrus notes from Pacifica hops grown in New Zealand. Its dry finish and smoky character make it a seasonal beer suited to a relaxed afternoon or evening pint.
The second new tap is “Bay Hell” from Yokohama Bay Brewing. Brewed as part of the brewery’s 15th-anniversary “BAY HELL” lineup, this Munich-style Helles has an ABV of 4.5%. Built around Hersbrucker hops and a total of five hop varieties, it balances a malty flavor with a smooth, easy-drinking body. The beer was developed with the aim of creating a lager drinkable by the three-liter measure.
The post also introduces Bauernfrühstück, a German-style potato omelet made with potatoes from Samba Farm, bacon from Meister Togane-ya, free-range eggs from Omatsu Farm, and house-made garlic butter. The savory dish should pair naturally with both the smoky lager and the clean Helles.
Beer O'clock is also running BeerO'ctoberfest from October 2 through October 18, giving guests a chance to enjoy seasonal beer and German-inspired food at the Chiba pub.
