craft beer HOP CROWD in Yokkaichi taps NEKO BEER and Onidensetsu x Yuya Boys
The beer pub craft beer HOP CROWD in Yokkaichi, Mie, updated its tap list on Instagram. The lineup includes a new sour IPA from NEKO BEER and a pale ale from Onidensetsu x Yuya Boys, alongside eight beers spanning lager to milk stout.
Hop BroToday’s update from craft beer HOP CROWD in Yokkaichi is a good one. They’ve got eight beers on tap, led by a new NEKO BEER and an Oni Densetsu x Yuya Boys collab.
MugiWait, HOP CROWD already sounds intense! Is the Kintetsu Yokkaichi area really hiding a tap list like that?
Hop BroIt is. The headline pour is NEKO BEER’s 'Spalnyan X ~ Moeyo! Berry Berry MIX! ~,' a berry-driven Sour IPA with bright fruit and a sharp finish.
MugiHold on, a Sour IPA? Does that mean my mouth has to host a peace summit between sour and bitter?
Hop BroPretty much, but it works. The sour side brings tang, the IPA side brings hops, and together you get sweet-tart fruit character that still feels crisp.
MugiWhoa, okay! Then what about 'Kin Oni Rock ver. II'? With a name like that I’m expecting full demon mode.
Hop BroThe name punches harder than the beer. It’s a seasonal Pale Ale from Oni Densetsu x Yuya Boys, with a clear drinking profile and a bright, hoppy lift.
MugiCats, demons, and then Minoh Beer’s Peach Weizen Hayao ver. too? This tap list has more plot twists than a summer drama.
Hop BroExactly, and it keeps going with Isekadoya’s lager, Finger Food WC IPA, and NEKO BEER’s milk stout, so you can go from lager to stout in one stop.
MugiMilk stout still sounds illegal to me. The words almond vanilla make it sound like someone poured a bakery into a glass.
Hop BroThat’s basically the appeal. It usually gets its soft texture from lactose, and 'Patisserie Nyanpachi' comes across like a drinkable pastry with roasty sweetness.
MugiThat is dangerously convincing. If they’ve posted holiday hours too, I’m ready to start a tap-crawl plan immediately.
Hop BroThat’s the fun of HOP CROWD: you follow the guest updates and build your own route. I’d open with lager, cut through the Sour IPA, then finish dark for the perfect relay.
MugiSold. A cat-and-demon tasting in Yokkaichi, plus peach and stout? I’m thirsty just hearing about it.
Craft beer HOP CROWD, a beer pub on the 2nd floor of the Suwahanazono Building in Suwa Sakaemachi, Yokkaichi, shared its latest tap update on Instagram. The shop is easy to stop by from the Kintetsu Yokkaichi area, and its changing guest beers make it a good place to work through a wide range of styles. The post also included a notice about holiday-period opening hours.
The main additions were NEKO BEER's "スパルニャンエックス~萌えよ！ベリーベリーMIX！~" and Onidensetsu x Yuya Boys' "金鬼 ロックver.Ⅱ". The former is described as a berry-forward sour IPA, while the latter is a seasonal pale ale. Both beers stand out for being approachable in style even though their names are anything but quiet.
The rest of the tap list is just as varied: Himitsu Beer x HOP CROWD "やすみたい～ぬ", Minoh Beer "桃ヴァイツェン 早生ver.", Ise Kadoya Beer "よりみちのラガー", Yuya Boys "Flower Children Lotus", Hop Butcher x West Coast Brewing "Finger Food WC IPA", and NEKO BEER "パティスリーにゃんぱち～アーモンドバニラミルクスタウト～". From lager and wheat beer to IPA and stout, it is a lineup built for comparison, not just for one style.
