Yokkaichi’s craft beer HOP CROWD updates 7 taps with CRAK Pizzapils
The beer pub craft beer HOP CROWD in Suwa Sakaemachi, Yokkaichi, posted a new tap list on Instagram. The lineup spans CRAK’s Pizzapils, Ise Kadoya Beer’s Brain-Melting Ultra Heaven, a dry cider from FABBRICA BIRRA PERUGIA, and more.
Hop BroI want to talk about craft beer HOP CROWD in Yokkaichi today because they just rolled out seven fresh taps. It is the kind of lineup where you can plan the whole ride from a crisp first pint to a heavy finisher.
MugiWhat! HOP CROWD in Yokkaichi changed that much at once? That is not a tap list, that is a strategy game!
Hop BroThe headline newcomer is CRAK’s Pizzapils, an extra dry-hopped Italian pilsner. It has citrusy Citra character and a sharp finish, so it sounds perfect as the first glass.
MugiHold on, extra dry-hopped sounds like a wizard spell. Are you describing beer or casting something on it?
Hop BroPut simply, it means hops added late so the aroma pops harder. Instead of just bitterness, you get that bright lemony-citrus lift right up front.
MugiOoh, if it is made for the first pour, I am already tempted. I want my post-work beer to walk in wearing sunglasses.
Hop BroIf you want to go bigger, Ise Kadoya Beer’s Brain-Melting Ultra Heaven is the power move. It is an American Style Triple IPA with big hop aroma and a solid malt backbone.
MugiNo way, brain-melting energy in the name and then you explain it like a textbook! Is there at least a safe landing after that?
Hop BroThere is: FABBRICA BIRRA PERUGIA’s Sidro di Mele. It is a dry cider, unpasteurized and unfiltered, and it works as a palate reset between beers.
MugiWow, a palate-reset cider too? That lineup is doing actual support work. Now I can attack the heavy and sweet stuff without fear.
Hop BroThe returning taps are strong too: Faction’s Commando 450 IPA, Onidensetsu’s Kinki Pale Ale CGX Nelson, Isekado West Coast Pilsner, and NEKO BEER’s Pastry Nyankoro. With IPA, pilsner, pale ale, and stout all there, I am already drawing a tasting flight blueprint in my head.
MugiI am done for, because now I want the full drinking arc from first sip to final closer. Sit me down in Yokkaichi and start me on Pizzapils immediately!

The new arrivals are Pizzapils from CRAK, Brain-Melting Ultra Heaven from Ise Kadoya Beer, and Sidro di Mele from FABBRICA BIRRA PERUGIA.

The rest of the board is equally varied: Commando 450 IPA from Faction, Kinki Pale Ale CGX Nelson from Noboribetsu Ji Beer Onidensetsu, Isekado West Coast Pilsner from Ise Kadoya Beer, and Pastry Nyankoro~ Strawberry Ganache Cake Stout~ from NEKO BEER. With IPA, pilsner, pale ale, stout, and cider in one place, it is the kind of lineup that makes comparison tasting easy.
Set on the second floor, the pub is the sort of place where deciding the first pour is part of the fun. For a night in Yokkaichi that starts with a crisp lager and ends with something heavier, this is a list worth noting.
