Hakuraku Mokki in Hakuraku adds GROUNDTAP BREWERY's YURARI
Hakuraku Mokki, a beer pub in Hakuraku, introduced YURARI from GROUNDTAP BREWERY. The collaboration with POGO CURRY is a chai-spiced dark lager, and on Friday, August 14, the bar will run its usual weekday service without curry rice.
Hop BroThere’s a guest tap in Hakuraku worth talking about: Hakuraku Mokki is pouring GROUNDTAP BREWERY’s "YURARI."
MugiWait, that name already sounds dreamy! YURARI is cute, but what kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt’s a collab with the Saijo curry shop POGO CURRY, a Chai Spiced Dark Lager at 7.0% ABV. Total POGO CURRY collab curveball.
MugiWhat is that even supposed to mean? Chai Spiced Dark Lager sounds like a spell from a wizard pub.
Hop BroNo spell required. It’s built on a bock, a richer lager, then layered with cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and clove. So think bock-based lager with chai aromatics.
MugiWhoa! So it’s not milk tea, but my brain is already seeing steam. That’s basically drinkable chai curry!
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. The malt sweetness gives it range, so it works with food, after food, or on its own. Mokki also runs craft beer on seven taps, so the seven-tap lineup is doing real work.
MugiHold on, the curry collab beer lands on a day when curry rice is paused? That is elite-level teasing!
Hop BroYep, August 14 is still normal service, so it’s a smart day to catch the guest keg. Then they’re closed Monday through Thursday next week, so it’s basically the last sip before break.
MugiNow I’m picturing dark lager with that spicy lift, and I want my nose kidnapped by cinnamon and cardamom.
Hop BroSame here. My throat’s ready already, so tonight feels like straight to Hakuraku.
Hakuraku Mokki, a beer pub near Hakuraku Station inside the shopping arcade, has announced YURARI from GROUNDTAP BREWERY as a guest beer. The bar is known for seven taps of craft beer, along with spice curry and natural wine, making it a flexible stop for both a quick pint and a full meal.
YURARI is a collaboration beer with POGO CURRY in Saijo. Built on a bock base, it is brewed with a spice mix inspired by the chai served at POGO CURRY. The beer is labeled as a Chai Spiced Dark Lager and sits at 7.0% ABV. Its recipe includes malt, naked barley, hops, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and clove, giving it a layered balance of malt sweetness and spice-driven aroma.
The post describes it as a beer that works as a food-pairing drink, a post-meal pour, or a standalone pint. Hakuraku Mokki will be open on Friday, August 14 as usual for a weekday service, but without curry rice. With summer closure planned for the following Monday through Thursday, that date looks like the clearest window to catch the guest tap.
