Hop BroBeer O'clock in Chiba has brought in another interesting guest. This time it's a two-beer lineup from Oni Densetsu and TEENAGE, and the comparison should be a lot of fun.
MugiWhoa! Just hearing two guest beers on tap makes my stomach growl. And Beer O'clock sounds like the kind of place where following tap updates is part of the fun!
Hop BroFirst up is Oni Densetsu's "Kin-Oni Pale Ale ADHA-218 Single Ver." The style is American Pale Ale, and at 5.5% it's a nice balance of drinkability and aroma.
MugiADHA? What even is that! And "Single Ver." suddenly makes it sound like a research lab. When you say balance of aroma and bitterness, I'm curious, but it sounds complicated!
Hop BroTo put it simply, it's like a version that narrows in on how the hop character is presented. It layers berry and mango notes with banana-like nuances and citrus, but the bitterness is firmly there, so it doesn't end as just something soft and sweet.
MugiOhhh! Fruity but still holding back nothing, I might really like that. A full-bodied mouthfeel sounds like something big and fluffy is going to happen in my mouth!
Hop BroAnd the other one is TEENAGE's "Disk Echo." This is an Imperial Stout w/ Coffee and a heavyweight at 11.0%.
Mugi11.0%!? That's already a heavyweight in the beer world. Since it's a coffee collaboration, does it have the vibe of a nighttime dessert?
Hop BroExactly. It's a collaboration with ONIW COFFEE, roasted by toe guitarist Takaaki Mino, and it uses anaerobic natural beans from Chiang Rai, Thailand. The flavor is a pretty layered finish with cacao and bitter chocolate, plus a subtle acidity and depth.
MugiWow, enjoying the pale ale for its aroma and then finishing with the stout sounds perfect! On Saturday it's open continuously from 12:00 to 23:30, right? That makes it the kind of place you'd want to stay at all day from afternoon into night.

Beer O'clock is known as a beer pub that's easy to reach from Chiba Station and Chiba-Chuo Station, and it's a place where following tap changes is part of the fun. You can relax and drink inside the shop, and on days when it stays open continuously from afternoon into the night, it's also appealing as a place to take your time and enjoy beer with a meal. This lineup pairs a pale ale that highlights hop aroma with a dense, coffee-driven stout, making for an interesting side-by-side comparison.
The post from that day also mentioned "Talkover coffee fes," which was being held around the same time at Chiba Park Shibaniwa, showing how craft beer can be enjoyed alongside city events. A drink at Beer O'clock is the kind that invites you to take your time, checking how the aroma opens up and how the body differs from beer to beer.
