Beer O'clock taps Minoh Beer’s Tea Bitter and Oni Densetsu’s IPA
Beer O'clock in Chiba has added two guest beers to the lineup: Minoh Beer's Earl Grey bitter and Oni Densetsu's collaborative IPA. The pub also shared notices for upcoming weekend events.
Hop BroBeer O'clock in Chiba just tapped two fresh guest beers: Minoh Beer’s “Black Tea Bitter” and Oni Densetsu’s “West Oni East Oni IPA.” That lineup is honestly unfair.
MugiWait, those names are wild! A tea bitter? Is this beer about to turn me into a classy British lady?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. Black Tea Bitter 4.5% is a UK-style bitter layered with Earl Grey aroma, so it works great for slow sipping with food from the night menu.
MugiHold on, UK-style bitter sounds intimidating. I heard “bitter” and my taste buds already flinched!
Hop BroIn this case, gentle bitterness is the point. It’s an English ale with soft malt sweetness, not a punch-you-in-the-face kind of bitter.
MugiOhhh, so it’s got a tea-cookie vibe? That sounds like it could hang out with dinner without starting a fight.
Hop BroThen the other one, West Oni East Oni IPA 5.5%, is a collab between Beer Parlour Pogo and KARAKURI, packed with citrusy tropical aroma from Mosaic and Strata hops.
MugiWhat even is Mosaic and Strata? That sounds less like beer and more like wizard electives!
Hop BroRelax, they’re hop varieties. Citrus-tropical aromas like grapefruit and ripe fruit are exactly what they’re good at.
MugiOkay, and Beer O'clock has up to 12 taps, right? I’d start with the tea bitter and then chase it with the IPA like a proper side quest!
Hop BroExactly, and their posts tease events too, so what gets tapped next is part of the fun. It’s the kind of Chiba spot that rewards repeat visits.
MugiI’m sold. With the night menu, I want to ease in with the tea bitter and finish sharp with the IPA. Now I seriously need a glass.
Beer O'clock, a craft-beer pub in Chiba's Fujimi area, has highlighted two new guest taps in its latest Instagram post: Minoh Beer's "Koucha Bitter" and Oni Densetsu's "Nishi Oni Higashi Oni IPA." With up to 12 taps on site, the bar remains a place where drinkers can follow the tap list as it changes.
"Koucha Bitter" is a 4.5% bitter brewed with Earl Grey tea. Built on a UK-style bitter base, it brings a calm malt profile, gentle bitterness, and a refined tea aroma that makes it easy to pair with food. The post notes that it is also available on the evening menu, which makes it a practical choice for a slow dinner pint.
The second beer, "Nishi Oni Higashi Oni IPA," is a 5.5% IPA brewed in collaboration with Beer Parlor Pogo and KARAKURI. According to the post, it uses Mosaic and Strata, giving it a bright citrus and tropical aroma with a clean, balanced bitterness. For IPA fans, it looks like a straightforward but appealing guest pour.
The post also mentions weekend event notices for June 27 and June 28, adding another reason to keep an eye on Beer O'clock's schedule. For Chiba beer drinkers, it is the kind of pub where tap updates and event news naturally go hand in hand.
