Tap Update


On June 29, CHICKEN BOY in Imaike, Nagoya announced on Instagram that it had tapped GOHOBI IPA from Yellow Monkey Brewing as a guest beer.

CHICKEN BOY is a beer pub centered on craft beer and charcoal-grilled yakitori. Located about a minute from Imaike Station, it is the kind of place where a drink can easily turn into dinner. The setting makes it a natural match for beer-drinking food pairings rather than beer alone.

What’s on Tap


The featured beer is Yellow Monkey Brewing’s GOHOBI IPA. In the post, it is described as having restrained bitterness, a clean and crisp body, and a fragrant hop character that finishes lightly.

That profile suggests an IPA with aroma and presence, but without heavy lingering bitterness. In other words, it should work well alongside char-grilled chicken, where the roasted edges of the food can meet the beer’s hop aroma without overwhelming each other.

For a venue like CHICKEN BOY, which balances beer and yakitori, this is the kind of guest tap that fits the menu and the room. It is a straightforward but appealing update for anyone looking for a solid first pint in Imaike.
