Nomcraft Juso taps 15 beers, taco event set for March 21-22
Nomcraft Juso Taproom in Osaka's Juso district has published its tap list for March 20. The lineup includes 15 beers in total, from standard lagers and IPAs to high-ABV beers around 10%, collaboration beers, and guest pours from Miyazaki and Shiga. A taco event is also scheduled for March 21-22.
Hop BroNomcraft Juso Taproom in Osaka's Juso district has released its tap list for March 20. This time 15 beers are on deck, spanning lager to IPA and even 10%-class brews, so the range is pretty wide.
MugiWhoa! 15 kinds is a lot, isn't it!? And from lager to high-ABV? That's the kind of lineup where you have to consult your stomach!
Hop BroExactly. For example, `NOMCRAFT LAGER` is a Helles Lager, `NOMCRAFT IPA` is an American IPA, and `JUSO XPA` is there too, so they're firmly showcasing their house staples first. It's a setup with three core pillars that really shows the shop's backbone.
MugiHuh, I see! But Helles Lager and American IPA sound so technical that I'm already a little lost! Do style differences really come through that much in the taste?
Hop BroThey do, they do. A Helles Lager is crisp and gentle, while an American IPA puts hop aroma and bitterness front and center. Add something like `THE BEAST`, a Triple Hazy IPA, and it becomes a hop overload.
MugiHop overload? What kind of pressure is that! But `THE BEAST` is listed at 10.0%, so if I drink it, it'll probably be a monster that lives up to its name!
Hop BroAnd the high-ABV beers don't stop there: `HABANO NOIR`, an Imperial Brown Ale, is also 10.0%, and `WEIZEN DOPPELBOCK` is 8.0%. From the light `ORDINARY BITTER` to the rich stuff, the tasting range is really broad.
MugiWow, that sounds fun! But with `VAULT BREAKER` having pineapple, coconut, vanilla, and lime, isn't that more like a tropical lab than a beer?
Hop BroThat's exactly what makes Nomcraft feel like Nomcraft. They have collabs like `THE BEAST` with Brew Beast and `MOONBOW SHEEP` with Merry San no Sauvage, plus guest pours like `Hodoku` from NOVORU Brewing in Miyazaki and `ボン梅ツェン` from HINO BREWING in Shiga. It's strong that they have plenty of domestic guests too.
MugiWait, guest beers too!? And the taco event is March 21-22, right? The beer-and-taco pairing is basically the perfect weekend!
Hop BroExactly. Pair hop aroma, acidity, and roasted notes with tacos, and the 15-tap lineup all starts to make sense. This is definitely the kind of place that makes you want to raise a glass in Juso.
MugiYeah, I definitely want to go drink now! I'll start with `NOMCRAFT IPA`, and hop bro, you're on monster duty, right? Juso gathering this weekend it is!
The brewpub Nomcraft Juso Taproom in Juso Honmachi, Yodogawa Ward, Osaka City, announced its latest lineup for Friday, March 20 (a holiday). In its post, the brewery thanked guests who came in during the previous week's "Weizen Week" and, as part of its holiday operating information, announced tap updates and a food event.
The highlight of the day is a 15-tap lineup spanning styles with very different drinking profiles. In addition to staples such as `NOMCRAFT LAGER` (Helles Lager), `NOMCRAFT IPA` (American IPA), and `JUSO XPA`, the list also includes higher-ABV offerings like `THE BEAST` (Triple Hazy IPA, 10.0%) and `HABANO NOIR` (Imperial Brown Ale, 10.0%). From the brisk `ORDINARY BITTER` (3.5%) to `WEIZEN DOPPELBOCK` (8.0%), the range is wide, making it easy to compare styles in one place.
Among the collaboration beers, `THE BEAST` is announced as a collaboration with Brew Beast, while `MOONBOW SHEEP` is a collaboration with Merry San no Sauvage. `VAULT BREAKER` (Imperial Gose, with pineapple, coconut, vanilla, and lime), which uses adjuncts, also gives off the experimental spirit that suits a taproom.
Guest pours also include `Hodoku` from NOVORU Brewing in Miyazaki and `ボン梅ツェン` from HINO BREWING in Shiga. Centering its own beers while weaving in the character of Japanese craft breweries gives the lineup both the feel of an on-site brewpub and a curator's touch.
A taco event is planned for Saturday, March 21, and Sunday, March 22. The post also emphasizes how well beer and tacos pair, so it looks like a weekend for enjoying hop aroma, acidity, and roasted notes alongside food.
