Located in LUCUA Osaka B2, directly connected to JR Osaka Station, it's an easy stop for a drink before or after a live show.
Hop BroAt Craft Beer Market in LUCUA Osaka B2, today's four new taps are seriously interesting!
MugiWait, at a place directly connected to Osaka Station, you can choose that many? That sounds perfect for a drink before or after a live show!
Hop BroThe lineup is strong too: Minoh Beer's new MUGICHA BITTER and Rockin' Osaru IPA, plus Shonan Beer's Alt and Hitachino Nest's Espresso Stout!
MugiWhat even is that! Rockin' Osaru IPA sounds intense, and calling it a punchier version makes it sound like a band name!
Hop BroAnd Rockin' Osaru IPA really does lean into hop bitterness, with a dry finish at the end, so the perceived IBU is pretty high too.
MugiIBU!? You just dropped a spell! Is that supposed to mean bitterness level?
Hop BroThat's exactly right. The higher the number, the more bitter it tends to feel. So MUGICHA BITTER is one you can drink casually with its soft malt character.
MugiOhhh! Then if you're pairing with food, Shonan Beer's Alt, and then Hitachino Nest's espresso-scented dark beer to finish, that's basically a winning sequence, right?
Hop BroExactly, and they've already teased a double tap takeover for March 19 too. The whole flow is perfect!
MugiIt's decided! First, let's compare the four beers, because I already want a drink right now!
Hop BroSame here. The range goes from light to heavy, so tonight let's go compare beers at a single stop!
Craft Beer Market LUCUA Osaka's latest post announced four new taps. The venue is LUCUA Osaka B2 (inside Bar Chika), directly connected to Osaka Station. It's a practical tap update in the store's usual style, making it easy to enjoy craft beer casually alongside food.
Four notable new taps
- MUGICHA BITTER (Minoh Beer)
A bitter in the British-style "tea series," brewed with barley tea. It centers on the soft sweetness and roasted aroma of malt, designed for an easy, leisurely drinking pace.
- Rockin' Osaru IPA (Minoh Beer)
Positioned as a punchier version of the standard "Osaru IPA." It delivers a firm hop-driven bitterness, then finishes dry.
- Alt (Shonan Beer)
A traditional top-fermenting style. With elegant malt character and delicate flavor, it's an easy match for food.
- Espresso Stout (Hitachino Nest Beer)
A dark beer brewed with deeply roasted coffee beans. It features a deep espresso-like aroma, along with layered bitterness and acidity.
The post also announced the next event: a double tap takeover by SEOUL BREWERY x CRAFTROCK BREWING on Thursday, March 19. It creates a flow that keeps the focus on the new taps while leading into the next tap update.
Because it's directly connected to the station, it's easy to drop by, and it's useful from lunch through dinner. With a range from a light bitter to a rich stout, it's also a good time for comparing beers at a single stop.
