Nomcraft Juso Taproom Releases 15-Tap Lineup as of 3/29
The brewpub Nomcraft Juso Taproom in Osaka's Juso district released its tap list as of March 29. The 15-beer lineup spans house-brewed staples, high-ABV limited releases, and collaborations with other breweries, and April will also bring an anniversary campaign.
Hop BroThe Juso brewpub has put out its 15-tap lineup as of 3/29. Very much in Nomcraft Juso Taproom style, it's nice to see house brews, collabs, and guest beers all lined up at once.
MugiWait, 15 kinds!? That's way too much choice. I can already see myself getting lost from the start!
Hop BroThere is a clear core, and if you want easy-drinking staples, NOMCRAFT LAGER, NOMCRAFT IPA, and JUSO XPA are the perfect starting point.
MugiWhat's XPA? The jargon just got intense all of a sudden, Hop bro! Is it different from IPA?
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it has a stronger hop character, but it's often a bit lighter and brisker than IPA. So it aims for lots of aroma while still going down smoothly.
MugiOhh! So something like THE BEAST sounds wild just from the name? It sounds like a 10% monster to me!
Hop BroThat instinct is pretty much right. For a full-bodied pour, they've got everything from Triple Hazy IPA to Imperial Gose, Imperial Brown Ale, and Weizen Doppelbock, so you can change up your approach depending on your mood that day.
MugiAnd there's even sour and nitro stout! It's such a traffic jam of flavors that I can't even pick a route anymore.
Hop BroThat's part of Nomcraft's appeal, and the breadth of its collaborations is another highlight. Brew Beast, Merry Sanno Sauvage, Kyoto Beer Lab, openair, and more all show up right on the taps.
MugiPlus, the cherry blossoms are at their peak and they have cans ready too. That's perfect for a drink on the way home from hanami; the temptation is just too strong.
Hop BroWhat's more, April 13 through 19 is 1st Anniversary Week, and a Brew Beast tap takeover is scheduled for April 18. It's the kind of lineup that makes you want to head to Juso and drink in the anniversary energy as well.
MugiUgh, I can't wait anymore! I want to go to Juso right now and work my way through everything from lager to the heavy stuff!
Hop BroThen tonight's plan is to start light and finish with the big hitters. A tasting night like that is definitely going to be a good one.
