Hop BroCRAFT BEER BASE BUD in Umeda has released its 10 taps for April 20. It’s built around lager-style beers, and just looking at the lineup makes your throat twitch.
MugiWhoa, 10 kinds? Does a lager-leaning lineup really make that much of a difference?
Hop BroAbsolutely. This time they’ve got more serious picks like Schwarzbier and Bock, so you can enjoy dark richness and malty sweetness. And with Gentle Lion, Louche, Kunne, and ONMEN BRÄU in there too, they’re really going for it.
MugiSchwarz... what? The world of dark beer is suddenly getting complicated!
Hop BroSchwarzbier is a German-style dark lager, so even though it has roasted, toasty aromas, it drinks cleanly. Altbier and Rauchbock are in the mix too, so what’s interesting is that you can compare different kinds of toastiness.
MugiI see, so it’s dark but not heavy! Then Maple Bock sounds tempting too, and anything marked new!! makes me want to drink it even more.
Hop BroExactly. One point here is how many new!! highlights there are. Kunne, Album, Maple Bock, GOLDEN PILSNER, and ONMEN BRÄU are the kind of beers you want to grab the first time you see them.
MugiBut they’ve also got things like Gentle Lion and One Louder, right? Having hop-scented beers is reassuring, like my taste buds won’t get lost!
Hop BroThat’s what makes the lineup so good. There are aroma-forward beers like West Coast Pale Ale and Louche : Hazy Anise Ale, and Live By The Sun & Moon is a mixed-culture table beer that also goes well with food.
MugiWait, they even think about beer and food? That’s amazing! Since it’s in the basement second floor of Osaka Ekimae First Building, it’s easy to stop by, and I’d want to go right after work.
Hop BroBusiness hours are 16:00-22:30, and beer L.O. is 22:00, so if you’re aiming for a specific beer, earlier is the way to go. Even if the ate-mori platter is off for the event, there’s event food, so let’s go check the taps and have a drink today.
