CRAFT BEER BASE BUD's 10-Tap Lineup for 4/24 Brings Together Distinctive Old and New Beers
On April 24, CRAFT BEER BASE BUD unveiled its latest 10-tap lineup. From a collaboration between CRAFT BEER BASE and Matt Brynildson to Hinterland's barrel-aged eisbock and a newly arrived DDH Hazy IPA, Umeda is getting a wide range of flavors.
Hop BroThe Umeda CRAFT BEER BASE BUD has unveiled its 10 taps for 4/24. It's a really fun lineup for after work, right in the basement second floor of Osaka Station First Building.
MugiWhoa, 10 taps!? I'm already lost just hearing that. I have no idea where to even start!
Hop BroStart with CRAFT BEER BASE x Matt Brynildson's Gentle Lion. It's a Modern American Pale Ale, so it's aromatic and bright, but it goes down super smoothly.
MugiHuh! But what exactly makes a Modern American Pale Ale "modern"? It suddenly sounds way cooler!
Hop BroCompared with older styles, the hop expression feels more current, with citrus and tropical notes coming forward more easily. And today's lineup also has a Hazy Anise Ale and a Schwarzbier, so the range of styles is really wide.
MugiWhat is that! A Hazy Anise Ale sounds like spices hiding in a misty haze. Just the name alone makes me want to try it!
Hop BroThat instinct is right. Hinterland's barrel-aged eisbock is another one to watch, with maple-driven aromas layered with vanilla and caramel-like notes.
MugiWow, just hearing maple aromas makes me happy...! I love that it sounds sweet, yet it's being featured in a lager festival!
Hop BroExactly. And there's also 8bit x Bottle Logic's DDH Hazy IPA, Cerebral's West Coast IPA, Harland's Japanese Lager, and Wild East's Czech Style Pale Lager. The strength of this day is that you can compare everything from IPAs to lagers all at once.
MugiThen it seems best to start with a light lager and finish with an IPA! Once you think about the tasting flow, I just want to head to Umeda right now!
