MugiWow! The first tap service of the year already sounds special! And two new releases? That's enough to make me excited all by itself!
Hop BroThe first one is Nose White with sansho and yuzu. It sounds like they’re layering Japanese aromas onto a white ale style, so I think it’ll have a crisp freshness with a sharp edge.
MugiWhat is that! White ale style? So is it a white beer? That name suddenly sounds like a science experiment!
Hop BroBasically, it's a light, easy-drinking style that uses wheat. Add the numbing aroma of sansho and the citrus of yuzu, and when you drink it, it should feel like 'Japanese, but still definitely beer.'
MugiOhhh! Then the other one is HAZY IPA with sake lees, right? Sake lees are the leftover bits after pressing sake, right? Putting that into beer sounds really interesting!
Hop BroExactly. When it carries the character of sake lees, it can add a softly sweet aroma and more depth. Combined with the hazy body of a Hazy IPA, it could make for a smooth, almost luscious drink, and that's what makes it so interesting.
MugiWait, a smooth, luscious drink? That sounds like dessert! But Hazy IPA also has a bitter image, so which is it supposed to be?
Hop BroThat's the fun part of comparing them: it becomes a session to check the difference in aroma and aftertaste. One should have the snap of sansho and yuzu, while the other should broaden out with sake lees, so even though they're both new releases, their directions should be quite different.
MugiAnd the venue is only about a 5-minute walk from JR Settsu-Tonda Station, so it's easy to get to! If you can enjoy it quickly as standing room only, it makes you want to drop by on a whim!
Hop BroThe indoor space is limited, so it will be standing-room only, but that feels very brewery-like in a good way. And since you can bring your own snacks, you can level up the experience by bringing whatever nibbles you like.
MugiAll right, I'm bringing something that goes well with yuzu! And Hop-nii, you need to watch out for talking too much, while I need to watch out for drinking too much. Two spring new releases like this make me want to go and raise a glass!
Beer Base Takatsuki in Takatsuki, Osaka, will hold its first tap service of the year on Saturday, April 11, 2026, from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. The venue is the shop at 3-9 Tomitaokacho, Takatsuki City, about a 5-minute walk from JR Settsu-Tonda Station and about an 8-minute walk from Hankyu Tonda Station. Space inside is limited, so the event will be handled as standing-room only.
At this tap service, guests can enjoy two newly brewed beers. One is "Nose White," made with sansho and yuzu. The other is "HAZY IPA," brewed with sake lees. Both are structured so that the personality of the brewing ingredients comes through in the name, and it looks like a fun chance to compare differences in aroma and aftertaste.
Beer Base Takatsuki gives the impression of valuing an easygoing atmosphere where even small groups can stop by, as a brewery rooted in the local Takatsuki area. In this announcement as well, the event is open as a casual place to enjoy draft beer, with the style of "please bring your own snacks or other food if needed." It is not a flashy event, but it is a straightforward brewery-style opportunity to taste the maker's new releases on the spot.
At the start of spring, a white ale made with Japanese ingredients and a Hazy IPA with character from sake lees. As the season begins to broaden beer's range of expressions, this is an announcement that makes you want to go check out a beer that feels distinctly like Beer Base Takatsuki.
