Kita-Horie's CraftBeerWorks KAMIKAZE, 15 taps from staples to domestic IPAs
Osaka's Kita-Horie beer pub CraftBeerWorks KAMIKAZE has released its tap list, updated on April 12. In addition to staples like Pilsner Urquell and Asahi, the lineup includes 15 diverse beers from Minoh Beer, Shiga Kogen Beer, LA Ale Works, and more.
Hop BroOsaka's Kita-Horie CraftBeerWorks KAMIKAZE has rolled out a tap list updated on April 12. Fifteen taps, and it's a pretty fun lineup from classics to distinctive picks.
MugiWhat, 15 beers? If there are that many, I'd probably freeze up trying to choose what to drink first!
Hop BroThe lager lineup is strong to start with. Pilsner Urquell, Asahi Super Dry, and Asahi Maruef Black Draft are all there, which gives you that reassuring 'first pint' feel.
MugiWhoa, they even have a coffee lager in there?! Was lager always that free-spirited?
Hop BroExactly. Cold Brew Coffee Lager is a curveball, but it's interesting. Lager's defining trait is its crispness, so even when you add roasted coffee notes, it doesn't get too heavy to drink.
MugiWhat is that, grisette? That sounds almost like a spell, and my head is getting all floaty...
Hop BroThink of a grisette as a light farmhouse-style ale. Farmhouse Grisette and Minoh Beer's Saruyama shikao are on tap, and the nice thing is that they go down easily but still have plenty of flavor.
MugiAnd they even have a hojicha ale?! Is it beer or tea? My brain is happily confused!
Hop BroNAMACHAん Brewing's Nama-chan's Hojicha Ale is the kind that brings a soft wave of Japanese tea aroma. And with two Minoh Beer selections alongside it, the lineup balances gentleness with substance.
MugiSo the real stars are the IPA crew, right? I feel like your hop-loving eyes just got ridiculously sparkly, and I don't think that's my imagination.
Hop BroIt's not your imagination. MISH MASH SMaSH, Session Black IPA, Indian Summer Saison, Second, and Blue Vibes 2 are all there, and if you want to enjoy layered hops, today is especially a good day for it.
MugiThen today in Kita-Horie, I want to go after the first pint and then fall into the hop abyss with the IPAs!
Hop BroThat's the way to do it. They're open from 4:00 p.m., and since you can eat while you drink, it becomes one of those nights where the two of us end up saying, 'One more?'
