Nomcraft Juso Taproom Announces 15 Taps, Including BrewBeast, During Anniversary Week
The brewpub Nomcraft Juso Taproom in Osaka unveiled its tap list for April 16. Inside the venue during anniversary week, guests can enjoy everything from house brews and guest beers from BrewBeast to canned-beer night.
Hop BroThe brewpub Nomcraft Juso Taproom in Osaka's Juso district has put out its tap list for April 16. It's right in the middle of anniversary week, and what's exciting is that it has house brews, guest beers, and even canned-beer night all rolled into one.
MugiWhat! Right in the middle of anniversary week? That's already enough to make me want to go drink there. And canned-beer night? Is that a day for dancing with cans?
Hop BroNot dancing, but it's a night where you can enjoy canned beer inside the venue. The lineup has 15 taps in total, and first of all, it's reassuring to see house staples like `NOMCRAFT LAGER` and `NOMCRAFT IPA` anchoring the list.
MugiOhhh! I get lager and IPA, but `JUSO XPA` and `KNIGHT FISHERMAN` sound way too distinctive. I feel like I could get drunk just from the names.
Hop Bro`XPA` is generally a bit lighter and more upbeat than an IPA, and `DOUBLE NOMCRAFT IPA` tends to come with even more hop intensity, just like the name says. In other words, it's a lineup that hits you with a broad range from lager to double IPA.
MugiHits you with a broad range? What is that! But I'm curious! And `IRISH STOUT -Nitro ver.` - is nitro some kind of special move? Is it the one with amazing black-beer foam?
Hop BroGood catch. Nitro uses nitrogen gas to make the foam finer and the mouthfeel smoother. And this one is a collaboration with Kyoto Beer Lab, plus there's also `WHOLE NEW WORLD` with `MAHOWBREW`, so it's fun that the brewery's connections show through clearly.
MugiI like that there are so many collaborations! Hearing that makes me think of brewery friendships, which is kind of nice. Having `NOMCRAFT`'s house beers plus the richness of guest beers from outside on top is pretty luxurious, isn't it?
Hop BroExactly. The guest lineup is packed with BrewBeast selections like `BLAZING RABBIT`, `IMPACT`, `COLD WAVE`, `REINDEER`, and `ECLIPSE`, and the style differences are big, from DDH Juicy DIPA to Fruit Stout and Hazy IPA.
MugiDDH and Fruit Stout and all those words are lined up like snacks! I can already feel myself falling into the rabbit hole of comparison tasting, and with this in the Juso Station area, there's no doubt I'm making a stop there.
Hop BroExactly. You get the depth you'd expect from a brewpub directly attached to a brewery, plus the special feel of anniversary week, so today is definitely one to keep an eye on the tap changes. As for me, I'd start with the lager for my first glass.
MugiThen I'll start with the IPA and finish with the dark one at the end! I'm already in the mood to drink right now, so now I have a reason to head to Juso~.
