Hop BroToday’s topic is YELLOW APE CRAFT in Osaka’s Kitahama, and the March 18 tap update is pretty hot.
MugiWhoa, an update means new stuff came in!? Just hearing there are 7 new taps gets me excited!
Hop BroExactly. YELLOW APE CRAFT usually has around 20 taps going, and today the strong point is that the lineup spans from lager to strong ale.
MugiWhat? The article’s two liquids added at once sounds like a science experiment!
Hop BroDon’t worry. It just means they hooked up Field Ales Brewery’s "Pint" and "THE B" at the same time, making the setup easy for side-by-side tasting.
MugiOhh! So beginners can enjoy it too? I want to start with something fruity like the Wakamatsu Mikan Weizen!
Hop BroThat’s a good way in. Mojiko Retro Beer’s one has a nice fruitiness, and Minami Shinshu Beer’s "Cask Red" is a higher-ABV red beer that really works as a closer.
MugiWhat a range! And they still have Sansho W-IPA and Peanut Butter Milk Stout, so it’s funny that the strong-characters crew is still on deck!
Hop BroIf you want light, go with Heartland; if aroma matters, IPA; if you want richness, a black beer. The beauty of this place is how easily you can build around your mood.
MugiAnd in the Kitahama-Yodoyabashi area, in a house-style building, I can already picture an after-work night of hopping from tap to tap...
Hop BroYou can use it for standing or table seating, and today my head is already full of the aroma of the first pour.
MugiIt’s settled! I’ll take the mikan weizen, you take the Field Ales tasting flight, and tonight’s toast is a lock!
