YELLOW APE CRAFT taps five kegs including Yebisu, with MUGICHA Bitter also on tap
The beer pub YELLOW APE CRAFT in Osaka's Imabashi announced on Instagram that it had tapped five kegs. In addition to Yebisu, the lineup includes beers from Shiga Kogen Beer, Minoh Beer, and Falo Brewing, and MUGICHA Bitter is set up so you can compare the regular and real ale versions.
Hop BroAt YELLOW APE CRAFT in Imabashi, Osaka, today there are five kegs tapped. Yebisu, Shiga Kogen Beer, Minoh Beer, and Falo Brewing are all on the board, so the tap list itself feels like a little outing.
MugiWhoa! All at once!? Five kegs is amazing. I'm already dizzy trying to decide what to drink first!
Hop BroThe first thing to note is Minoh Beer’s MUGICHA Bitter. And because both the regular version and the real ale version are available, it's great that you can compare how the same beer changes with the finish.
MugiReal ale? What is that! Does the difference in bitterness actually change the taste, not just the appearance?
Hop BroRoughly speaking, real ale tends to have a softer mouthfeel. The carbonation and service are different, so the aroma opens up differently too, and even the same MUGICHA can have a pretty different expression.
MugiOhh! Then if I taste both, it's one of those where you can tell the difference in aroma. Stuff like this feels like the entrance to the craft beer rabbit hole, and that's fun!
Hop BroAnd Falo Brewing's Falo IPA is a West Coast IPA. Its hop profile is crisp and clear, and if you want to chase citrusy bitterness and a clean finish, this one will really hit the spot.
MugiWhoa, when you say hop profile, it suddenly sounds so professional! But it's weird in a good way that something bitter can sound tasty.
Hop BroOn top of that, Yebisu and Shiga Kogen Beer’s House Lager 2.20 are in the mix too, so there's real range with lager, bitter, and IPA. Being able to choose based on your mood is very YELLOW APE CRAFT.
MugiAnd Golden Week is business as usual, with Sundays and Mondays closed. So it sounds like you can drop in after work for a quick drink!
Hop BroEven better, they’re also doing a Craft Beer Live booth on May 23 and 24, so it's great that you can follow them both in the shop and at events. If you're choosing a beer that fits your mood in Imabashi, Osaka, this place is a very strong option.
MugiI'm already completely in the mood to drink! I want to say the choice for tonight is definitely the MUGICHA Bitter tasting comparison.
Hop BroExactly, today is a day to enjoy comparing. If you start with Yebisu, play around with the bitter, and finish with IPA, it's bound to be a good night.
