Two New Kegs Tapped at torne_craftbeer in Tenroku, Osaka; Pairing Event on April 11
The beer pub torne_craftbeer in Tenroku, Osaka announced in a April 9 post that it had tapped two new kegs and updated its food menu. In addition to spring-style Dorilocos, a beer and cheese pairing event is also planned for April 11.
Hop BroThe Osaka Tenroku spot torne_craftbeer put out two new keg taps on April 9. And it is even moving on the spring food side too, so they are coming in pretty strong.
MugiWait, just the phrase two new keg taps is enough to get me hyped, and the food is changing too!? My stomach and my throat are both making noise right now!
Hop BroThe stars this time are Hop Chopper from Vatten Brewing + riip Beer Co. and Dollar Dollar Bill Yal-3 nitro ver. from Wu-Chaw-Teng Brew. The contrast is great: the former is a West Coast IPA, while the latter is a nitro Best Bitter.
MugiWhoa, I've heard of a West Coast IPA, but what even is a Best Bitter? Is being bitter the whole point? And doesn't nitro mean extra carbonation?
Hop BroLet me sort that out a bit. A Best Bitter is a British-pub-style beer with gentle bitterness, and nitro means it is poured with nitrogen, which gives it a smoother mouthfeel. So the latter is not "super aggressively bitter" so much as an easy-drinking style.
MugiOhhh! So it's the kind of thing that goes down smoothly. And the first one smells like orange and lemon? Just imagining it is delicious!
Hop BroExactly. The combination of Mosaic, Simcoe, and Citra gives Hop Chopper a sharply defined aroma, which is part of its appeal. The current taps also include Borrowed Thyme, Mellow Lemon, and even Lapsang Souchong Tea Lambiek, so the lineup is delightfully chaotic.
MugiWhat, it's a drink-and-compare paradise! Jumping from IPA to lambic sounds like a beer amusement park, which is basically perfect!
Hop BroThe food has been redesigned with spring in mind too, and I like that the popular Dorilocos has been made easier to customize with toppings. There is even a suggestion to pair it with garlic shrimp, so the moment it lands next to the beer, it is basically game over.
MugiAnd there is even a Beer and Cheese Pairing event!? If they are putting something like that on April 11, I have no choice but to go.
Hop BroThe instructor has the title of Advanced Cicerone, so getting to drink while learning is a strong setup. You can also take things out for 200 yen for containers, so this is the kind of flow that makes you want more than just one drink in Tenroku.
MugiYeah, being able to enjoy a complete spring day there is great. If there is beer, cheese, and food, I am completely in the mood to drink now!
The beer pub `torne_craftbeer` in Tenroku, Osaka announced two new keg taps in a post on April 9. The two additions to the taps are `Hop Chopper` (Vatten Brewing + riip Beer Co.) and `Dollar Dollar Bill Yal-3 nitro ver.` (Wu-Chaw-Teng Brew).
`Hop Chopper` is described as a beer with citrus aromas reminiscent of orange and lemon, along with the crispness you would expect from a classic West Coast IPA. Its defining trait is a clearly outlined aroma built from the combination of Mosaic, Simcoe, and Citra, making it a good choice for people who want to fully enjoy hop character. `Dollar Dollar Bill Yal-3 nitro ver.` is a Best Bitter finished on nitro, with a noticeable malt presence. Its mild bitterness, evocative of a classic British pub, and smooth mouthfeel are especially striking.
The post that day also listed the current taps, including `Borrowed Thyme`, `Mellow Lemon`, `Doron`, `1978`, `Hematite nitro ver.`, `Interiority 2025 Coconut`, `Shima the Citrus Kaiju`, `Vinohradská 12`, and `Lapsang Souchong Tea Lambiek`, creating a lineup that lets visitors compare a wide range of domestic and international styles. In the middle of Osaka, being able to sample everything from hop-forward IPAs to bitters and lambics is part of the appeal.
The food menu has also been revised for spring. The popular Dorilocos has been reworked so it is easier to tailor with toppings, making it more customizable to individual taste. There is also a suggestion to pair it with garlic shrimp, allowing it to lean toward a more seafood-oriented dish. Takeout is available for nearby carryout as well, with containers costing 200 yen, which adds to its convenience.
In addition, a "Beer and Cheese Pairing - Beer and Cheese Pairing -" event is scheduled for April 11. The session will be taught by an instructor who holds the title of Advanced Cicerone, and is being presented as a hands-on way to enjoy the compatibility of beer and cheese. It looks set to be a day in Osaka's Tenroku where rotating draft beers, spring-themed food, and an educational event can all be enjoyed at once.
