Hop BroFructus Sakaba in Utsubohonmachi just posted a really hot March 17 tap update. Some kegs are about to kick, and new taps are expected to open every day!
MugiWhoa! That's basically an all-change frenzy! It's the kind of place where you can enjoy yourself whether you go today or tomorrow!
Hop BroThe lineup is great too. Nara Brewing's BEER AFTER SAUNA is a Fruit Gose, BELCHING BEAVER's Peanut Butter Milk Stout, YOU WAKU MOSAIC is a Single Session IPA, and UNDERWATER is a sake yeast beer at 11%.
MugiWow! The range from light to heavy in a single day is so wide that we almost need a strategy meeting!
Hop BroAnd BEER AFTER SAUNA is in the gose style, so the lactic fermentation acidity works gently and makes it easy to pair with food.
MugiWhat is that! What even is lactic fermentation? Did science class just start out of nowhere!?
Hop BroBasically, it's a refreshing sourness kind of like yogurt. That's why it goes with the Mao-style spicy omurice fried rice. It's like acidity that washes the spices away!
MugiOhhh! Then what's the right way to enjoy UNDERWATER's 11% punch?
Hop BroIt's a collaboration between Nara Brewing and Yucho Shuzo, and it's the kind that has fruity ester aromas from the sake yeast. It's insanely interesting if you sip it slowly.
MugiThere it is again! What are ester aromas? The name alone sounds powerful!
Hop BroThey're bright, fruity aromas. So if you start with something like YOU WAKU MOSAIC, a session IPA, and finish with UNDERWATER, the flow of the tasting is amazing.
MugiIt's settled! Let's go do some field testing for our tonight's drink plan at Fructus Sakaba!
On March 17, Fructus Sakaba in Utsubohonmachi, Nishi Ward, Osaka City, revealed that day's craft beer lineup in a post. The update says that there are kegs that are close to kicking, and that new taps are likely to come on both tomorrow and the day after, making this a good time to enjoy beers before they run out and get replaced.
The bar is a neighborhood beer pub where you can take your time drinking with a meal. On weekdays it tends to be relatively calm, and its easygoing atmosphere makes it a good place for a single drink or two. That day, the food menu featured omurice fried rice with Mao-style spice and spinach chicken curry. It suggests an enjoyable pairing of spicy dishes with beers that have acidity, roast character, or fermentation-derived individuality.
Beers announced for the day
- BEER AFTER SAUNA (Nara Brewing): Fruit Gose / 4.0%
- Peanut Butter Milk Stout (BELCHING BEAVER BREWERY): Milk Stout / 5.3%
- YOU WAKU MOSAIC (BEPPU BREWERY × umbrella RiB × Ladybirds Bottle Shop Tsukiji): Single Session IPA / 4.5%
- UNDERWATER (Nara Brewing × Yucho Shuzo): Sake Yeast Beer / 11%
From a light gose, to a sweet, toasty stout, to a session IPA, and even a distinctive beer made with sake yeast, the point here is the breadth of styles you can compare in a single day. From a drink after work to several drinks alongside a meal, this is a tap lineup that is easy to build around.
