14 New Taps at Bakushuya Pogojiro, Featuring Minoh Beer and Oni Densetsu
Bakushuya Pogojiro, a beer pub in Andoji-cho, Osaka, has released today’s tap list, including new openings. With a wide-ranging lineup featuring Minoh Beer’s "Nice Bitter" along with Oni Densetsu, Shiga Kogen Beer, WEST COAST BREWING, and more, it’s built for easy drinking even on a rainy day.
Hop BroThe 14 new taps at Bakushuya Pogojiro in Andoji-cho, Osaka are really interesting today. First up is Minoh Beer’s "Nice Bitter," with just the right balance in the tug-of-war between hops and malt.
MugiWait, it’s easy to drink even though it’s a bitter? It looks like it’s for “people who like bitterness only,” but it’s surprisingly gentle!
Hop BroExactly. Even with a bitter, what matters is the balance between hops and malt. It’s more of a slow, lingering flavor than a hard hit. For a rainy day when you want to sip lazily, it’s actually a great fit.
MugiOhh! Then I’m curious about Oni Densetsu’s "Shishi-gami Oni IPA" and "Kinki Pale Ale Krush Single Ver." too! The names already sound wild!
Hop BroThat’s the appeal. Oni Densetsu has a strong personality, and when you’ve got hop-forward beers like Shiga Kogen Beer’s "SNOW MONKEY IPA" and GROSS’s "SATURATION SIMCOE" lined up, the energy shoots up fast.
MugiWait, wait, what does "Krush single ver." mean!? That’s not about whipping cream, right!?
Hop BroNope, it means they’re limiting the hop variety used to just Krush. With a single-hop beer, it’s easy to pick out the citrus or tropical character of that variety, which makes tasting comparisons fun.
MugiI see! And it’s great that Minoh Beer is joining in with multiple labels. "Saru Yama Shika O," "HONEY SAISON," and even "Session Black IPA"? It’s suddenly a Minoh festival!
Hop BroOn top of that, there’s WEST COAST BREWING’s "BEATSSEEKER," Swan Lake Beer’s "Amber Swan Ale," and Nara Brewing’s "LIGHTHOUSEI nitro ver.," so the range stretches from IPA to saison, amber, and nitro styles. And since there’s also the weekday-only "Pogojiro Set," it’s perfect for a light drink with a snack.
MugiAnd they even announce "Tori Jiro" at the end, so you can go for both beer and food! Just reading this is making me thirsty, and now I want to start with the Nice Bitter today!
Tap List with 14 New Openings
Bakushuya Pogojiro, a beer pub in Andoji-cho, Osaka, has released today’s tap list. In its post, "Nice Bitter / Minoh Beer" was introduced as a new tap, described as a well-balanced beer in which neither the hops nor the malt dominates too strongly. Anchored by an easygoing bitter ale, the lineup looks like one that’s easy to keep sipping even on a rainy day.
The taps for the day include Oni Densetsu’s "Shishi-gami Oni IPA" and "Kinki Pale Ale Krush Single Ver.", Shiga Kogen Beer’s "SNOW MONKEY IPA", GROSS’s "SATURATION SIMCOE", Minoh Beer’s "Saru Yama Shika O", "HONEY SAISON", and "Session Black IPA", WEST COAST BREWING’s "BEATSSEEKER", Swan Lake Beer’s "Amber Swan Ale", Beppu Brewery’s "YOU WAKU MOSAIC", Trademark Brewing’s "CODEBREAKER", Brasserie Knot’s "HARBOR", and Nara Brewing’s "LIGHTHOUSEI nitro ver.". With several Minoh Beer selections mixed in alongside breweries from Japan and abroad, the lineup seems broad enough to compare light IPAs, saisons, bitters, and nitro styles all in one go.
The shop also offers a weekday-only "Pogojiro Set," making it convenient when you want to enjoy craft beer and snacks without lingering. In addition, the event "Tori Jiro," centered on chicken dishes, is scheduled for Sunday, April 26. Not just a place for beer, but also one that can handle dim sum, Chinese-style dishes, and noodles, this is the kind of spot worth checking every time the taps change.
