Hop BroAt Craft Beer Market on LUCUA Osaka B2F, two new beers have been tapped. The highlights are VECTOR BREWING's "BiriBiri Nekochop" and Gotemba Kogen Beer's Weizen.
MugiWhoa, BiriBiri Nekochop sounds intense just from the name! Is the cat getting zapped?
Hop BroExactly. It's a commemorative collaboration beer that pays homage to VECTOR's standard "Nekopanchi." It was also brewed to celebrate GRANDLINE BREWING's second anniversary.
MugiI see, so it's an anniversary beer! But is the source of the homage basically a copy?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. It's not just imitation, but a separate work made with respect for the original. It's cat-themed and playful, but the story behind it is part of the appeal of a collaboration.
MugiOhhh! What's different about the other one, the Weizen?
Hop BroWeizen is a German-style beer made with wheat, so it has a soft mouthfeel and is easy to drink. Set alongside the limited-release BiriBiri Nekochop, it makes for fun side-by-side tasting.
MugiThat's suddenly pretty technical! So basically it's the gentleness of wheat that balances out the lively limited beer?
Hop BroExactly. And this place is directly connected to JR Osaka Station, so it's easy to stop by, and the official site lists about 30 kinds of beer. They also have bar food, so it's the kind of place where you end up staying longer than planned.
MugiThat's already dangerously tempting...! If they even have all-you-can-drink plans, then it's officially a detour after work.
Hop BroYep. If you're having a drink in Osaka Umeda, start by lining up the cat and the Weizen and choose based on your mood for the day.
MugiYeah, yeah, my head is already full of beer! I want to toast soon!
