Three New Taps at torne_craftbeer in Tenroku, Osaka; Beer and Cheese Pairing Event on April 11
The beer pub torne_craftbeer in Tenroku, Osaka, announced three new taps on March 29. Inkhorn Brewing's "Armadillo #3," Vinohradský pivovar's "Vinohradská 12," and Bighand Bros.Beer's "Hematite nitro ver." were added, and a beer and cheese pairing event is also scheduled for April 11.
Hop BroAt Osaka's Tenroku torne_craftbeer, three new taps went on on March 29. And there is even a beer and cheese event coming up on April 11. The reasons to go drink there are piling up.
MugiWhoa! Three kegs tapped at once? That sounds as busy as a beer pub kitchen! And a cheese event too? That's way too luxurious!
Hop BroThe highlights this time are Inkhorn Brewing's Armadillo #3, Vinohradský pivovar's Vinohradská 12, and Bighand Bros.Beer's Hematite nitro ver. The range in the lineup is what makes it fun.
MugiWow, the names alone already pack in so much information! Vinohradská 12 sounds like a spell or something.
Hop BroThis is a Czech-style pilsner, and because it's unpasteurized and unfiltered, it keeps the outline of the malt even within its light body. The hop's herbal character and pleasant bitterness come together cleanly.
MugiI see, but unfiltered sounds kind of rough! So it's not hard to drink, but instead the flavor stays in the beer?
Hop BroExactly, that's what makes it interesting. And Armadillo #3 is an IPA-style beer with Mosaic-derived berry and citrus notes, plus resinous pine and a solid bitterness, so there's a lot going on in the aroma.
MugiBerry, citrus, and pine? That's a full-on aroma overload! It sounds like a little sip would send me straight into a forest!
Hop BroAnd Hematite nitro ver. is a Northern English-style Brown Ale where the creamy character unique to nitro takes center stage. The foam is fine and the mouthfeel is soft, so it's much gentler than it looks.
MugiNitro sounds like a science lab term, but it makes creamy foam? Then it should be easy for brown ale beginners to get into!
Hop BroWhat's nice is that the other beers on tap are also moving back toward a more classic lineup. There's talk of wanting to add a few more lagers, and the arrangement is starting to feel more like torne, with a solid backbone.
MugiI like that. At the end, I want to pair everything with cheese and really compare beer and cheese carefully! My head is already ringing with the sound of glasses tonight!
New Taps on March 29
At torne_craftbeer in Sugaecho, Kita Ward, Osaka City, a problem during the previous night's tapping left it unfinished, so the day's new taps were switched to three kegs. Added were Inkhorn Brewing's "Armadillo #3," Vinohradský pivovar's "Vinohradská 12," and Bighand Bros.Beer's "Hematite nitro ver."
"Armadillo #3" is an IPA-style beer with berry and citrus aromas from Mosaic, layered with resinous pine notes and a firm bitterness. "Vinohradská 12" is an unpasteurized, unfiltered Czech-style pilsner, characterized by a light body balanced with hoppy herbal notes and a pleasant bitterness. "Hematite nitro ver." is introduced as a Northern English-style Brown Ale whose creamy character, unique to nitro, stands out.
