PEDROLINO in Osaka Taps Numazu Craft’s Margyside ESB
PEDROLINO, a beer pub in Andoji-machi, Osaka, has tapped Numazu Craft’s Margyside ESB. The new 6.0% ESB joins beers from Yokohama Bay Brewing and Repubrew during the holiday period.
Hop BroPEDROLINO in Tanimachi 6-chome, Osaka, has just tapped Numazu Craft’s Merseyside ESB. A beer pub with Italian food makes that especially tempting.
MugiWhoa, ESB sounds super bitter! Does Extra Special Bitter mean my tongue will start buzzing?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. ESB is a British-style ale, and “bitter” here is more about a well-balanced character than sheer harshness.
MugiOoh! So what does Merseyside ESB taste like? Rich roasted malt already sounds very grown-up.
Hop BroRoasted malt is malted grain that has been toasted for deep, nutty flavor. This beer layers tea-like notes with barley-tea-like toastiness. It practically schedules your break for you.
MugiA beer that feels like barley tea? But it’s still 6.0% ABV. One too many and my “break” becomes nap time!
Hop BroIt’s described as relatively mild, so it works for daytime sipping, an aperitif, or alongside food. ESB has a malty depth that makes it a food-friendly beer.
MugiAnd the name comes from Liverpool? Owner-brewer Kataoka is a soccer fan, so it carries Premier League devotion. That’s wonderfully nerdy!
Hop BroThe taps also include Yokohama Bay Brewing’s Bay Pilsner, a 4.7% Bohemian-style pilsner. Its crispness should make a great contrast with the ESB.
MugiDoes “Bohemian” mean it starts singing like Bohemian Rhapsody? I’m still lost on what makes pilsner different!
Hop BroThat would make for an excellent bar night. A Bohemian pilsner is a clean, easy-drinking lager with malt flavor and gentle bitterness—crisp and nicely balanced, not as hop-forward as an IPA.
MugiPlus Repubrew’s “Moon Punishment IPA” is 7.0% ABV! I want a food-and-beer tasting flight: pilsner, ESB, then IPA!
Hop BroPerfect. PEDROLINO plans to open 3–11 p.m. on September 19, 20, 22, and 23, and close on the 21st—confirm before visiting, then toast with a toasty ESB.
MugiDeal! It may hint at barley tea, but it’s definitely beer. Put Italian food in front of me and I want a pint now!
PEDROLINO, a beer pub located in Tanimachi 6-chome, Osaka, has added Numazu Craft’s Margyside ESB to its tap list.
The beer is an ESB, or Extra Special Bitter, with an ABV of 6.0%. PEDROLINO describes it as rich and malt-forward, with roasted malt depth, tea-like flavors, and a familiar roasted character reminiscent of Japanese barley tea. Despite the assertive-sounding name, the beer is relatively mild in bitterness. Its relaxed profile makes it suitable for daytime drinking and aperitif service, while its balanced character also works well with food.
The name Margyside refers to Liverpool, reflecting Numazu Craft owner-brewer Kataoka’s love of football and support for the English Premier League club. The background gives the beer an additional point of interest for football fans.
PEDROLINO’s current draft selection also includes Bay Pilsner from Yokohama Bay Brewing, a 4.7% Bohemian Pilsner, and Tsuki ni Kawatte Oshioki IPA from Repubrew, a 7.0% West Coast IPA. The stock beer selection features Zaerts 419 from Yokohama Bay Brewing, a 4.2% Bohemian Pilsner.
With its Italian cuisine and beer-focused atmosphere, PEDROLINO offers a natural setting for pairing beer with food. The new ESB is an especially approachable choice for a meal, while the pilsner and IPA provide contrasting options for a tasting flight. During the holiday period, the pub is scheduled to open from 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on September 19, 20, 22, and 23, and to close on September 21. Check with the venue before visiting.
