A pairing event starting at 5:00 p.m. the following day is also being announced.
Hop BroOsaka's Grand Green Osaka is where CRAFT BEER BASE leaf unveiled its March 25 taps. Nine house beers plus five guests makes for a pretty adventurous lineup.
MugiWhoa, 9 house beers + 5 guest beers! With that many options, it's already fun before you even choose!
Hop BroAnd it really shows the shop's character, too. Beers like leaf and LAVENDER & CHAMOMILE lean into aroma play. Sage, lemongrass, lavender - the recipe work is really detailed.
MugiWhat? Layers of aroma? Are you piling too many fancy words onto beer?
Hop BroNot at all. Put simply, it means the aromas come through in several layers when you drink it. When herbal, floral, and citrus notes emerge one after another, the scenery in your mouth changes.
MugiWhoa! It's reassuring that there are classics like BLONDE and PALE ALE, too! But Hop Scheme057 Nectaron sounds like a code name all of a sudden.
Hop BroThat's the fun part. An hop-forward option means the bitterness and aroma are more assertive. If you see a hop name like Nectaron, you start expecting tropical character and juiciness.
MugiThen I want to know about the guests, too! Cold Brew COFFEE LAGER - coffee, but lager? I'm getting confused!
Hop BroThat's a clever move from Yatsugatake Touchdown. Cold Brew COFFEE LAGER layers coffee notes over lager's clean finish. And with Tropical Terps and Ashanti in the mix, it's a lineup that lets you travel across Japan and overseas all at once.
MugiWow, there's even Imperial Red Ale - today is the kind of day where you can go from light to rich and hit everything in between! And that lineup in Osaka? That's not fair!
Hop BroAnd the next day at 5:00 p.m., there's also Watanabe's Pairing Lab. If you hear it's pairing imperial stout with fresh chocolate, you'll want to stop by after work.
MugiI can't take it - I can already picture the first beer through the last one! If I drink at leaf and then go straight to the pairing, I'm definitely going to be happy!
CRAFT BEER BASE leaf, located on the 2nd floor of the North Building at Grand Green Osaka in Umeda, Osaka, has announced its lineup for Wednesday, March 25. Hours are 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. (last orders for both food and drinks at 10:00 p.m.).
The focus for the day is the original lineup, which really shows the shop's character. Beers such as "leaf," made with sage and lemongrass, "LAVENDER & CHAMOMILE," and the herbal "Bouquet Garni" stand out for their emphasis on layered aromas. Alongside classics like "BLONDE," "PALE ALE," and "Red Ale," there are also hop-forward options such as "MIX JUICY 012" and "Hop Scheme057 Nectaron," creating a tap list that ranges from light and easy-drinking to more substantial pours.
Guest taps include "Cold Brew COFFEE LAGER" (Yatsugatake Touchdown), "Tropical Terps" (Belching Beaver), "Imperial Red Ale" (Ise Kadoya Beer), and even "Ashanti" (Brasserie Cantillon). It's a beer-pub-style balance that lets you follow local and overseas selections at the same time.
The post also announces "Watanabe's Pairing Lab," starting at 5:00 p.m. the following day. With a theme of imperial stout and fresh chocolate, it reflects leaf's approach of suggesting not only beer on its own but also the pleasure of tasting it as a pairing. In a location that's easy to stop by on the way home from shopping or work, it's a day where you can build your lineup from the first beer to the last.
