Nomcraft Juso Taproom to Operate with 13 Beers on March 25
Nomcraft Juso Taproom (Juso, Osaka) has released its tap list for March 25. From a standard lager to a triple hazy IPA, imperial gose, and a nitro stout, the lineup covers a wide range, and also includes a collaboration beer and a one-keg offering from an out-of-prefecture brewery.
Hop BroThe March 25 tap list at Nomcraft Juso Taproom is pretty aggressive, with 13 beers flowing out of 15 taps. From the classics to the curveballs, today's lineup is a paradise for anyone trying to decide what to drink.
MugiWait, 13 kinds!? What even is a paradise of indecision? That's the kind of problem that's annoying and delightful at the same time.
Hop BroFirst you've got the backbone with beers like `NOMCRAFT LAGER` and `NOMCRAFT IPA`, plus `JUSO XPA`, so you can really compare the differences in drinking character.
MugiWhoa. But things like `Triple Hazy IPA` and `Double IPA` sound like they'd get you drunk just from the names... Are high-ABV beers really that strong?
Hop BroThey are. `THE BEAST` is 10%, and `DOUBLE NOMCRAFT IPA` is 8.5%. But they're not just strong; they also pack layered hop depth and a sweet body, so they really have some heft.
MugiWhat is that, hop depth like muscle? And `VAULT BREAKER` has pineapple and coconut too, so it's basically a tropical dessert.
Hop BroExactly. That's an `Imperial Gose`, built on a base of salt and acidity with fruit character layered on top. There's also `MOONBOW SHEEP`, with coriander seed and grape sansho pepper, so the aromatic curveballs are doing their job.
MugiGrape sansho!? Hold on, pepper in beer is cheating, isn't it? So this is a tingly beer?
Hop BroYeah, it's about playing with an aroma that leaves a little tingle on the tongue. And with `IRISH STOUT -Nitro ver.` and `WEIZEN DOPPELBOCK` in the mix too, it really shows how this isn't hop-obsessed, which is very Juso.
MugiNice, and they even have `fruitition` from openair Brewing in Hyogo, right? If I can compare a maker's current snapshot, then I have no choice but to go today!
Hop BroYeah, and the atmosphere is only going to build from anniversary week toward the main event on April 18, so it's the perfect time to get ahead of the spring milestone with a glass.
MugiIt's decided! I'll start with a lager to get a feel for things, and finish with something heavy. Let's raise a glass tonight!
Nomcraft Juso Taproom posted its tap information for Wednesday, March 25, 2026, in line with the day's business. Along with thanking guests for coming to the weekend taco event, it also announced guidance ahead of April's anniversary month. The post explicitly says "anniversary week -> main festival on April 18," showing the shop's energy building toward the spring milestone.
On this day, 13 beers are being served out of 15 taps (2 taps are on hold). The core lineup, of course, comes from Nomcraft Brewing, with standards that differ in drinking character such as `NOMCRAFT LAGER` (4.5%), `NOMCRAFT IPA` (6.5%), and `JUSO XPA` (5.5%). There is also a selection of higher-ABV, hop-forward beers such as `THE BEAST` (Triple Hazy IPA / 10.0%) and `DOUBLE NOMCRAFT IPA` (8.5%).
Among the more distinctive beers, `MOONBOW SHEEP`, made with coriander seed and grape sansho pepper, and `VAULT BREAKER` (Imperial Gose / 7.5%), layered with pineapple, coconut, vanilla, and lime, stand out. There is also the malty `HABANO NOIR` (Imperial Brown Ale / 10.0%) and the brisk `POP CINEMA` (Hazy Pale Ale / 5.0%), making it an easy lineup for side-by-side comparison even within the pale ale to IPA range.
In addition, `IRISH STOUT -Nitro ver.`, `WEIZEN`, and `WEIZEN DOPPELBOCK` are all on offer, which keeps the focus from leaning too heavily toward hops, very much in the spirit of Juso Taproom. The guest slot features `fruitition` (Hazy Pale Ale / 5.5%) from openair Brewing in Hyogo. This is a tap list that lets you experience a brewpub's current snapshot of the maker, one day at a time.
