Yebisu and three more taps open at YELLOW APE CRAFT, with two Field Ales Brewery beers also on pour
The beer pub YELLOW APE CRAFT in Kitahama, Osaka, announced its tap list for April 23. Four kegs are now on pour: Yebisu, Daisen G Beer’s American Amber Lager, and Field Ales Brewery’s "Blend Pale" and "Foam me Brown," offering an easy stop after work.
Hop BroToday’s tap list is four kegs opened at YELLOW APE CRAFT in Kitahama. With Yebisu, American Amber Lager, and even two beers from Field Ales Brewery, there’s a very strong reason to stop by after work.
MugiWhoa, an update with four kegs at once? The shop is really going all out. Having Yebisu there gives the whole first glass such a reassuring feeling!
Hop BroExactly. Yebisu has that strong sense of a safe first pour. Add Daisen G Beer’s American Amber Lager, and the malt sweetness and hop outline come through beautifully, which makes the comparison really interesting.
MugiBut American Amber Lager sounds a little difficult just from the name, doesn’t it? Since it’s amber, is it more reddish? Or is it the kind of beer that tastes rich and heavy?
Hop BroIt looks kind of red-copper in color, and the key is the balance between malt and hops. It’s not too heavy, so roasted aroma and drinkability coexist, and you still get to enjoy the crispness of a lager.
MugiOh, I see! Then Field Ales Brewery’s Blend Pale sounds like it would go down even more easily. Just hearing "pale ale" makes me think it’s the kind of beer you can really keep drinking!
Hop BroThat’s right, it’s a beer that really shows off the feel of a light, easy-drinking pale ale. And because Foam me Brown is on the board the same day, it’s nice that you can compare the aroma and malt body side by side.
MugiWait, Foam me Brown already sounds delicious! Brown ale feels like the kind of calm, grown-up flavor I’d be curious to try!
Hop BroExactly. A calm brown ale is appealing because of its roasted character; it leaves an impression without being flashy. And since the shop rotates around 20 taps daily, today’s lineup is definitely worth seeing.
MugiAnd they even have an all-you-can-drink course? That’s seriously strong. Going with four people and lingering for a while would probably make us ridiculously happy!
Hop BroThe announcement even points ahead to the May 23 and 24 event appearance, so the shop feels like it’s already ramping up for event season. I’m at the point where I can’t stop wanting a drink in Kitahama tonight, or maybe two.
MugiI’m completely in the mood to drink now! It’s perfect for an after-work beer, and it’s the kind of place where you’d want to start with Yebisu and keep going through everything in order!
At YELLOW APE CRAFT in Kitahama, Osaka, the tap list moved on April 23. This time, four kegs opened: Yebisu, American Amber Lager / Daisen G Beer, Blend Pale / Field Ales Brewery, and Foam me Brown / Field Ales Brewery. The lineup lets you follow beers in very different directions all at once, from lager and amber to pale and brown.
Highlights of the day
- The familiar reliability of Yebisu, and the reassurance of an easy first pour
- The balance of malt richness and hop character in American Amber Lager / Daisen G Beer
- The light, airy pale ale feel of Blend Pale / Field Ales Brewery
- The calm outline of Foam me Brown / Field Ales Brewery and its brown ale character
The two Field Ales Brewery beers were especially notable: in the caption, they were introduced as a simultaneous opening for "Wakai-san Beer Part 2," making it easy to compare the pale ale and brown ale side by side. Being able to check the difference in aroma and malt depth one after another in the same bar is a welcome treat for craft beer fans.
