CRAFT BEER BASE BUD, 10 taps on 3/29 from sake-yeast beers to BA stout
Osaka/Umeda beer pub CRAFT BEER BASE BUD has released its tap list for March 29. The lineup spans everything from a beer that brings out Japanese ingredients and fermentation character to IPA, barrel-aged stout, and dark lager.
Hop BroThe 3/29 tap list in Osaka/Umeda is pretty interesting. CRAFT BEER BASE BUD is lining up everything at once, from sake-style beers to BA stout.
MugiWait, 10 beers total? That's the kind of lineup that makes my brain happy before I even choose!
Hop BroExactly. They've got Gentle Lion, UNION JACK, GOHOBI IPA, BA Marshmallow Drip, and DARK COSMOS, so it's a well-rounded 10-beer lineup. From hop definition to dark styles, the selection has real coherence.
MugiHold on, what's a sake yeast beer? A beer that smells like Japanese sake? What kind of magic is that?
Hop BroThat's the CRAFT BEER BASE BUD style. Beers like Sorachi Kinusetsu BMK3ver., Wakyo AridagawaMikan, Key to The Next Door Setoka Flash, and Orochi Rihachi really bring out Japanese fermentation character. Sake yeast tends to add a soft, fruity aroma, so the flavor expression changes quite a bit.
MugiThat sounds fun! But BA Marshmallow Drip is already pushing it just from the name, right? It feels like a dessert-level stout. Is it sweet or bitter? My stomach is already holding a meeting!
Hop BroAnd since it's a Barrel Aged Imperial Stout, you get the barrel character too, so you can enjoy barrel-aged complexity as well. Vanilla, coconut, peanut butter, coffee, it's packed with information, but it's the kind of beer you want to drink all at once.
MugiAnd it's in the basement level of Osaka Station Front Building No. 1, right? That pop in after work by the station vibe is almost too dangerous!
Hop BroExactly. They have classic IPAs, Japanese ingredients, and dark styles all in one place, so tasting side by side is part of the fun. The nice thing is that you can even debate the order, whether you want to start with hop sharpness or go straight into fermentation character.
MugiI've decided! I'm starting with the Japanese-inspired ones and ending with the stout! Tonight's beer is decided here. Let's go raise a glass already!
