The beer pub CRAFT BEER BASE BUD in Umeda, Osaka, has released its tap list for Friday, April 17. Ten beers are lined up, ranging from American IPA to German-style lagers, with business hours of 16:00-22:30 and beer last call at 22:00.
Hop BroThe tap list for Friday, April 17 is out at Osaka-Umeda's CRAFT BEER BASE BUD. With 10 taps, the spread from American IPA to German-style lagers feels great.
MugiWhat? 10 taps? That's really how many are on? And IPA and lager already make my head feel a little floaty just from the names!
Hop BroFirst, it's on B2 of the Osaka Ekimae Dai-1 Building, and the hours are 16:00-22:30, with beer last call at 22:00. It's the kind of place where you go in thinking you'll have just one after work, and before you know it you've had three.
MugiOh, that already sounds dangerous... But what exactly makes an American IPA "American"?
Hop BroIt's a style where hop aroma takes center stage, and citrusy or piney notes tend to stand out. In this lineup, beers like Gentle Lion and UNION JACK make it fun to compare the intensity of the aromas.
MugiI see... but what is Schwarz!? It suddenly sounds like some kind of German black spell!
Hop BroSchwarz refers to the dark-beer family, and even though it looks deep in color, it often goes down fairly smoothly. This time there's also HarvestMoon / Schwarz, so it's a great pick for checking out the toasty character of the malt.
MugiWow! Then are Maple Bock and My Bock the dark, full-bodied kind too? Just reading the names is making my stomach growl!
Hop BroBock tends to show a rich malt depth, and when maple notes are added, a little sweetness comes through too. What's more, as the two new arrivals, Hinterland / Maple Bock and Fremont / GOLDEN PILSNER are especially exciting.
MugiThe collaborations are interesting too! Something like Mixed Culture or Merlot grape skins makes it feel like an event before you even drink it!
Hop BroExactly. It's the contrast that makes it interesting: a playful beer like Live By The Sun & Moon alongside a classic like GOLDEN PILSNER on the same day. If you compare them while watching how the beers are pouring that day in Umeda, the satisfaction should be pretty high.
MugiAlright, this makes me want to dedicate the whole day of April 17 to beer! First one, no, second one... if I go with you, hop bro, there's no way we'll stop!
Hop BroWe won't stop. Once you're facing that wide tap range, beer is really the only option for today.
At the beer pub CRAFT BEER BASE BUD in Umeda, Osaka, the tap list for Friday, April 17 has been announced. The shop is located on B2 of the Osaka Ekimae Dai-1 Building, with business hours from 16:00 to 22:30 and beer last call at 22:00.
The lineup for the day spans 10 taps. With `Gentle Lion`, `vera`, `Schwarz`, `Album`, `Maple Bock`, `UNION JACK`, `One Louder`, `GOLDEN PILSNER`, `Live By The Sun & Moon`, and `My Bock`, it offers a wide range of styles. From hop-forward beers like American pale ales and IPAs to Schwarzbier, Alt, Bock, and Pilsner, the appeal of comparing different beers side by side is clearly on display.
Of particular note are the collaboration beers, such as `CRAFT BEER BASE × Matt Brynildson / Gentle Lion` and `Finback × Brasserie Lapisse / Live By The Sun & Moon`. The former is a modern American pale ale, while the latter is a mixed-culture table beer made with Merlot grape skins, and seeing them on the same day gives a sense of the shop's breadth. In addition, `Hinterland / Maple Bock` and `Fremont / GOLDEN PILSNER` are being introduced as new arrivals, making it appealing to sample both staples and newcomers at once.
Adding in `HarvestMoon / Schwarz`, `Swanlakebeer, HEIWA CRAFT, Kamiyashiro, KaruizawaQ / Album`, `Firestone Walker / UNION JACK`, `Trademark / One Louder`, and `Baeren Brewery / My Bock`, the range is broad enough to enjoy everything from crisp, easy-drinking beers to malty, full-bodied ones all in one place. It looks like a good day to drink in Umeda while checking the condition of the taps for that day.
