Hop BroAt CRAFT BEER BASE BUD in Umeda, the Spring Lager Festival starts on April 18. The star of the first week is Baeren Brewery x HIGHBURY's "Onmenbroi!!", and they are coming out strong right from the start.
MugiWhat, heavy right away!? Onmenbroi!! already sounds intense, and for a lager festival, is it really okay to be that rich and heavy!?
Hop BroMore than okay, it's interesting. This is a rauch doppelbock, and it uses 65% rauch malt, giving it a full-bodied smoky malt aroma and plenty of depth.
Mugi65% rauch malt? What is that!? Is smoked malt like the beer got smoked or something?
Hop BroClose, but it's more of a craft process. The malt is dried over smoke, so that smoky, cured aroma gets into the flavor. And the hops are 100% German, which gives it a classic taste that is sturdy but well structured.
MugiWhoa! And 100% German sounds so serious and cool! But since it's a lager festival, it won't just be heavy beer the whole time, right?
Hop BroThat's the good part. They say they'll also have crisp, sharp beers, so there will be a wide range, from a dense glass to a clean, easy-drinking lager. It's like starting with a curveball and then settling things down afterward.
MugiDon't call it a curveball like it's baseball! But hearing about a wide range of drinking experiences makes me want to compare them all.
Hop BroAnd it's served on LUKR NostalgieTAP too. When it's poured at the kind of close-up distance only a beer pub can offer, the aroma and the foam really pop, and being able to stop by casually after work in underground Umeda is a big plus.
MugiA place in Basement Level 2 serving something this serious is amazing! I really want to go check out the depth of lager at the gateway to spring!
Hop BroThen let's go. Start with "Onmenbroi!!" for something substantial, and finish with a clean lager. This is already a story from the very first glass.
MugiYeah, yeah, now I have a completely valid reason to go drink! Baeren Brewery x HIGHBURY's beer sounds so interesting, and the Spring Lager Festival definitely sounds like a lot of fun.
The Spring Lager Project Gets Underway
At the beer pub CRAFT BEER BASE BUD, located on Basement Floor 2 of Osaka Station Front Building No. 1, the "Spring Lager Festival!!" begins on April 18. The featured beer for the first week is "Onmenbroi!!", a collaboration between Baeren Brewery x HIGHBURY.
A Big Romantic Dose of Rauch Doppelbock
This beer is designed as a rauch doppelbock. It uses rauch malt for 65% of the grist, and all of the hops are German, giving it a sturdy, classic framework. It is also brewed with a traditional coolship that chills the wort using cold outdoor air, making it especially notable as a beer made with equipment that still exists and is in operation at Baeren Brewery.
Dense from the First Glass, But the Options Are Wide
The shop is placing a particularly distinctive beer at the start of this lager festival, while also saying it will offer "crisp, sharp, picture-book beer" as well. From a deeply smoky, malty glass to a clean-drinking lager, it should be a chance to enjoy a wide range of styles.
Service will be offered with LUKR NostalgieTAP. Located close to Umeda's underground shopping area, the shop is easy to drop into after work or while out shopping, making it a place beer lovers following seasonal projects will want to keep an eye on. At the gateway to spring, this is the place to go and check the depth of lager.
