Hop BroCRAFT BEER BASE leaf on the 2nd floor of Grand Green Osaka North Building in Osaka has put out its tap list for May 29. It has 9 house beers and 5 guest beers, and the lineup is even designed with food pairings in mind.
MugiWait, 9 house beers? If one place has that many on tap, I’d probably get overwhelmed trying to decide what to drink first!
Hop BroStart with the citrusy-looking Ikeda Mikan Wit. Then there are the classics, BLONDE and PALE ALE, plus LAVENDER & CHAMOMILE with lavender and chamomile, so the aroma range is really broad.
MugiLavender and chamomile? So it’s a flower beer!? Does that mean it smells like a bath when you drink it?
Hop BroNot really like a bath, more like a beer that shapes its impression through aroma. For example, MIX JUICY 014 and Belgian IPA (new!!) are the kind you enjoy for the balance of hop aroma and bitterness, and they’re fun to drink in a lively group.
MugiA Belgian IPA? What is that, just the words new beer alone make me curious! And when it says new!!, that’s the kind of thing that makes you do a double take inside the shop.
Hop BroThe guest beers are strong too. Brasserie Knot is bringing MOON and FLOWER, Hop Kotan Brewing has Umemi-gachi and MISTY WAY, and NORTH ISLAND BEER is coming in with CORIANDER BLACK.
MugiWow, 5 guest beers too? Plum, hazy, coriander... this is basically a flavor theme park.
Hop BroExactly. And they’re even featuring chanchan-yaki, so it is especially strong as a food-pairing spot. If you move from the roasted Robust Porter to the spice-driven Wu-Xiang Red Ale, the flavors start telling a story in your mouth.
MugiI’m done for, just reading it makes my throat react! If I can stop by for first drinks in Umeda, then today I’m going to drink at leaf, and I’ll take chanchan-yaki duty!
The beer pub CRAFT BEER BASE leaf, located on the 2nd floor of Grand Green Osaka North Building in Osaka, has announced its tap list for May 29. Business hours are 11:00 to 23:00, with last orders for food and drinks at 22:00. True to a brewery-operated venue, the lineup is notable for being built with beer-and-food pairings in mind.
The day’s original beers span a wide range, from the citrus-leaning `Ikeda Mikan Wit` to the staples `BLONDE` and `PALE ALE`, plus `LAVENDER & CHAMOMILE` made with lavender and chamomile, `MIX JUICY 014`, `Red Ale`, the new `Belgian IPA (new!!)`, the spice-blend `Wu-Xiang Red Ale`, and `Robust Porter`. One highlight is the broad flavor range, from hops and herbs to spices and roast character.
The guest lineup features two beers from Brasserie Knot: `MOON` and `FLOWER`; `Umemi-gachi` and `MISTY WAY` from Hop Kotan Brewing; and `CORIANDER BLACK` from NORTH ISLAND BEER. With a Double IPA, Belgian wit, a saison made with plum, a hazy IPA, and a stout with coriander, it is a lineup that makes you want to try them both with food and on their own.
Leaf’s appeal lies in offering both draft beer and bottles while making it easy to enjoy pairings with food. Even though it is inside a commercial facility near the station, it is a place where the individuality of the taps really carries the drinking experience, making it an easy first stop for a drink in Umeda. On this day, Hokkaido’s local dish `chanchan-yaki` was also featured, so this is a place where you will want to move back and forth between beer and food.
