Hop BroAt the beer pub Eden Express in Tennoji, Osaka, there’s a 9 1/2 Anniversary Festival on April 12. It’s cash-on from 15:00 to 21:00, and it’s a day where the draft beer lineup gets a big boost.
MugiWait, it’s an anniversary event and you can just come and go freely? That sounds like the kind of place you can drop by casually and have a drink, which is pretty great!
Hop BroExactly. And the draft lineup is strong. Saruyama Shikao is Minoh Beer’s Japanese saison, Hysteric I.P.A is Y.MARKET BREWING’s American-style IPA, and Orange Chocolate Stout is from Sankt Gallen.
MugiA Japanese saison? What kind of thing is a saison? The name sounds stylish, but is it one of those beers that makes you feel smarter just by drinking it?
Hop BroSaison originally comes from a beer style that was drunk in between farm work, so it tends to be light and dry. That’s why Saruyama Shikao goes down easily but still has aroma, and it’s just right for kicking off an anniversary celebration.
MugiI see! So you start with a firmly bitter IPA to get in the mood, then finish with a dark beer. That sounds perfect, doesn’t it?
Hop BroExactly. And the pending arrivals are strong too. FANTASMA is Y.MARKET BREWING’s hazy IPA, Session Black I.P.A is from Minoh Beer, and Noroshi COLD I.P.A and Suzume Lager are also on the way.
MugiWait, wait, a hazy IPA is the cloudy one, right? It has that "looks delicious before you even taste it" vibe!
Hop BroExactly. Hop aroma tends to come forward, and the mouthfeel is often softer. Also, Sakura and Winter Fruit Tart Ale are scheduled to arrive on April 12, so there’s even a nice spring-limited feel to it.
MugiAnd the food is full of perfect sidekicks for beer! If there are mixed nuts, chicken jerky, and freshly fried potatoes, that’s the kind of lineup you just can’t stop eating.
Hop BroRight, it’s the kind of event where you can enjoy the anniversary atmosphere exactly as it is. Both the draft beers and the pending arrivals are hot, so this is one where I’d want to go and spend a long time deciding on the first glass.
The beer pub "Eden Express" in Tennoji, Osaka, will hold its "Nine-Half 9 1/2 Anniversary Festival" on April 12. The venue is cash-on and open for free entry and exit, with business hours from 15:00 to 21:00. With shortened hours continuing as it recovers from illness, the event will mark a milestone day with a fuller draft beer selection.
The draft lineup for the day begins with three beers.
- Saruyama Shikao / Minoh Beer
- Hysteric I.P.A / Y.MARKET BREWING
- Orange Chocolate Stout / Sankt Gallen
Saruyama Shikao is a Japanese saison, Hysteric I.P.A is an American-style IPA, and Orange Chocolate Stout is a fruit beer/stout, so the flavor directions are clearly distinct. From a light saison to a firmly bitter IPA and a dessert-like dark beer, the lineup offers something for every mood.
The pending-arrival lineup is also appealing.
- FANTASMA / Y.MARKET BREWING
- Session Black I.P.A / Minoh Beer
- Noroshi COLD I.P.A / Noroshi Brewing
- Suzume Lager / Shiro Suzume
- Hima Bitter / Nanshu Beer
- Sakura / Sankt Gallen
- Winter Fruit Tart Ale / Sankt Gallen
FANTASMA is a hazy IPA, Session Black I.P.A is a black IPA, Noroshi COLD I.P.A is a cold IPA, Suzume Lager is a German-style Helles, and Hima Bitter is an English bitter. Sakura and Winter Fruit Tart Ale are scheduled to arrive on April 12, making this a lineup that also includes spring-leaning limited releases.
The food menu consists of five items: mixed nuts from Shinsekai's Yasuda Shoten, assorted chocolates, juicy chicken jerky made only from breast meat, piping-hot freshly boiled peanuts, and french fries. While beer remains the star, the snacks are all easygoing bar fare, letting you enjoy the atmosphere of the anniversary event as it is. If you're following draft-beer activity in Osaka, you'll want to keep an eye on both the beer pouring on the day of the event and the one still waiting to arrive.
