Craft Beer Market LUCUA Osaka Branch Introduces Three Beers, Including a Hazy IPA
Craft Beer Market LUCUA Osaka branch introduced Totopia Brewery's Clawphobia, Tamba-ji Brewery's Sake Lees Hazy IPA 2026, and Doppo Beer's Muscat Pils on Instagram. From Hazy IPA to fruit-forward lagers, three beers with distinct personalities are lined up.
Hop BroToday's guest beers at LUCUA Osaka are interesting. Craft Beer Market LUCUA Osaka branch posted three beers with different personalities on Instagram, and it's the kind of lineup that really hits for people who love tasting comparisons.
MugiWhoa! Right next to Osaka Station, they're doing that? Three beers, all with distinct personalities? That's the kind of lineup that makes it hard to choose. Which one should I drink first?
Hop BroThe first highlight is Totopia Brewery's Clawphobia. It's a 2x Mash DDH Imperial Hazy IPA, silky, full-bodied, and even a bit nectar-like. It's built to please hazy IPA fans.
MugiWhat is that? DDH Imperial Hazy IPA sounds like a spell! Just reading the label makes me feel tipsy!
Hop BroPut simply, DDH means lots of hops, Imperial means stronger in alcohol and presence, and Hazy means a cloudy, juicy style. So this is a beer with dank and peach-like layers, strong in both aroma and body.
MugiOhh! And it even has sake lees! A sake lees Hazy IPA sounds like it would go well with Japanese food, and now I'm kind of curious!
Hop BroExactly. Tamba-ji Brewery's Sake Lees Hazy IPA 2026 uses sake lees from the famous Tamba sake 'Okutamba,' and the key point is that the easy-drinking nature of a Hazy IPA is joined by the character of the sake lees. It's also easy to use as a beer with food.
MugiYou can do that with sake lees!? It's like a beer wearing Japanese clothes, so stylish! It suddenly feels much more like an adult drink!
Hop BroAnd there's also Doppo Beer's Muscat Pils. It adds muscat aroma to the crispness of a pilsner, making it a refreshing choice you want to drink when the weather gets warmer.
MugiThat sounds absolutely delicious! 'Coolness through aroma' is unfair. The heft of the hazy and the lightness of this one would really split your mood!
Hop BroAnd this place is in Baltica on the B2F of LUCUA Osaka, where you can enjoy about 30 kinds of craft beer and bar food. In other words, it's a pretty strong setup as a place for beer tasting comparisons.
MugiJust hearing about it is making my throat dry... This is the kind of article that makes you want a drink right now. So, do we start with the hazy today? Or go refreshing with the muscat?
