CRAFT BEER BASE BUD Updates Taps on 3/23, with 10 Beers Opening from Japan, the U.S., and Europe
CRAFT BEER BASE BUD in Osaka's Umeda district has released its tap list for March 23. From the new CRAFT BEER BASE × Matt Brynildson pale ale to a West Coast IPA, fruit lambic, and barrel-aged stout, the lineup brings together 10 beers in a wide range of styles, all available at once.
Hop BroWith CRAFT BEER BASE BUD updated on 3/23 in Osaka's Umeda district, today's tap list is really pushing the limits.
MugiWait, seriously!? 10 beers opening from Japan, the U.S., and Europe? The shelf is basically a world tour!
Hop BroAnd the newly tapped Trap Door × Irrelevant Beer "Sea Change" is a classic West Coast IPA, with bright citrus and pine aromas that hit clean and crisp.
MugiWhat even is a West Coast IPA!? When you say clean finish, my brain can't keep up with what exactly is clean!
Hop BroBasically, it's a style with less haze and a hop aroma that comes forward. Just remember: today is a day to enjoy citrus and pine aromas.
MugiOkay, got it! Then I'm also curious about the one called Gentle Lion. It sounds gentle, but somehow like it's secretly strong!
Hop BroThat's a Modern American Pale Ale, the kind with drinkability but still a clear hop character. And OUR BREWING's Second is a QDH Hazy Triple IPA, so the "aroma pressure" is incredible.
MugiQDH, what!? Aroma pressure? The beer is basically trying to sell itself to me!
Hop BroIt's like doing double dry hopping on top of that, layering in even more aroma. Then you have UNION JACK as a West Coast IPA and Amber Swan Ale bringing malt character, so the range feels great.
MugiWhoa, even Cantillon has a fruit lambic!? Being able to drink something sweet and sour and something rich and heavy on the same day is way too strong, BUD...!
Hop BroExactly. With Rosé de Gambrinus and even a barrel-aged stout like BA Marshmallow Drip, it's a lineup that lets you travel in one place.
MugiIt's close to the station, so I could stop by after work, and now it feels like the night of tasting and comparing is about to begin!
Hop BroThey're open from 16:00 to 22:30, with beer last call at 22:00. Tonight, I'd want to build a few rounds, and then decide whether to finish with Sea Change or unwind with a lambic.
At the beer pub "CRAFT BEER BASE BUD," located on B2 of Osaka Ekimae Dai-1 Building in Umeda, tap information for Monday, 3/23 was announced. Business hours are 16:00 to 22:30, with last call for beer at 22:00.
The highlight of the day is the newly tapped Trap Door × Irrelevant Beer "Sea Change". It is also described in the post as a "classic West Coast IPA," with a beer centered on aromas reminiscent of citrus and pine, along with a clean finish.
Looking at the full tap list, the breadth stands out. CRAFT BEER BASE × Matt Brynildson "Gentle Lion" (Modern American Pale Ale), OUR BREWING "Second" (QDH Hazy Triple IPA), and Firestone Walker "UNION JACK" (West Coast IPA) create a hop-forward flow, while Swan Lake Beer "Amber Swan Ale" and BARE BOTTLE "DARK COSMOS" provide maltier options.
In addition, the lineup includes a fruit lambic like Cantillon "Rosé de Gambrinus", a richly layered barrel-aged stout with adjuncts like Finback "BA Marshmallow Drip", and even Ise Kadoya Beer "KADOLABO029 Rose & Gun" (Hard Cider), making it a list that offers plenty of enjoyment as you move from one glass to the next. With Kyoto Brewing "Mado Otoko" (Belgian D IPA) also on the list, the chance to compare brews across domestic and international makers is another BUD-style appeal.
With its station-adjacent location, it's an easy place to stop by for a drink after work or settle in for a longer tasting session. Whether you go all-in on IPAs or add in lambic and cider to vary the pace, the tap lineup changes character depending on how the drinker builds the round.
