GROUNDTAP BREWERY in Saijo, Ehime Prefecture will hold a release event at TAP ROOM starting at 6:00 p.m. on April 17. The star of this event is the new OSANBAI. In its announcement, the brewery says the taps will be lined up with lager-style beers, including OSANBAI, so visitors can enjoy tasting and comparing them.

The TAP ROOM venue is a standing-room-focused space attached to the brewery, and its appeal is that you can enjoy your first drink while feeling the atmosphere of the brewhouse itself. As a brewery shaped by Saijo's famous water, it is a natural fit for a place that lets the beer speak for itself rather than relying on flashy presentation. It sounds like an event well suited both for stopping by after work and for heading out to find the first beer of the weekend.

What stands out about this event is that although OSANBAI is the "star," the lineup is clearly limited to lager styles. In other words, it is not just about tracking each beer's individual character; within the common frame of lagers, it should be easy to compare aroma, crispness, and malt character. Even for people who already know GROUNDTAP BREWERY's regular lineup, this makes it easy to see where the new OSANBAI fits in.

GROUNDTAP BREWERY offers a way to enjoy Saijo's beer culture as part of everyday life. This is one new release you will want to check out first at TAP ROOM.
