Osaka’s torne_craftbeer taps Vinohradská 12 and previews an Aug. 31 book party
At torne_craftbeer, a beer pub in Osaka’s Sugae-cho neighborhood, Czech pilsner Vinohradská 12 has just been tapped. The bar will also launch its lager-focused series, “Lager, Please.”, on August 24, and preview a book launch party on August 31.
Hop BroHere’s a good one from Tenroku: torne_craftbeer just tapped the Czech beer Vinohradska 12.
MugiWhat! Vinohradska 12 already sounds intense. What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt’s a Czech Style Premium Pilsner, so it drinks light and crisp but still carries solid malt flavor.
MugiWhoa, that sounds fancy, but premium pilsner spell is still not beginner language to me!
Hop BroPut simply, it’s an elegant lager with crispness and malt in balance. It also has herbal and lemon-like notes from Saaz and Sladek hops.
MugiHold on, Saaz and Sladek are hop names? I thought you were suddenly listing Czech cousins.
Hop BroThat’s the Czech character right there. And this beer is unpasteurized and unfiltered, so it keeps that fresh-from-the-tank feeling.
MugiThat is unfairly tempting. Plus Lager, Please. starts on August 24, and they’re serving boiled dumplings too? I’m done for.
Hop BroThen on August 31 there’s a book release party, with a lineup that stretches from lager to stout, gose, and lambic. Very torne, very fun.
MugiStarting with lager and wandering across styles sounds perfect. I want a glass now, and I want that Vinohradska 12 first.
At `torne_craftbeer` in Osaka’s Tenroku area, the August 23 update introduced a new tap: `Vinohradská 12` from `Vinohradský pivovar`. It is a Czech Style Premium Pilsner with a light body, clear malt presence, and hop-driven herbal and lemon-like aromas from Saaz and Sládek. As an unpasteurized, unfiltered beer, it is presented as a fresh, lively pour.
From August 24, the bar also begins a two-week lager project called “Lager, Please.”. The lineup is built around lager and is paired with the venue’s food offering, including its steamed dumplings. It is the kind of setup that lets drinkers slow down and compare different lager expressions alongside food.
On August 31, the venue also plans a book-release party for Ota Sensei - The Sociology of Club Culture. The evening is set to mix beer and music in a way that fits torne’s style. The taps cover a wide range, from stout and gose to lambic, so guests can move from a crisp lager opener into deeper, more layered styles.
