Nomcraft Juso Taproom adds new taps, with NOM & TACOS #3 set for next Saturday
On June 20, Nomcraft Juso Taproom in Osaka’s Juso district announced new pours and previewed next Saturday’s NOM & TACOS #3 pop-up. The lineup includes Nomcraft Lager, Baldys Good Beer’s ACID PUNCH, and the debut of CON SAFOS.
Hop BroAt Nomcraft Juso Taproom, today's story is three fresh taps. They've got the house Nomcraft Lager, BALDYS GOOD BEER's ACID PUNCH, and even CON SAFOS lined up for next Saturday's event.
MugiWait, so it's three totally different moods? From lager to something called PUNCH, that lineup is doing roller-coaster work!
Hop BroThe anchor is Nomcraft Lager. It's their standard lager, poured from freshly cleaned lines, so it sounds perfect for a clean, crisp start on a muggy rainy-season day.
MugiReally, it matters that much? Freshly cleaned taps makes the beer sound like it just came out of a spa!
Hop BroIt really does. Off-flavors stay out so the lager's light body and snap come through straight. Basically, it's a sharp, refreshing pint.
MugiOkay, nice! Then what about ACID PUNCH? That name hits hard. It sounds less like a mood change and more like a wake-up call!
Hop BroIt's a guest beer from Tokyo's BALDYS GOOD BEER, positioned as a reset-button pour. After the lager, it feels like the kind of beer that changes the whole pace.
MugiAnd then CON SAFOS! Mexican lager? What is that, did the lager just get hired by a taco stand?
Hop BroThat's the fun part. It uses blue corn, and the beer is built around biscuity malt and toastiness. So you get soft grainy sweetness plus that roasted-corn vibe that should sit right next to tacos.
MugiWait, there aren't actual cookies in it? Beer tasting language is always one fake-out away from snack time!
Hop BroNo cookies involved. A baked-bread kind of note is what brewers mean. And for next Saturday's 'NOM and TACOS #3,' Los Elegantes is doing carne asada tacos on blue-corn tortillas, so CON SAFOS should make even more sense.
MugiOkay, now I want the full taco-pairing route. Start with Nomcraft Lager, switch gears with ACID PUNCH, then land on CON SAFOS with carne asada tacos. I suddenly want to walk to Juso right now!
Nomcraft Juso Taproom, a brewpub in Osaka’s Juso area, used its June 20 post to highlight new taps and an upcoming food event. In the middle of the rainy season, the bar pointed first to its house lager, then added a guest beer and a collaboration beer to the lineup.
Beers on tap
- Nomcraft Lager / NOMCRAFT BREWING
The house lager. In the post, it is described as freshly cleaned and ready to pour, making it an easy choice for a clean, refreshing pint.
- ACID PUNCH / BALDYS GOOD BEER
A guest beer from Tokyo. It was introduced as a beer that fits the current weather and adds a different edge to the lineup.
- CON SAFOS / NOMCRAFT BREWING
A collaboration beer prepared for next Saturday’s NOM & TACOS #3. It is a Mexican lager brewed with blue corn, with a profile centered on bready malt and a corn aroma.
NOM & TACOS #3
Next Saturday brings the third edition of the Los Elegantes taco pop-up. This round features carne asada tacos on blue-corn tortillas, designed to pair naturally with beer. The appeal of the event is simple: pick a beer from the taproom, then match it with tacos at the same counter.
With its Juso location and brewery-direct format, Nomcraft Juso Taproom is the kind of place where drinkers can follow fresh releases and event pours in one visit. Start with the house lager, move to ACID PUNCH for contrast, and finish with CON SAFOS alongside tacos.
