Tap Takeover Featuring 16 Yatsugatake Brewery Beers at Craft Beer Market Whity Umeda
Craft Beer Market Whity Umeda will host Yatsugatake Brewery's tap takeover, "Tentwo Days," on May 30 and 31. On Instagram, it has published the tap list for all 16 beers and is also announcing early tap openings and a Weizen tasting set.
Hop BroThere's an event coming to Whity Umeda in Osaka where you can drink 16 Yatsugatake Brewery beers all at once. Craft Beer Market Whity Umeda will host a tap takeover called "Tentwo Days" on May 30 and 31.
MugiWhat, 16 beers is way too many! If that many are lined up, I feel like I'd get drunk before I even read the menu!
Hop BroThat's the fun of it. They've got lagers, Helles, IPA, sour, and Schwarz, and the range of flavors is amazing. From one brewery, you can compare briskness, toastiness, and fruitiness.
MugiWhoa, but Helles and Schwarz sound like spells as names. I have no idea how to tell them apart!
Hop BroRoughly speaking, Helles is a crisp lager style, and Schwarz is a dark, toasty, black-beer-leaning style. So this event is interesting if you work your way through it in order, from light and refreshing to rich.
MugiWhat! And the published tap list has some weird lagers too! Oolong lager and cold brew coffee lager, too. There's already so much information before I even drink!
Hop BroExactly. There's the oolong lager for "Tora Hachi Beer," Roggen Helles made with rye, and even yuzu kosho lager, so they're great at playing with ingredients. Yatsugatake Brewery is really good at adding a twist to a clean base.
MugiAnd there are four kinds of Weizen too, right? If they call it a tasting set, I already want to try them all like I'm checking the answers!
Hop BroThat's the main attraction this time. With the "Yatsugatake Brewery = Weizen" flow, a four-beer comparison tasting is pretty hot. You can compare the differences between Rock Weizen, the dry-hopped Ver. 2 and Ver. 3, and Weizen Bock.
MugiWait, there are Ver. 2 and Ver. 3 too!? So it's an ongoing series of improvements? That's pretty easy to understand, like a game update!
Hop BroThat's a good way to look at it. They add hop aroma or change the fermentation character, so even the same Weizen becomes something different. And since there are early taps starting from the beginning of the week, you can enjoy it before the actual event day too.
MugiAnd they're even doing a gacha machine, so the fact that it's not a rock-paper-scissors contest is strangely interesting! Tentsu-san is coming too, so it feels kind of festive.
Hop BroIf it's an underground-mall beer pub in Umeda with all-you-can-drink options for 30 beers and pizza, it's the kind of place that makes you want to stay from lunch onward. All right, I'll start with Rock Weizen. Mugi-chan, let's go with the peach Weizen.
MugiDeal! Today, I'm in the mood to toast in Umeda. I'm curious about all 16 Yatsugatake Brewery beers, so let's go in like we're bar-hopping!
16 Yatsugatake Brewery beers on May 30 and 31
A tap takeover by Yatsugatake Brewery, "Tentwo Days (2 Days)," will be held at Craft Beer Market Whity Umeda (inside NOMOKA in Whity Umeda, Osaka). The official Instagram account has released the tap list ahead of the May 30 and 31 event, and early tap openings are also scheduled to roll out sequentially from the beginning of the week.
The lineup spans lager, Helles, Weizen, IPA, sour, and Schwarz. From bright, easy-drinking styles to toasty notes, fruitiness, and coffee-derived nuances, it is a lineup that makes it easy to compare the brewery's range of flavors within a single producer.

The post also notes, in the context of Yatsugatake Brewery being associated with Weizen, that a four-beer Weizen tasting set will be available. Rather than a rock-paper-scissors contest, a gacha machine is planned, and the announcement that Tentsu-san will be visiting on both days is another highlight of this event.
The venue is a beer pub in the underground shopping arcade, easily accessible from both Higashi-Umeda Station and Umeda Station. True to Craft Beer Market, it offers all-you-can-drink courses with 30 craft beers, along with food centered on Italian snacks and kiln-baked pizza, making it easy to pair tastings with a meal on event day. There is also an announcement that paying in cash gets you a 5% discount coupon, which fits the shop's casual, easy-stop-in style.
