Field Ales First Tap at Craft Beer Market Whity Umeda, Four Spring Drafts
At Craft Beer Market Whity Umeda in Osaka's Whity Umeda, Field Ales' first batch, 'Pint,' has been tapped for the first time. Four beers are lined up, including CRAFTROCK BREWING, FARMENTRY, and Hop Kotan Brewing × Domaine Raison, creating a seasonal lineup.
Hop BroAt Craft Beer Market Whity Umeda in Osaka's underground mall, Field Ales' first tap has arrived. And with four beers lined up for spring, the taps are looking pretty exciting.
MugiWhat, there are four kinds and one is a first-ever pour? That alone is enough to get me hyped!
Hop BroThe one to watch is Field Ales' first batch, 'Pint,' in the city ale style. It's made by Mr. Wakai, formerly of Shiga Kogen Beer, and the fact that only one 15L keg was prepared makes it even rarer.
MugiCity ale? What is that, like an urban-style ale? Sounds like a beer that would wear a suit!
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it's an ale that puts drinkability first rather than going heavy on the hops. It's the kind of beer that's perfect for your first glass, letting you slowly enjoy the malt flavor and aroma.
MugiOh, I see. That sounds easy to drink. And I'm curious about 'Sakura Blossom,' with its springtime feel too, but do they really put cherry leaves in it?
Hop BroThey do. CRAFTROCK BREWING's 'Sakura Blossom' is a sour style brewed with cherry leaves and sea salt, plus dragon fruit, and it's like they've bottled the atmosphere of hanami.
MugiDragon fruit too!? Cherry-blossom viewing has basically turned into a tropical festival. It sounds sweet but sour - that has to be interesting!
Hop BroAnd when FARMENTRY's 'No.02 KISARAGI IPA' is in the mix, it tightens the whole lineup. It's a well-chilled IPA that lets you enjoy the hop bitterness cleanly, so it also works as the beer that balances out the sour beers.
MugiI get it - alternating between sweet-tart and bitter sounds amazing. And with Hop Kotan Brewing × Domaine Raison ORIGINALS+'s grape sour ale too, they're really trying to make us choose!
Hop BroExactly. 'awta -Auta-' brings together grape-derived aroma and acidity, and the four spring beers are really well put together. This is the kind of lineup that makes you want more than just one drink in Umeda - two or three, easily.
MugiYeah, today's decided! It's like a before-or-after-hanami drink; both me and Hop Bro are in beer mode at the same time!
Field Ales Gets Its First Tap
At the Craft Beer Market Whity Umeda store inside NOMOKA in Osaka's Umeda underground mall, the first tapping of Field Ales has been announced. In the post, 'four beers today' was noted, and the lineup featured kegs with a distinctly spring, limited-run feel.
Today's Lineup
- CRAFTROCK BREWING 'Sakura Blossom' [w/ cherry leaves, sea salt, dragon fruit]
- Field Ales 'Pint' [City Ale]
- FARMENTRY 'No.02 KISARAGI IPA' [West Coast IPA]
- Hop Kotan Brewing × Domaine Raison ORIGINALS+ 'awta -Auta-' [Grape sour ale w/ grapes]
The standout is Field Ales' first batch, 'Pint,' made by Mr. Wakai, formerly of Shiga Kogen Beer. Only one 15L keg was prepared, and the shop commented that it had been 'waiting for the right moment to tap it.' In the city ale style, it's hard for beer fans hunting for a first-ever pour to pass up.
As a springtime pour, CRAFTROCK BREWING's 'Sakura Blossom' is also noteworthy. It's introduced as a sour style brewed with cherry leaves, sea salt, and dragon fruit, giving a fresh spin to the annual seasonal release. Timed to cherry-blossom viewing season, it's a lineup that lets you enjoy seasonal nuance.
Furthermore, FARMENTRY's 'No.02 KISARAGI IPA' is a West Coast IPA. From the brewery in Kashihara, Nara, it's presented as a beer best enjoyed well-chilled in a large glass. In addition, Hop Kotan Brewing × Domaine Raison ORIGINALS+'s 'awta -Auta-' is a grape sour ale whose grape-derived aroma and sour yeast acidity overlap. It is included as a special offering.
Though it's an easy-to-stop-by beer pub in an underground mall, the selection is solidly brewery-oriented. From a new first tap to seasonal limited releases, IPA, and sour ale, the lineup is broad, making it a place to check when you're unsure what to drink in Umeda. The post also mentioned plans to visit on April 7 and encouraged people to enjoy a drink before or after cherry-blossom viewing.
