CRAFT BEER BASE leaf in Osaka unveils 2nd anniversary tap list
CRAFT BEER BASE leaf, the beer pub at Grand Green Osaka, has released its 2nd anniversary tap list. The lineup spans house beers, collaboration brews, hop-driven classics, sake-leaning ales, and a coffee-infused imperial porter.
Hop BroOsaka's CRAFT BEER BASE leaf just dropped a 2nd-anniversary tap list, and it's a strong one. House brews, collabs, the whole range.
MugiWhat! A 2nd-anniversary event with that much variety? That's not a casual celebration, that's a full tasting marathon!
Hop BroThe centerpiece is `leaf`, their house beer, a herbal saison with sage and lemongrass. It really feels like the pub introducing itself through aroma.
MugiWait, what's a saison? The name sounds less like beer and more like a fancy skincare line!
Hop BroA saison is usually light, dry, and easy to drink, so even when herbs and yeast aromas pop, it stays balanced. It's basically a food-friendly style.
MugiOkay, then what about `MIX JUICY 017` and this Hazy IPA thing? It looks cloudy and somehow that's a selling point?
Hop BroHazy IPA pushes juicy aroma forward instead of sharp bitterness, and this one uses Lemondrop for a juicy setup. The name is doing exactly what the beer does.
MugiAnd `和019 白霞` plus `和020 紀翠和醸` use koji and sake yeast? That's like beer sneaking into sake school!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. The Wa series aims for ginjo-like aroma, and then it swings all the way to `The Magnificent NITO Coffee Beans Ver. - Emperor 010`, an imperial porter with coffee. Light to heavy, all in one lineup.
MugiWow, herbs, sake vibes, and coffee all together? That's an aroma roller coaster. Every glass sounds like a mood change!
Hop BroAnd it doesn't stop there. `IPA` nods to Stone IPA, `Wicked AI:le` recreates Pete's Wicked Ale, and `RED IPA` salutes Heretic. That's a full tribute tasting right there.
MugiThat's it, I'm sold. I want a full tap crawl at CRAFT BEER BASE leaf and a toast straight into the anniversary energy!
CRAFT BEER BASE leaf, the beer pub inside Grand Green Osaka in Umeda, has published the tap list for its 2nd anniversary event. The post also shows the brew day for a white koji cucumber gose, then lays out a lineup that runs from self-brewed classics to collaboration beers and high-ABV specialties.
The core of the lineup is clearly house-made. `leaf` is a saison with sage and lemongrass, `LAVENDER & CHAMOMILE` is a golden ale built with lavender and chamomile, and `MIX JUICY 017` is a Hazy IPA using Lemondrop. The `和` series leans into Japanese brewing character through yellow koji and sake yeast, while `Hop Schema 061 - Polaris` spotlights a single hop. `PALE ALE`, `IPA`, and `Wicked AI:le` cover the classic pale ale, IPA, and brown ale lanes.
The reference points are explicit too: `IPA` pays tribute to `Stone IPA`, `Wicked AI:le` recreates `Pete's Wicked Ale`, and `RED IPA` nods to Heretic Brewing's `Evil Twin`. `The Magnificent NITO Coffee Beans Ver. - Emperor 010` uses a special blend from NITO COFFEE AND CRAFT BEER, and `Joshua Norton 90 min Bastard 2026 - Emperor 008` draws on the idea of `90 Minute IPA`. It is a lineup built for pairing with food, and for comparing aroma, bitterness, malt depth, and fermentation character side by side.
