MugiWhat! A 15-tap lineup? That's so many!
Hop BroExactly. It's 10 originals plus 5 guest beers, so you can get a solid sense of the brewery's range while also doing a proper tasting comparison.
MugiWait, what! Saison with herbs? They put herbs in beer?!
Hop BroThey do. When you bring out the aroma with something like sage & Lemongrass, you get this soft mix of herbal notes and citrus.
MugiWhoa! And they even have LAVENDER & CHAMOMILE? That's basically a flower garden!
Hop BroBut it's not just sweet and floral. What feels very much like leaf is how it ranges from a light pint to dark beer.
MugiThe guests are strong too! I'd want to do a tasting comparison with Chuckanut's lagers!
Hop BroAnd you can even build a flow from Rodenbach's tartness to Daisen G Beer's stout, so it feels like you're traveling through different styles in one place.
MugiNow I'm getting hungry... if there's even a new limited-food pizza, I want to go right now!
Hop BroIf it comes with new potatoes, asparagus, and bacon plus smoked mayo, you'd want to pair it with BLONDE and Vienna Lager, wouldn't you?
MugiI can't take it anymore, I'm already in full-on afternoon drink mode!
On April 15, CRAFT BEER BASE leaf is offering a 15-tap lineup of 10 originals plus 5 guest beers. As a beer pub on the 2nd floor of the North Building of Shops & Restaurants at Grand Green Osaka in Osaka, the lineup centers on a broad range of house-brewed styles, with guest beers added to vary the drinking experience. Hours are 11:00-23:00, food last order is 22:00, and drink last order is 22:00.
Original Beers
- `leaf : Saison with sage & Lemongrass`
- `BLONDE : Blonde Ale`
- `PALE ALE : American Pale Ale`
- `LAVENDER & CHAMOMILE : Golden Ale with Lavender & Chamomile`
- `MIX JUICY 013 : Hazy IPA`
- `Ikeda Mikan Wit : Belgian style Witbier`
- `Belgian IPA : American Belgian-Style Ale`
- `Sorachi Kinuyuki ~Sake Yeast BMK3 ver.`
- `Red Ale : Red Ale`
- `Robust Porter : Robust Porter`
Guest Beers
- `Pilsner : Bohemian-style Pilsner / Chuckanut Brewery`
- `Vienna Lager : Vienna Lager / Chuckanut`
- `Spring Whisper : Free Style Ale / Ise Kadoya Beer`
- `RODENBACH CLASSIC : Flemish Red-Brown Ale / RODENBACH`
- `Imperial Stout 2023 : Imperial Stout / Daisen G Beer`
The originals cover saison, blonde, pale ale, hazy IPA, wit, Belgian IPA, red ale, and porter, giving the lineup a wide range from a light, easy-drinking pint to a full-bodied dark beer. In particular, beers that use herbs and botanicals, such as `leaf : Saison with sage & Lemongrass` and `LAVENDER & CHAMOMILE`, give the lineup a distinctly leaf-like character.
The guest beers include Chuckanut's pilsner and Vienna lager, Ise Kadoya Beer's `Spring Whisper`, `RODENBACH CLASSIC`, and Daisen G Beer's `Imperial Stout 2023`. The appeal is being able to build a tasting flow from lager comparisons to the tart Flemish red-brown ale and on to a heavy imperial stout.
The shop is also announcing a new limited-time food item: a pizza with new potatoes, asparagus, and bacon. It is made by parboiling the potatoes, deep-frying them, and finishing them with smoked mayonnaise, and the shop says it pairs well with `BLONDE` and `Vienna Lager`. It is the kind of menu that works well when you want to focus on beer while still matching it properly with food.
