YELLOW APE CRAFT taps three kegs including Falo Brewing's "SEIKATSU"; closed for event pop-ups from 5/23-26
Osaka's Imabashi beer pub YELLOW APE CRAFT announced the day's three tap openings in a May 21 post. The lineup features Falo Brewing's Helles "SEIKATSU," Shiga Kogen Beer’s "Porter," and Nomcraft's "Moon Calendar," along with notice of closed days due to event appearances.
Hop BroAt YELLOW APE CRAFT in Osaka's Kitahama, they've got three kegs tapping at once today. Falo Brewing's "SEIKATSU," Shiga Kogen Beer’s "Porter," and Nomcraft's "Moon Calendar" are all on the board, which is a seriously nice tap list.
MugiWait, so all three have totally different personalities!? That's the kind of happy problem that leaves you delightfully lost about what to drink first!
Hop BroFirst up, "SEIKATSU" is a Helles, so it's perfect as your opening beer. It's crisp and clean, the kind of beer that settles your throat on a humid day.
MugiA Helles, huh! Is that basically the beer world's warm water?
Hop BroThat's actually not a bad way to think about it. Among lager styles, it's light and lively, and the appeal is that it doesn't push too hard on aroma or bitterness, so the drinkability is gentle.
MugiI get it! So Shiga Kogen Beer's "Porter" is the strong, bold type?
Hop BroExactly. Porters tend to bring out the deep richness of roasted malt, so drinking one after a lighter Helles makes the contrast especially fun.
MugiEnjoying it through contrast makes the tasting feel almost like an attraction! What role does Nomcraft's "Moon Calendar" play?
Hop BroThat one works well as the beer that bridges lightness and depth. The name is great too, and it gives the three-beer lineup a nice rhythm.
MugiBut it's closed from 5/23 to 5/26, right? If I went all the way there and tried to toast in front of a locked door, I'd cry!
Hop BroThat's why it's worth aiming for the open days carefully. If you can drink this lineup in Imabashi, you should go on a day you can actually make it. Honestly, it makes me want to go for a pint too.
The beer pub "YELLOW APE CRAFT" in Osaka's Kitahama area updated today's tap list in a May 21 post. The post begins, "Hello, this is Go," and, even as the weather turns downhill, introduces a lineup that works well for enjoying your first drink in the shop.
Three kegs were tapped that day.
- `SEIKATSU / Falo Brewing`
- `Porter / Shiga Kogen Beer`
- `Moon Calendar / Nomcraft`
According to the owner's comments, the Falo Brewing keg is still a Helles, making it an easy choice for a first drink on a humid day. Added to that are a Porter with a firm drinking profile and Nomcraft's "Moon Calendar," creating a lineup that lets you enjoy both lightness and calm, layered depth. With three beers of different styles available, it is also an easy set for side-by-side comparison.
