torne_craftbeer in Osaka Tenroku opens Inkhorn and Fremont taps, with Bellwoods close to sold out
In a June 22 post, the Tenroku beer pub torne_craftbeer announced two new taps: Inkhorn Brewing's `Bird Wave #3.` and Fremont Brewing's `Extra Lush.`. The post also says a Bellwoods favorite is close to selling out, while the okra udon has sold out for now.
Hop BroTenroku's torne_craftbeer just tapped two new kegs on June 22. Inkhorn's Bird Wave #3. and Fremont's Extra Lush. could not be more different.
MugiWhat, a contrast duo? So one is breezy and the other punches you in the face?
Hop BroExactly. Bird Wave #3. is Inkhorn Brewing's West Coast Pilsner: Citra and Mosaic give lychee and grapefruit vibes, the body stays light, and the bitterness still snaps.
MugiWait, West Coast Pilsner? So it's a pilsner that secretly trained as an IPA? My brain is doing laps.
Hop BroPretty much. Think of it as a hop-forward pilsner. It drinks crisp and light, but the citrus aroma and clean bitterness come out front, which is perfect for humid weather.
MugiOkay, that's a humidity reset beer. One gulp and summer stress gets deleted.
Hop BroThen Extra Lush. from Fremont Brewing is a Triple IPA. It's based on Lush IPA but uses triple the malt and tropical hops, so orange, grapefruit, pine resin, and pineapple all pile in.
MugiTriple?! That's way too much plot for one glass. The second you said pine resin, a whole forest moved into my mouth.
Hop BroThat range is the fun of torne_craftbeer. Bellwoods is almost gone, the Ogura udon is temporarily sold out, the twice-fried potatoes now come with curry sauce, and the tap list runs from lagers to lambic, so it's an I-need-this-now lineup.
MugiThen we need to go. At TEN ROCK 102, with music in the background, I want to go Bird Wave into Extra Lush and order those curry potatoes immediately.
In its June 22 post, the Tenroku beer pub `torne_craftbeer` announced two new draft beers. The update also noted that a Bellwoods favorite is close to selling out, that the okura udon is temporarily sold out, and that the double-fried potatoes now come with curry sauce.
New taps
- `Bird Wave #3.` / Inkhorn Brewing / Tokyo,JP
A West Coast Pilsner with bright fruit-like notes from Citra and Mosaic, including lychee and grapefruit. It keeps a firm bitterness while staying light on the palate, making it a good warm-weather pour.
- `Extra Lush.` / Fremont Brewing / Seattle,WA,US
A Triple IPA built on Fremont's classic `Lush IPA`, using three times the malt and tropical hops. Expect layers of orange, grapefruit, pine resin, and pineapple.
The rest of the tap list
The lineup leans lager-forward, but it spans a wide range of styles: `Good Old nitro ver.`, `Niwaka Lager.`, and `Lemon Ale.` from Fukuoka Craft Brewing; `Jazz nitro ver.` from Wu-Chaw-Teng Brew; `Mi Casa Tu Casa.` from Fill Brewing; `Tomodachi Saison.` from Himitsu Beer x Kemupa x torne; `El Clásico.` from Craft Bank Brewing; and `Earl Grey Tea Infused Lambic.` from Oud Beersel. From crisp pilsners to a sour lambic, it is a list built for comparison drinking.
Located in `TEN ROCK 102` in Osaka's Tenroku area, the pub keeps a relaxed beer-and-music atmosphere. The newly updated curry-sauce potatoes also make sense alongside hop-forward beers. It is the kind of place where you can move from a light, crisp pint to something much bigger without changing rooms.
