Hop BroToday we're looking at YELLOW APE CRAFT in Imahashi, Osaka. The May 14 tap list is out, and Yebisu plus a stout from Miyazaki Hideji Beer have been added.
MugiWhoa, Yebisu is on tap! A new two-tap addition from a place that usually plays it bold somehow adds a surprising sense of comfort too!
Hop BroExactly, the lineup stretches from lager to IPA to strong ales, so it has this really broad composition. And what makes this place feel like itself is that the selection changes every day, not just the staples.
MugiBut lager, IPA, all these names make me a little lost! When you say different styles, what actually makes them different?
Hop BroBroadly speaking, lager is crisp and easy to drink, while IPA puts hop aroma and bitterness in the spotlight. For example, a lager like Ignition tends to be refreshing and works well as a beer to reset your mood.
MugiOhhh! So the wheat-style ones like Heisei Banana and Adhadhuri probably feel gentler just from the names alone, right?
Hop BroExactly. Wheat styles tend to bring out soft wheat character and a fuller aroma. Add ales like Chotto, Latte yo! into the mix, and you start to see flavors leaning toward toastiness and richness too.
MugiWait, the names are already fun! Tohoku 6 Hop and GO SMALL WAVE sound like a conversation starts before you even drink them!
Hop BroThe IPA section is strong too. Some, like Juicy Drop, lean into fruitiness, while others, like Code Breaker, have a sharply defined outline, so the hop expression is really different from beer to beer.
MugiAnd they even have Yuzu Tripel? That's way too wide a range! I thought I'd just have one quick beer today, but before I know it, tasting side by side might be starting...
Hop BroThe interior is also a small space with about 25 seats, so it's nice that you can really focus on the flavors. In the Osaka Metro Yodoyabashi-Kitahama area, chasing around 20 draft beers in the atmosphere created by graf sounds like a lot of fun.
MugiDecision made! Today I'm heading out to follow the rotating taps. I'll start with Yebisu, then go to the stout, and finish with an IPA!
Hop BroNice, that sounds like a perfect day for a tasting flight. If I went after work, I'd probably end up getting just as unsettled in exactly the same order.
