CRAFT BEER BASE BUD Releases April 27 Tap List: 10 Diverse Lagers
The Osaka-Umeda beer pub CRAFT BEER BASE BUD has released its tap list for Monday, April 27. As an afterparty for the spring lager festival, the lineup spans 10 beers from lagers to IPA and barrel-aged styles, with several new taps included.
Hop BroYou know, down in Osaka-Umeda, CRAFT BEER BASE BUD has put out its April 27 tap list. It feels like the afterparty for the spring lager festival, and the fact that 10 beers are lined up with lagers at the center is exciting.
MugiWhoa! 10 beers centered on lagers? And it still gets called a "lager festival" even with that much variety? The beer shelf is in total traffic-jam mode!
Hop BroWhat I like is that it isn't just light stuff, it's broad too. They've got everything from a modern American pale ale like Gentle Lion to porter, triple IPA, and hazy IPA.
MugiTriple IPA and hazy IPA? Just hearing the names is enough to make me feel buzzed! Do the types of IPA really have that different a personality?
Hop BroRoughly speaking, IPA is a style for enjoying hop aroma and bitterness, while hazy has more haze and juiciness, and the way the bitterness comes through is quite different too. So when you taste them side by side, their character really shows.
MugiWow, then I might even be able to tell the difference. And there are new!! first-time taps too, right? Stuff like that makes my eyes sparkle!
Hop BroAbsolutely. Isekadoya Beer’s Golden Dragon is a Session Pale Ale, Monkish’s West Coast Blue is a West Coast IPA, and Vinohradský’s Czech-style pale lager is also a fresh face. It feels like both lager fans and IPA fans are being waved over.
MugiWait, what's a Czech-style pale lager? Is that some kind of spell? I love that lagers have their own personality depending on the country!
Hop BroOne of the great things about lager is how clearly you can taste the grain flavor. If you line up OYAMA G BEER's Pilsner, Bierstadt Lagerhaus's HELLES, and Vinohradský's Czech Style Pale Lager, the side-by-side tasting is a lot of fun.
MugiThat sounds like the perfect tasting set! And a beer pub in the basement near the station is exactly the kind of place you can just swing by after work, which is kind of unfair.
Hop BroExactly. It's on B2 of the JR Osaka Station Front First Building, open 16:00-22:30, with last call at 22:00. Because lightness and richness coexist here, the best flow is to start with a lager, settle in, and finish with the barrel-aged eisbock.
Whoa, it's the kind of place where every last beer is fun! Today I'm definitely starting with lager, and I can already see a future where I end up on porter and IPA too!
