CRAFT BEER BASE leaf releases April 1 tap list, featuring 10 house brews and 5 guest beers
The beer pub CRAFT BEER BASE leaf in Osaka's Grand Green Osaka has released its tap list for April 1. In addition to 10 house-brewed beers, the lineup includes 5 guest beers for a total of 15 taps, and the venue is presenting the day as the first day of its "Enjoy Spring Pairings: Sakura Mochi Special."
Hop BroOsaka's Grand Green Osaka now has a total of 15 taps on display, and CRAFT BEER BASE leaf has released its April 1 tap list. Ten house brews plus five guest beers makes for a pretty lavish start to spring, don't you think?
MugiWhoa! 15 taps lined up? I'd get lost just trying to choose before I even started drinking!
Hop BroExactly, and the house-brewed side alone has 10 original beers. You've got the saison-style leaf that shares the shop's name, plus BLONDE, PALE ALE, and LAVENDER & CHAMOMILE, so the range is really wide.
MugiSaison-style, huh? The beer names are in a traffic jam, and lavender and chamomile sound like tea!
Hop BroSaison started as a farmhouse beer in France, and its fermentation-driven aroma is lively and crisp. A seasonal pint like leaf is a perfect entry point for enjoying the aroma.
MugiI see! I spotted Ikeda Mikan Wit too, and that citrusy vibe seems perfect for spring, doesn't it?
Hop BroThat's the clever part. The shop is recommending Red Ale and Ikeda Mikan Wit for its Sakura Mochi Special. For the sweetness and saltiness of sakura mochi, Red Ale works well, while Ikeda Mikan Wit is a great match for the citrus notes. It's a pretty sharp pairing.
MugiWait, you're pairing beer with wagashi? Sakura mochi and beer? I can't picture it at first, but that's fun!
Hop BroAnd the five guest beers are strong too. You've got Beer Terrace's German style Pilsner, CRAFTROCK's Indie IPA, Belching Beaver's Tropical Terps, Ise Kadoya Brewery's Ultra Heaven 3x IPA, and Nara Brewing × Kaze no Mori's UNDERWATER.
MugiThree times the IPA? What kind of beer is that? A triple IPA doesn't even look like it's trying to be a beer anymore!
Hop BroThe alcohol, bitterness, and aroma are all pushed up, making the IPA's presence even bigger. On a day like this, when you can choose from lagers to hazy beers to sake-yeast beers, it's fun to decide on a pint that fits your mood.
MugiAnd you can do that around Osaka Station? That's too powerful! I have so many tonight's drink candidates now that my stomach is already in spring mode!
Hop BroIt's easy to stop by from 11:00 to 23:00, and there's food too, so pairings are easy. Today feels like one of those days to go spring tap-hopping at leaf and end up wanting one more beer with your sakura mochi.
