At BEER & MUSIC Cafe Raisendo in Ibaraki, Osaka, the tap list for April 30 was published. True to the shop's name, it is a beer pub with an atmosphere that lets you enjoy beer and music in a relaxed mood, and on this day the lineup spans a wide range of styles, from German lager to fruit beer and IPA.

The centerpiece of the day is Baeren Brewery's "Colonia : Kölsch". It is a beer that captures the lightness and easy drinkability typical of a Cologne-style Kölsch, with a bright aroma and a smooth finish. Also on tap are Minoh Beer and Mikkeller Beer's collaboration "Ume-chu ≪ Mikkeller Beer × Minoh Beer ≫ : Sour Beer", REPUBREW's "Super CAMPai HAZY PALE ALE / Hazy Pale Ale", Iwate Kura Beer's "Raspberry Pink : Fruit Beer", as well as the classic "Draft Pilsner Urquell : Drought Pilsner Urquell" and "SORACHI 1984 : Pilsner".

Just looking at the styles, the crispness of Kölsch, the acidity of the ume sour, the tropical character of the hazy, the raspberry-driven fruitiness, the Czech pilsner, and the aroma derived from Sorachi Ace all make for a lineup with clear tasting points. If you are pairing with food, it should go well with the shop's smoked dishes, fried items, and pizzas.

In addition, the shop is also previewing upcoming additions: "Osaru IPA : Golden Ale IPA", "Rye Beer : Roggen", "Maibock : Mai Bock", and "Alt : Alt". For beer lovers, this is the kind of place that makes you want to follow not only today's pour but also the next kegs to come.
