Umeda BUD's 3/19 Tap Update Brings Everything from a Staple IPA to a Newly Tapped Lager
CRAFT BEER BASE BUD released its tap list for March 19. The lineup ranged widely from an in-house wit to an IPA from an overseas brewery and a domestic collaboration lager. True to a classic beer pub in the basement of Osaka Station First Building, it is a lineup built around standard styles that invites side-by-side tasting.
Hop BroBUD in Umeda just dropped a hot 3/19 tap update, and it is all about classic styles done right!
MugiWhoa! I'm curious! What is on there? Tell me the top pick of the day first!
Hop BroVery CRAFT BEER BASE BUD: Ise Kadoya Beer's "Pale Ale" and OYAMA G BEER's "Stout" are the big anchors, so you get that reliable staple-beer comfort.
Mugi"Newly tapped" was written there, but what does that mean? Is it like the magic of a freshly opened keg?
Hop BroPretty much. It means the keg was just put on line, so the aroma comes through well and you can aim for a fresh, bright pour.
MugiI see! Then Bellwoods "MONOGAMY Peacharine" sounds like a total hop-aroma bomb just from the name!
Hop BroExactly. MONOGAMY is a single-hop series, and Peacharine brings a fruity aroma as the core. In short, it feels like an IPA with peachy notes.
MugiGot it! So for bitterness fans, Firestone Walker's "UNION JACK" is the one, right? I'll remember it as West Coast punchy style!
Hop BroAnd there are also CRAFTROCK × riip "Mountain River" and Yokohama Bay × Matuška "Go Czech!", so the range from wit to lager gives you a huge spread for comparison tasting.
MugiIf it's open from 16:00 to 22:30 with beer L.O. at 22:00, then I can go after work! I have a feeling I won't be able to leave after just one beer!
Hop BroExactly. Start with the pale ale to set things up, then finish with the stout. Tonight, let's go with the straight-to-Umeda BUD route!
On March 19, the Umeda beer pub CRAFT BEER BASE BUD shared that day's tap list on Instagram. Business hours were 16:00-22:30 (beer last order 22:00).
The post conveyed the excited feel of the night before the next day's anniversary service, along with a strong showing of guest kegs. The new taps featured labels that were easy to drink and firmly in the classic lane, making for a lineup that will appeal to longtime fans.
The highlights of the day were OYAMA G BEER's "Stout" and Ise Kadoya Beer’s "Pale Ale." The post itself referred to them as "absolute staples," and it was nice to be able to choose between a beer for enjoying solid roasted character and one for savoring a balanced American pale ale.
If hop aroma is your priority, Bellwoods "MONOGAMY Peacharine." If you want the bitter bite of the West Coast, Firestone Walker "UNION JACK." On top of that, collaboration and cross-border taps such as CRAFTROCK × riip "Mountain River" and Yokohama Bay Brewing × Pivovar Matuška "Go Czech!" were also on, giving the bar a wide range of styles to explore in one place.
As its image as an "American-style, authentic beer pub" suggests, BUD's appeal lies in layering in-season guest kegs on top of its core classic styles. It is easy to build a visit whether you want to stop in for one or two beers after work or take your time comparing different pours. For beer fans in Umeda who want to decide clearly what to drink today, this is a highly practical tap update.
