YELLOW APE CRAFT announces six beers on tap and a weekend double TTO
YELLOW APE CRAFT, a beer pub in Osaka’s Imahashi area, posted its latest tap update on Instagram. The lineup includes six beers from Falo Brewing, Minoh Beer, Nomcraft, Kyoto Brewing, Sapporo Breweries, and Daisen G Beer. The post also previews a weekend double tap takeover with Daisen G Beer and Camado Brewery.
Hop BroIn Osaka's Imahbashi, YELLOW APE CRAFT just updated today's taps, and the six pours run from IPA and weizen to stout and lager.
MugiWait, six fresh taps at once? That's basically a beer theme park. What are they pouring?
Hop BroCrispy Boy from Falo Brewing, Hoppy Weizen from Minoh Beer, Soloist Azacca from Nomcraft, 11 11 11 from Kyoto Brewing, Yebisu, and Daisen G Beer Imperial Stout 2023. It's a great side-by-side lineup.
MugiHold on, Soloist Azacca sounds like either a beer or a headliner at a summer festival. Which is it?
Hop BroBoth in spirit, but Azacca is the name of a hop. It tends to throw mango and citrus notes, so this one probably pushes hop aroma front and center.
MugiOhhh, so Hoppy Weizen isn't just soft and wheaty, it actually comes in swinging with aroma too?
Hop BroExactly. You keep the fluffy wheat-beer feel, then layer on brighter hops. On the other end, Imperial Stout 2023 from Daisen G Beer is the slow-sipping, dark-and-rich closer.
MugiThat sounds like a stay-up-too-late pour. And the weekend post says Daisen G Beer and Kamado Brewery are doing a TTO too, right? What even is TTO?
Hop BroTTO means Tap Takeover. A brewery basically takes over a bunch of draft lines, so the whole bar starts feeling like its home turf.
MugiSo a double TTO weekend means even the faucets are partying. Okay, that's dangerously convincing.
Hop BroAnd since the shop keeps its Today's Tap List updated and was open until midnight that day, you can actually plan the route: start crisp, finish with stout.
MugiThat's it, I'm in. One stop in Imahbashi is not enough, I want the light opener and the big dessert-beer finish.
