CRAFT BEER BASE BUD Reveals April 1 Tap List; SARA's 'Summer Sapling' Also on Tap
The Umeda beer pub CRAFT BEER BASE BUD in Osaka has released its April 1 tap list. Alongside house-made sake-rice-based beers and collaboration IPAs, a total of 10 beers including Firestone Walker and Schneider Weisse will be on offer, and a limited-quantity steamed oyster dish will also begin service.
Hop BroToday, Osaka-Umeda's CRAFT BEER BASE BUD has put out its tap list for April 1. It's a beer pub that also brews its own beer, and this lineup is pretty bold.
MugiWait! April 1 is April Fools' Day, right? But this is legit, isn't it? A total of 10 beers lined up is seriously no joke!
Hop BroExactly, and it's on the basement second floor of Osaka Station Front Building No. 1. Hours are 16:00-22:30, with last call at 22:00, so it's easy to stop by after work.
MugiHey, hey, what's a Modern American Pale Ale? The English is suddenly way too energetic, and my brain is bubbling over!
Hop BroSimply put, it's a pale ale that pushes the hop aroma hard while keeping the drinking experience light and crisp. This time, CRAFT BEER BASE x Matt Brynildson's Gentle Lion fits that lane, and it's the kind of beer that grabs you first with aroma.
MugiI get it! So the Sora Chikinu Yuki BMK3ver. sake-rice yeast style is a rice beer? Is it friends with rice balls?
Hop BroThe idea is similar, but it's more delicate than that. Sake-rice yeast-style beers tend to bring out aromas and mouthfeel that evoke sake, and when you add the playful touch that feels like Umeda's house style, it becomes a really interesting pint.
MugiThat sounds great! And a Setoka Ginjo Beer too? So there's fruit in it as well? The beer world is just too free, and I love it!
Hop BroThat's another highlight. There are citrus sour styles like Choryo x NOMCRAFT's Wakyo AridagawaMikan, and DD4D's "Key to The Next Door Setoka Flash" also lets the character of the ingredients come forward. On top of that, Schneider Weisse's AVENTINUS, Firestone Walker's UNION JACK, and Trap Door x Irrelevant Beer's Sea Change are all on the board, so the range is really broad.
MugiWait, there's even a Hoppy Belgian Blonde? It sounds refined, but with hops in the mix too - just the name makes me want to drink it!
Hop BroExactly. Sante Adairius Rustic Ales' Summer Sapling is a new arrival worth watching, and finishing with NAMACHA Brewing's Nama-chan's Lager sounds great too. And since steamed oysters are starting today as well, one beer probably won't be enough.
MugiWow, it's the perfect spring beer comparison day! If I can snack on oysters while drinking lager and IPA, I want to fly to Umeda right now!
Hop BroLet's go. It's a day where you can taste classic favorites and adventurous twists all at once, and nights like this just get more fun with every glass. This is a tap list that really makes you want to drink.
