In the latest tap list released on March 9 by Craft Beer Bar Marciero, a beer pub in Doyama-cho, Kita Ward, Osaka City, eight carefully balanced beers with distinct drinking profiles are on offer.

The beers announced as "today's new taps" are Michinoku Fukushimaji Beer’s "Lemon White Ale" and Shiga Kogen Beer’s "Indian Summer Saison." The former is a beer that layers a lemon nuance over the soft character derived from wheat, while the latter is built to deliver the dry finish typical of a saison, making it an easy starting point for a side-by-side tasting.

In addition, the lineup spans domestic and overseas breweries alike, including Falo Brewing’s "Tsubame Draft," FARMENTRY’s "No.10 KANNAZUKI IPA," FARMENTRY x MAHOWBREW’s "Song of the Twin Roots," Burnt Mill’s "Crimson Highway," Varietal’s "Trelishead," and Trap Door Brewing’s "TANG." The styles are also broad, covering Wheat Ale, Saison, Draught, American IPA, Oatcream IPA, Red IPA, West Coast IPA, and Hazy IPA.

If you want to start with something light, the white ale or saison is the way to go; if you're after a stronger hop character, you can move on to the various IPAs. For anyone looking to settle in and enjoy craft beer in the Umeda area, this tap update is one whose appeal lies in the sheer breadth of choices.
