The beer pub "CRAFT BEER BASE leaf" in Grand Green Osaka, Osaka, has announced its tap list for Sunday, April 19. The lineup consists of 10 original house beers and five guest beers, for a total of 15 taps, and it also highlights "leaf" and "MIX JUICY," both of which won double GOLD at KIBA.
Hop BroCRAFT BEER BASE leaf in Grand Green Osaka has rolled out a 15-tap lineup for April 19. Ten house beers plus five guest beers means you can take your time with this one from daytime into the night.
MugiWow, 15 taps? That's a lot! If there were that many, I'd probably get way too excited and want to order all of them!
Hop BroWhat's interesting is that the house side really puts its herbal character front and center. `leaf`, with sage and lemongrass, and `LAVENDER & CHAMOMILE`, with lavender and chamomile, really make the shop's personality come through in the glass.
MugiWait, what! You put sage and lemongrass in beer? That suddenly sounds like herbal tea!
Hop BroYou do, and that's the point. `leaf` is a saison, the kind that layers herbal aroma over a dry finish. Broadly speaking, saison is a farmhouse beer style that lets you enjoy fermentation-driven aroma and a crisp finish, so it's easy to pair with food too.
MugiOhhh! Then I really want to try MIX JUICY too! Just from the name, it sounds like it should be bursting with juice!
Hop BroNice instinct. `MIX JUICY` is the shop's signature hazy IPA, and it's also one of the KIBA double GOLD winners. A hazy IPA is a cloudy IPA that pushes the juiciness of hops to the front, so it tends to appeal to people who care a lot about aroma.
MugiDouble GOLD means it was a KIBA award winner, right? It's like the beer suddenly showed up with a medal!
Hop BroExactly. `leaf` and `MIX JUICY` both won double GOLD. It's impressive when the shop's headline beers are recognized like that. And with new releases like `Hop Schema 057 Nectaron` in the mix, the lineup balances experimentation and reliability really well.
MugiThe guest beers are interesting too. Going from lager to wheat wine is such a wide range, isn't it? It's practically a travel catalog for the beer world!
Hop BroExactly. Since you've got `Bay Pilsner`, `Vienna Lager`, `RODENBACH CLASSIC`, and `Wheat Wine 2023` all on the board, style comparison is the fun part. In Osaka, being able to eat and compare aroma, acidity, and everything else side by side is unbeatable.
MugiJust hearing that makes me hungry! If it's easy to use from daytime into the night, I want to start with lunch, relax into a few drinks, and stay all the way until just before midnight!
