CRAFT BEER BASE BUD Releases 4/8 Tap List: Gentle Lion and 10 Other Beers
Osaka-Umeda beer pub CRAFT BEER BASE BUD has published its tap list for 4/8. Alongside its house-brewed Gentle Lion and leaf, the lineup also features 12 Da Capo, JELLY KING, Black Gates, and more.
Hop BroOsaka-Umeda's 4/8 tap list from CRAFT BEER BASE BUD is interesting again. Centered on their house brews Gentle Lion and leaf, it features a pretty wide-ranging cast.
MugiWhoa! Gentle Lion sounds fierce just from the name, but what kind of beer is it?
Hop BroGentle Lion is a Modern American Pale Ale, with bright aroma but an easy-drinking finish. leaf is also house-brewed, so you can really get a sense of this bar's character right away.
MugiWhat is that? It's a traffic jam of styles, isn't it? Köln Style Kölsch, Altbier... just reading the names is enough to get tipsy!
Hop BroThat's the fun part: 12 Da Capo is a Köln Style Kölsch, and Album is a Düsseldolf Style Altbier. Even among German styles, they each have distinct characters, with lightness and maltiness in different places.
MugiHuh. Then what kind of beer is JELLY KING? The name is cute, but it feels like one of those 'cute face, strong punch' beers!
Hop BroBellwoods' JELLY KING is a Dry Hopped Sour Ale. It layers hop aroma over a sour base, so it's much more expressive than it looks.
MugiOh, Black Gates is intriguing too! Cascadian Dark Ale is the black beer that still brings the hops, right?
Hop BroExactly. The combo of roast and hops in something like Georgetown's Black Gates is great. And with a West Coast IPA and a Czech Style Pale Lager in the mix, it's fun to start with the lighter options.
MugiAnd No. 6 is Coming Soon, so even the open slot feels like part of the show! Isn't that the kind of thing that makes you want one more while you wait?
Hop BroExactly. There's also a Finback plan on 4/12, and Darkpyramid and BA Blueberry Drip are the ones to watch. In the basement of the station-front building, it's the perfect flow: tasting side by side today, then a different glass tomorrow.
MugiThis lineup in Umeda is almost unfair! From a single beer after work to a full-on tasting session, it makes you want to stop by tonight already!
CRAFT BEER BASE BUD in Osaka-Umeda posted its tap list for 4/8 (Thu) on Instagram. The shop is a classic American-style beer pub located in the basement level of Osaka Station Front Building No. 1, and once again its wide-ranging selection of styles stands out.
The lineup for the day is built around the house-brewed "CRAFT BEER BASE×Matt Brynildson / Gentle Lion : Modern American Pale Ale" and "CRAFT BEER BASE / leaf : CRAFT BEER BASE," with a broad spread of styles including "Y.Market / 12 Da Capo : Köln Style Kölsch," "Bellwoods / JELLY KING : Dry Hopped Sour Ale," and "Georgetown / Black Gates : Cascadian Dark Ale." Also on tap are "Swanlake, Yamorido, Heiwa Craft, KaruizawaQ / Album : Düsseldolf Style Altbier," "Trademark / Ocean Thunder : West Coast IPA," "Sante Adairius Rustic Ales / Summer Sapling : Hoppy Belgian Blonde," and "Flora Fermentation / Golem : Czech Style Pale Lager," making for an easy-to-navigate selection ranging from light beers to aromatic IPAs, tart sours, and lagers.
Of the ten taps, No. 6 is listed as "Coming Soon...!!," showing that the lineup is being rotated in practice. The latter half of the post also mentions a Finback Brewery feature on 4/12, with "Darkpyramid" and "BA Blueberry Drip" highlighted as notable beers. Either way, these are tap updates that anyone wanting to enjoy the full range of beer styles will want to watch.
A spot in Umeda that works well whether you want one beer after work or a more serious tasting session. Being underground in a station-front building also makes it easy to stop by no matter the weather.
