Hop BroThe 11th-anniversary celebration at CRAFT BEER BASE BUD in Umeda, announced for 3/20-21, sounds really interesting.
MugiWait, so you can drink the commemorative beer Gentle Lion in the basement 2 of Osaka Ekimae No. 1 Building?!
Hop BroYes, the brewery is of course CRAFT BEER BASE BUD, and while the style details haven’t been disclosed this time, it seems to be centered on a dry, hoppy design.
MugiWhat?! How is a style even decided in the first place? I’m already lost just from the name!
Hop BroBroadly speaking, it’s like a blueprint for mouthfeel and aroma that organizes the flavor direction, so even at first glance it makes the beer easier to imagine.
MugiWow, and the food is special fried chicken with guava sauce? That’s a lot of information, and my stomach reacted first!
Hop BroThey make the chicken breast juicy, build in umami with a mango-and-ginger marinade, and aim for synergy by matching it against Gentle Lion’s hop character.
MugiWait, and then guava vinaigrette too? That’s a tropical fruit follow-up attack. The fried chicken is turning into a resort!
Hop BroThat’s the clever part: the beer’s dry body washes away the oil from the fried food, while the fruity bridge ties together the strawberry-like aroma and green aftertaste.
MugiJust hearing that makes my mouth go into beer standby... I can already see the endless loop of 'cut the oil, then take another sip'!
Hop BroDoing this in such an easy-to-use location is very BUD, isn’t it? It really feels like serious pairing in an underground mall.
MugiIt’s decided! Hop-nii and I both want to raise a glass in Umeda right away during the two days of the 11th anniversary!
CRAFT BEER BASE BUD (Basement 2, Osaka Ekimae No. 1 Building, Umeda, Kita Ward, Osaka City) has released event information for its 11th anniversary. According to the post, the anniversary event is scheduled for “3/20-21.” The main attraction will be the event-exclusive anniversary beer, “Gentle Lion.”
The food served alongside it will be “special fried chicken with guava vinaigrette sauce.” The description says it uses juicy, umami-rich chicken breast, and by combining mango juice and ginger in the marinade, it is designed to create synergy when paired with a hop-forward beer. It also pairs a guava vinaigrette in order to echo Gentle Lion’s strawberry-like fruitiness and green finish.
This pairing, which cuts through the oil of fried food with the beer’s dry body while bridging fruity nuances, is highly worth trying for craft beer fans. BUD is an easy-to-use spot in the Umeda area for everyday visits, yet through its tap lineup and food construction it properly lets guests experience the fun of comparing drinks. The 11th anniversary milestone looks set to be the two days when the shop’s strengths come through most clearly.
