YELLOW APE CRAFT opens five taps for Ape Brewing's 4th anniversary
YELLOW APE CRAFT in Osaka's Kitahama district posted its tap update on Instagram, announcing five beers on draft for Ape Brewing's 4th anniversary celebration. The lineup spans wheat beer, pilsner, Italian-style pils, IPA, and a house collaboration.
Hop BroToday the buzz is at YELLOW APE CRAFT in Kitahama, Osaka, where five fresh taps are pouring for Ape Brewing's 4th anniversary.
MugiWhat! A 4th anniversary party with five kegs at once? My excitement just got tapped too!
Hop BroThe lineup is the fun part: Minamishinshu Beer's Alps Weizen, Minoh Beer's Pilsner, Shiga Kogen Beer's Italian-style Pils, ISEKADO's Rush Hop IPA, and even Tege Lemofuru.
MugiHold on, Italian-style pils? How is it Italian and Shiga Kogen at the same time? That beer needs a passport.
Hop BroEasy way to think about it: it's a dry-hopped lager. You get crisp pilsner snap, then a soft layer of hop aroma on top.
MugiOhh! So from a soft weizen to a bitter IPA, it's a great tasting lineup for comparing styles?
Hop BroExactly. You've got easygoing lager styles and hop-driven beers too, so the range is wide. And having a collab beer with the shop's name on it is a nice flex.
MugiAnd that YELLOW APE CRAFT x Miyazaki Hideji Beer one already sounds like a lemony kind of pint. I am dangerously weak to limited stuff like that.
Hop BroThe place usually keeps around 20 draft beers, and it's such a tight little room that it's basically a conversation-first bar. If you bring four people, the all-you-can-drink course works too.
Hop BroWith this lineup, I'd make Minoh's pilsner my first pour, then finish with Tege Lemofuru.
MugiApproved! This is officially a Kitahama bar-hop candidate, and now I want to taste all five taps immediately.
YELLOW APE CRAFT, the craft-beer pub in Osaka's Kitahama area, shared its tap update on Instagram. The post noted Ape Brewing's 4th anniversary celebration and announced five beers on draft: Alps Weizen / Minami Shinshu Beer, Pilsner / Minoh Beer, Italian Style Pils / Shiga Kogen Beer, Rush Hop IPA / Isekadoya Beer, and Tege Remofull / YELLOW APE CRAFT x Miyazaki Hideji Beer.
The lineup covers a broad range of styles, from wheat beer and pilsner to Italian-style pils and IPA. That makes it easy to choose something light and crisp, or something more hop-forward and aromatic, depending on the moment. The house collaboration beer, Tege Remofull, is especially notable as a beer unique to the bar.
YELLOW APE CRAFT positions itself as a beer bar, restaurant, and bottle shop, with around 20 draft beers available on a rotating basis. The venue is compact, designed for casual drinking and conversation rather than a spacious lounge feel. For beer fans in Osaka who want to sample a varied draft list in a lively neighborhood setting, it is an appealing stop.
The bar also offers all-you-can-drink craft beer courses: one with all draft beers for 6,000 yen and another with 10 beers for 5,000 yen. Course meals include appetizers, salad, fried dishes, crostini with anchovy and cheese, jerk chicken, and pasta of the day. Reservations are required for groups of four or more by the day before.
