The shop presents itself as a place to enjoy not just beer, but also music, conversation, and atmosphere, and it is also planning a "Ginshari-kai" event on May 30.
Hop BroSo, Osaka's torne_craftbeer newly tapped Shiga Kogen Beer's `Porter` in its May 28 update.
MugiHuh, is a Porter black? The name already sounds intense, but what kind of beer is it!
Hop BroExactly. It's a robust porter, and the malt character built on British `Maris Otter` is the star here.
MugiMaris... otter? Wait, if you say malt base, my head is already steaming, Hop!
Hop BroPut simply, it has a solid malt backbone. On top of that, chocolate and coffee notes drift through, but it still isn't too heavy and drinks with a calm balance.
MugiOhhh! I thought maybe it would feel dessert-like, but the fact that it pairs with grilled dishes is a cool surprise!
Hop BroAnd the post even brought up mapo tofu. A porter that goes well with mapo tofu is pretty bold, right?
MugiWhat is that! Spicy food and dark beer together sounds like a party starting in your mouth. The snack power is way too high!
Hop BroThat's what `torne_craftbeer` is like: it's a beer pub where you enjoy not just drinking, but also the music and conversation in the atmosphere.
MugiAnd on May 30 there's a Ginshari-kai, right? Bringing your own rice bowl and chopsticks is like putting all your energy into rice, and I love it!
Hop BroThe fun of this place is that you can follow the beer, the food, and the events all at once. One drink in Tenroku really makes you want two today.
MugiYeah, yeah, first `Porter`, then white rice at the Ginshari-kai. I want to drink now, I want to eat now, and my stomach is already busy!
The beer pub `torne_craftbeer` in Sakaemachi, Kita Ward, Osaka, published its tap list in an update on May 28. This time, there was just one new tap, and the selection was Shiga Kogen Beer's `Porter`. The post describes it as a robust porter with a roasted character built on premium British malt `Maris Otter`, aromas reminiscent of chocolate and coffee, and a calm, easygoing drinking profile. It also pairs well with grilled dishes, and the post even mentioned mapo tofu by name as a recommended match.
The lineup for the day brought together beers with very different personalities.
- `Porter` / Shigakogen Beer
- `Helles The Circle` / Mojiko Retro Beer, Minoh Beer, torne
- `Nara Crush` / Choryo Craft Beer, Barebottle Brewing
- `Ryukyu Pride nitro ver.` / Mahowbrew
- `Bearded Barbet` / Inkhorn Brewing, Titans, Tokyo Aleworks
- `Excursions nitro ver.` / Wu-Chaw-Teng Brew

`torne_craftbeer` is not just a place to drink beer, but the kind of beer pub where you enjoy music, conversation, and the atmosphere too. Even from the tone of the post, you can feel the shop's relaxed, easygoing warmth as a place to linger over a glass.
In addition, a "Ginshari-kai" event is scheduled again for May 30. It's an event where white rice takes center stage, and the post says to bring your own rice bowl and chopsticks, with plenty of side dishes that go well with rice also being prepared. Being able to follow both tap updates and food events at the same time is exactly the kind of fun this shop seems to offer.
The schedule continues after that as well, with event announcements lined up for June 6, June 11, June 14, and later in June. From a standard pint to collaborations and food events, it looks like this will be a week and a half worth paying attention to for anyone who wants to take their time enjoying beer in Tenroku.
