CRAFT BEER BASE BUD Publishes March 28 Tap List: From Sake Yeast Beers to IPA and Stout
CRAFT BEER BASE BUD in Umeda, Osaka, has published its tap list for March 28. The lineup features 10 diverse beers, from in-house brewing collaborations and sake yeast beers to ginjo beer, doburoku, West Coast IPA, and barrel-aged stout.
Hop BroToday's topic is the Today’s Tap LIST from Osaka Umeda. It's the 10-item tap list CRAFT BEER BASE BUD released on March 28, and true to form for an authentic American-style beer pub, the range is incredibly broad.
MugiWhoa, 10 beers on tap!? And it's in the second basement floor in Umeda? That's basically a beer secret base.
Hop BroWhat stands out first is CRAFT BEER BASE×Matt Brynildson / Gentle Lion's Modern American Pale Ale. The hop aroma is definitely there, but it doesn't go as wild as an IPA, and the balance on the palate feels great.
MugiWhat do you mean by modern!? It's not even an IPA, but it still has hop character? That's kind of unfair.
Hop BroThat's what's interesting about it. They also have beers brewed with sake yeast, like CRAFT BEER BASE / 空知絵雪 BMK3ver. and 長龍×NOMCRAFT / 和響 AridagawaMikan. When the yeast changes, the aroma and finish take on a gentler Japanese character.
MugiWow, so yeast changes that much. Then does DD4D / Key to The Next Door Setoka Flash, which uses setoka mandarins, basically drink like juice?
Hop BroWhat makes beer interesting is that it doesn't lean that far. 松江ビアへるん×田部竹下酒造 / おろち理八 is a doburoku beer. It brings out the cloudy richness and rice notes, so it's more substantial than it looks.
MugiDoburoku too!? And there's also Firestone Walker / UNION JACK, a West Coast IPA, so the direction suddenly shifts to the U.S. West Coast. That range is wild!
Hop BroAnd alongside that, you've got Yellow Monkey Brewing / GOHOBI IPA, an NZ IPA, plus Finback / BA Marshmallow Drip, a barrel-aged imperial stout. The former is all about the bright character of New Zealand hops, while the latter is led by barrel-derived depth and bittersweet richness.
MugiWait, they even have ginjo beer and BARE BOTTLE / DARK COSMOS, a dark lager!? Today you can hop from light to rich beers all you want.
Hop BroExactly. It's the kind of calm beer pub that's perfect for a slow drinking session near Umeda Station. It's open from 12:00-22:30, with last call at 22:00, so you have to decide whether to go hard from midday or take it easy at night.
MugiI can't handle it anymore, I want to drink from noon. Starting with the Japanese-style beers, then bouncing with an IPA, and finishing by sinking into a stout. It's perfect!
