Osaka's Bakushu-ya Pogology unveils a 14-beer tap list to match Golden Week hours
The beer pub "Bakushu-ya Pogology" in Osaka's Chuo Ward shared today's beers on Instagram. Along with a varied lineup centered on IPAs, including Shishigami Oni IPA, Kieta Blanket, and Kind of Gold NITRO ver, it also announced its Golden Week business schedule.
Hop BroBakushu-ya Pogology in Osaka's Andojimachi has dropped a full tap list for Golden Week. When you see 14 beers lined up, it's the kind of day where you have to think hard about where to start.
MugiWhat, 14 kinds!? If there are that many, I feel like I'd get tipsy before I even decided!
Hop BroThe core is definitely an IPA-centered lineup. Oni Densetsu's Shishigami Oni IPA, plus Kyoto Brewing's Kieta Blanket and Fruit Life, are all there in a row, full of aroma and character.
MugiWhat is that! I hear about IPA a lot, but does it just mean a highly aromatic beer? Is it only about bitterness?
Hop BroExactly. In broad terms, it's a style where hop aroma takes center stage, and bitterness is part of the appeal too. They also have gogoshima beer farm's Iyokan IPA z, so the citrusy aroma should be easy to pick up and drink.
MugiOhhh! So it's the kind of place where you can play around with aroma. And the name Fruit Life already makes it sound delicious - that's unfair!
Hop BroAnd it's not just flashy stuff either. It's pretty cool that they even have DOGFISH HEAD x OXBOW x SHIGA KOGEN's Kind of Gold and a NITRO ver. When it's poured with nitrogen gas, the mouthfeel becomes finer and smoother, giving it a soft, fluffy drinkability.
MugiWait, a beer that feels fluffy!? You mean the foam is gentler? That sounds kind of like fancy pudding!
Hop BroPretty close. It gives it a silky mouthfeel. On top of that, there are beers like Minoh Beer's Session Black IPA and Sapporo's Edelpils, so you can choose from a light drink to something richer depending on your mood.
MugiNow I really want to do a tasting comparison course! But is there anything to eat with the beer too?
Hop BroThat's one of Bakushu-ya Pogology's strengths - on noodle day, they even serve pork salt cold ramen. With longer hours during Golden Week, it's a pretty satisfying flow to enjoy the beer first and finish with noodles.
MugiIt's decided! I want to double up on beer and noodles, and I definitely want to go during Golden Week!
