Fructus Sakaba's April 23 Tap List Features CRAFTROCK and Four Other Beers
In its April 23 post, the beer pub Fructus Sakaba in Honmachi, Osaka, thanked guests who came in for lunch despite the rain and introduced the day's draft craft beers and food. Referencing the buzz around the World Beer Cup, the piece conveys the atmosphere of a place where you can enjoy curry by day and a drink at the bar in the evening.
Hop BroFructus Sakaba in Honmachi, Osaka had a pretty hot rainy-day tap list on April 23, didn't it?
MugiWhoa! Even in the rain, it was that lively? I like that it even wrote about thanking people for coming in!
Hop BroExactly. It even nods to the World Beer Cup buzz while neatly lining up the personality of four beers.
MugiWhat does that even mean? IPA and pale ale still feel kind of fuzzy to me in terms of how they drink!
Hop BroTo put it simply, IPA is hop-forward, fruit styles play with fruitiness, and pale ale is moderately light and crisp.
MugiI see! So Alternative IPA sounds like it has a bit of a twist just from the name?
Hop BroExactly. When you line up CRAFTROCK BREWING's Alternative IPA, HINO BREWING's Heisei Banana, Y.MARKET BREWING's Yellow Sky Pale Ale, and Nara Brewing's Kabel, the range of flavors is fun.
MugiWow, even the names make me hungry! And a sweetfish pate simmered in red wine on the food menu? That's suddenly way too stylish.
Hop BroThat's Fructus Sakaba's strength. They even suggest eating it spread on homemade focaccia, and for lunch there's Spanish mackerel and bonito-flake curry, so you can stop by for one drink at night too.
MugiBeing able to use a place like that in the Utsubo Park area is amazing! Today I'm already in the mood for a curry-by-day, beer-by-night flow!
In its April 23 post, the beer pub Fructus Sakaba in Honmachi, Osaka, thanked customers who came in for lunch despite the rain. The caption also touched on the news that Japanese breweries continued to win awards at the World Beer Cup, naming CRAFTROCK BREWING, Nara Brewing, Minoh Beer, and REPUBREW.
The draft beers visible in the embedded post that day were the following four beers:
- Alternative IPA / CRAFTROCK BREWING
- Heisei Banana / HINO BREWING
- Yellow Sky Pale Ale / Y.MARKET BREWING
- Kabel / Nara Brewing
The first item on the tap list could not be confirmed by name in the embedded display, but even the rest of the lineup clearly shows a range of drinking styles, from IPA to fruit Weizen, fruit pale ale, and Oktoberfest. It is an easy-to-build lineup for both people who want to keep the drinks flowing and those who want to choose something to match the food.
On the food side, the shop was featuring a pate of sweetfish simmered in red wine. The post also suggested spreading it on homemade focaccia. In addition to the beer, the snacks are just as thoughtfully put together. For lunch, they were also serving a Spanish mackerel and bonito-flake curry. The shop's clear appeal is that you can stop by for a meal during the day and then spend the evening centered around craft beer.
Fructus Sakaba is a standing bar in the Utsubo Park area where people can drop in without feeling self-conscious. From lunch service on a rainy day, the post also shows how easy it is to carry the experience straight into an evening drink.
