Hop BroAt CRAFT BEER BASE leaf in Osaka, the March 18 tap update brought together 15 beers from Japan and abroad all at once. This is definitely a tasting round.
MugiWhat! Fifteen is way too many, right!? Just seeing 10 original taps + 5 guest taps is enough to get me hyped!
Hop BroAnd the strong point is the spread of styles, from saison to lambic. It is a lineup that lets you take a flavor journey at a single venue.
MugiWhat is that! Lambic sounds suddenly hard! What even is lambic?!
Hop BroTo put it simply, lambic is a spontaneously fermented ale that uses wild yeasts, bringing out acidity and complexity. It is an adult beer with depth.
MugiOhh! Then I want something gentle first! Ikeda Mikan Wit sounds citrusy and easy to get into!
Hop BroGood choice. From there, comparing the hop design differences with MIX JUICY 012 and Hop Scheme057 Nectaron opens up the world of aroma all at once.
MugiI want to drink just from the names! Even the guests, Taiyo no Lager and Ashanti, are like a roller coaster between the classic and the unique!
Hop BroAnd it is on the 2nd floor of the North Building at Grand Green Osaka, so it is easy to stop by after work, and I am really curious about the sweets-linked project they mentioned in the post too.
MugiIt is decided! Let’s do a tasting strategy at leaf today. This is definitely not a one-beer stop!
Hop BroAgreed. Let’s start with leaf : Saison with sage & Lemongrass for a toast, then go all the way to Cantillon for a full tasting course!
