CRAFT BEER BASE leaf Releases 4/18 Tap List, Serving 15 Beers Including House-Brewed Options
At CRAFT BEER BASE leaf, the beer pub on the 2nd floor of North Building at Grand Green Osaka in Osaka, the tap list for April 18 has been announced. The lineup includes 15 draft beers, from house-brewed staples to guest beers such as Yokohama Bay Brewing and RODENBACH.
Hop BroToday, CRAFT BEER BASE leaf on the 2nd floor of the North Building at Grand Green Osaka in Osaka is hot. I grinned the moment I saw the 4/18 tap list.
MugiWhat, they have 15 draft beers!? If there are that many, indecisive me would freeze at the entrance!
Hop BroAnd their house brews are strong. The lineup spans everything from the shop-named "leaf" to BLONDE, PALE ALE, LAVENDER & CHAMOMILE, Nectaron, and Ikeda Mikan Wit.
MugiWait, LAVENDER & CHAMOMILE sounds like the name of a flower, but it's beer!? Not something you put in the bath!?
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting: it's a beer designed with aroma in mind. Like leaf, which uses sage and lemongrass, it's a beer that leans into herbal nuances.
MugiOh, I love that! But Belgian IPA and English IPA sound a little intense just by name...
Hop BroIPA is all about hop aroma and bitterness. The great thing here is the wide range of styles, so you can move from aromatic beers to firmly bitter ones and have fun in order.
MugiThe guest taps are impressive too! There's Yokohama Bay Brewing's Bay Pilsner and Chuckanut Brewery's Vienna Lager, both sound easy to drink!
Hop BroExactly. Then you add Ise Kadoya Brewery's Spring Whisper, RODENBACH CLASSIC, and Daisen G Beer's Wheat Wine 2023, so you can go from light and lively to rich and heavy all in one go.
MugiWheat and wine? What even is that!? A 9% wheat wine already sounds intoxicating from the name alone!
Hop BroIt's a higher-ABV beer made with wheat, and its gently rich character is the appeal. Today makes it easy to set up a tasting starting point, so I'd like to take it slow and work through it with food.
MugiAnd if about 50 kinds of bottles and cans are available for takeout, you can drink at the shop and keep the session going at home! That's amazing!
Hop BroThen the last stop is a careful comparison in Umeda. One drink at leaf today, another from the takeout selection on the way home, and maybe we just make it a beer day.
MugiAgreed! The tap lineup for this day makes my throat start working just looking at it. I want to toast right now!
