Craft Beer Market Lucua Osaka taps three beers, including FLORA FERMENTATION
Craft Beer Market Lucua Osaka has newly tapped three beers from FLORA FERMENTATION, Y.Market Brewing, and Gotemba Kogen Beer. Located on the B2F of Lucua Osaka directly connected to Osaka Station, it offers a chance to compare three beers with distinct characters.
Hop BroAt Lucua Osaka B2F in Umeda, they’ve tapped three interesting beers again. Craft Beer Market Lucua Osaka is really putting out a lineup that makes you want to compare.
MugiWhat! Right by the station they’re doing that? Being able to stop by after work is basically a win already, right?
Hop BroFirst up is FLORA FERMENTATION Cascara. It’s a collaboration with Kyoto’s 2050coffee, and because it uses cascara, a byproduct of coffee bean production, it’s not just a dark beer, it also has a fruity side.
MugiCascara, what even is that! Coffee but fruity is making my brain short-circuit!
Hop BroSimply put, it uses ingredients derived from coffee cherries. The base is a Dunkel, so it has a foundation of malt aroma, and then soft sweetness and fruitiness layer on top.
MugiSo it’s dark, but not too heavy! The fact that malt aroma and fruitiness coexist makes me want to try it!
Hop BroNext is Y.Market Brewing DA CAPO. It’s an anniversary Kölsch for Y.Market Brewing Kitchen’s 12th anniversary, and the theme is easygoing drinkability.
MugiKölsch, another unfamiliar one! Is it okay to think of it as a crisp, refreshing beer?
Hop BroExactly. It’s focused more on drinkability than flashiness. It doesn’t get in the way of food, so it’s easy to pair with meals. I like that it’s an anniversary beer without feeling formal or heavy.
MugiThat’s perfect! And the last one, Weizenbock, sounds strong just from the name and gets me excited!
Hop BroThe Gotemba Kogen Beer one balances the softness of wheat with the depth of a bock. Among the three, it has the most substantial body, so it’s suited to people who want to sip and savor.
MugiWow, the range in one place is amazing... This is what the fun of a tasting flight is all about. I want to go to Osaka right now!
Hop BroWith this lineup right next to the station, there’s no reason not to stop in. Today I’d want to take on the three-beer tasting in order: cascara, Kölsch, and Weizenbock.
MugiYeah, same here! Wondering what the next glass will be is exactly what the craft beer rabbit hole feels like!
At Craft Beer Market Lucua Osaka in Umeda, Osaka, the bar has announced three new taps. Located on the B2F of Lucua Osaka, directly connected to JR Osaka Station, it is a beer pub easy to stop by after shopping or work. With a convenient location for casually enjoying craft beer, this latest lineup also features beers with clearly different drinking experiences.
The first highlight is FLORA FERMENTATION Cascara. This collaboration beer with Kyoto’s 2050coffee uses cascara, a material born during the coffee bean production process. Built on the framework of a traditional German Dunkel, it layers coffee-cherry-derived ingredients over a mellow malt aroma, bringing together fruity notes and coffee-like nuances.
The second beer is Y.Market Brewing DA CAPO. Brewed as the 12th anniversary beer for Y.Market Brewing Kitchen, this Kölsch is designed around the idea of being so light and easy to drink that you want another glass. It promises a crisp finish with a cohesive flavor worthy of an anniversary release, and it should pair well with food.
And then there is Gotemba Kogen Beer Weizenbock. This style combines the soft texture derived from wheat malt with the depth characteristic of a bock, making it ideal for anyone looking for a beer with substantial body. Among the three taps, it is the most full-bodied and is the kind of beer you would want to savor slowly.
The shop is appealing as a city beer pub where craft beer tasting is easy to enjoy and easy to incorporate into everyday life. These three beers span very different directions: an experimental beer using coffee-derived ingredients, a light Kölsch, and a hearty Weizenbock. That makes this lineup a good fit for anyone who wants to sample a wide range of flavors in one place.
