CRAFT BEER BASE BUD, Introducing a Tap List Centered on Finback
CRAFT BEER BASE BUD (Umeda, Osaka) posted on April 13 to unveil a tap list built around Finback kegs. The lineup also includes Kyoto Brewing, Hopkotan, and house-brewed beer, making it a strong pick for beer fans who want to enjoy rotating drafts after work.
Hop BroToday, Osaka-Umeda’s Finback-centered tap list is hot. The lineup CRAFT BEER BASE BUD posted on April 13 has a lot to drink through.
MugiWhoa! Finback sounds strong just from the name! Being able to follow the latest on tap feels kind of sophisticated and cool.
Hop BroWhat’s cool is seeing BA Blueberry Drip, Finback IPA, and IF WHALES COULD FLY all together. The range of flavors is huge, and even within the same brewery, the character really changes.
MugiBarrel-aged means it was matured in barrels, right? That sounds almost like wine! Does it have a blueberry vibe too?
Hop BroExactly. It picks up nuances from the wooden barrel. BA Blueberry Drip tends to show deep aging character, and the fruitiness layers in for a slow-building finish.
MugiI see! And it says Hazy DIPA, but DIPA sounds like a spell no matter how many times I hear it! Is it the star of haze?
Hop BroYep, it stands for Double IPA. Hazy has that cloudy look and lets the hop aroma bloom, so it’s a style you enjoy for its explosive aroma.
MugiAnd having Kyoto Brewing’s Disappeared Blanket plus Hopkotan too is just luxurious! With domestic brewers joining in, it feels like a meeting might start right at the taps!
Hop BroAnd the fact that Gentle Lion and vera, both house brews, are in the mix is very BUD. The appeal of house brewing is that the shop’s personality comes through directly in the glass.
MugiWhite miso nikomi tofu with a Hazy Triple IPA? Just hearing that made me hungry! It’s great that they’re thinking about the food pairing too.
Hop BroIn the underground of Umeda, chasing rotating drafts after work is the best. Tonight, I feel like even if you go in planning on just one drink, you won’t be able to leave.
MugiTotally! Finback and the domestic lineup both sound tempting, so this is definitely dangerous! The drink for tonight is already decided!
Tap List for 4/13 (Mon)
CRAFT BEER BASE BUD announced that day’s tap openings in a post on April 13. The shop is a beer pub in the basement level 2 of Osaka Ekimae Daiichi Building, opens at 16:00, and last call for beer is 22:00. Set in the underground Umeda area, it’s an easy place to settle in and enjoy a freshly changed draft at your own pace.
What stands out in this day’s lineup is the Finback-focused selection. From the barrel-aged `BA Blueberry Drip`, the standard `Finback IPA`, the Hazy DIPA `IF WHALES COULD FLY`, `Finback × Glass Pyramid / Dark Pyramid`, and `Finback × Brasserie Lapisse / Live By The Sun & Moon`, the list spans a wide range of flavors from light to intense. With styles ranging from IPA to higher-alcohol options, plus a mixed-culture table beer, there’s real appeal in tasting across the spectrum.
Among the domestic brewers, `Kyoto Brewing / Disappeared Blanket` and `Hopkotan / Symphony` are on tap, along with house-brewed offerings like `CRAFT BEER BASE×Matt Brynildson / Gentle Lion` and `CRAFT BEER BASE / vera`. `Gentle Lion` is introduced as a Modern American Pale Ale, while `vera` is an IPA, and the mix of imported kegs, domestic breweries, and house brewing all sharing the same counter is very much part of BUD’s identity.
The post also mentions pairing white miso nikomi tofu with a Hazy Triple IPA, offering a food-and-beer combination to enjoy together. Rather than flashiness, this is a tap list that draws you in through the breadth of the lineup and the fun of pairing different pours. If you want to keep up with what’s pouring in Umeda right now, this is one to check.
