YELLOW APE CRAFT to Hold a Cherry Blossom Viewing Event at Nantenma Park on April 5
The beer pub YELLOW APE CRAFT in Kitahama, Osaka, has released details of its hanami event. It will be held on Sunday, April 5, from 12:00 to 18:00 at Nantenma Park. At the venue, craft beer will be served from eight taps in rotation, and if it rains, the event is scheduled to be held at Ape Brewing.
Hop BroThe spring must-go event is here: YELLOW APE CRAFT's cherry blossom viewing will be held at Nantenma Park on April 5.
MugiWait, the Osaka shop is doing it outdoors!? Craft beer at a cherry blossom party sounds way too good!
Hop BroThe time is 12:00 to 18:00, and the meeting point is near the tennis courts, after crossing Tenjimbashi and turning right at the police box.
MugiHuh, so "eight-tap rotation" means a tap rotation setup? What is that!
Hop BroExactly. Instead of the same keg staying on one faucet, they keep swapping the kegs inside, so because it's an eight-tap rotation throughout the event, the beers you can encounter change by time of day.
MugiWhoa, that means you can have a different drink in the first half and the second half!? Twice the comparison opportunity!
Hop BroAnd craft beer on draft is the main focus, with sake selected by Mr. Tada too, so I like how it's a draft-beer-centered setup.
MugiHow hard is it to join? I saw the 6,500-yen fee per person, but can you also just drop by for a little while?
Hop BroIt's cash only, but they do accept people for just one drink, non-drinkers are free, children are welcome, food is bring-your-own, and no open flames are allowed, so it's easy to join like a picnic.
MugiWhat happens if it rains? It would be sad to go all the way there and have it canceled, and when do we find out about the weather decision for the day?
Hop BroIf it rains, the event switches to Ape Brewing, and the announcement goes out on social media between 9:00 and 10:00 that morning, so the rainy-day fallback plan is reassuring.
MugiIt's all perfectly organized! I'm going early and staying through the second half, because I want to experience the rotating taps! Hop, come drink with me too!
The beer pub YELLOW APE CRAFT in Imahashi, Osaka, has announced the details of its cherry blossom viewing event on Instagram. According to the post, the venue is, as in previous years, Nantenma Park. After crossing Tenjimbashi and turning right at the police box, the area near the tennis courts is designated as the meeting point.
Drinks on the day will be prepared by the shop. The main highlight is the operational setup in which eight taps are rotated throughout the event. Because the beers poured may change depending on the time of day, one way to enjoy it is to start early and compare different beers, or to come back later and have another glass. The post also says that sake selected by Mr. Tada will be available.
The participation fee is 6,500 yen per person (cash only). On the other hand, the post also notes that they can accommodate people who only want to stop by for a single drink, making it easy for those who cannot join for the full event to swing by. Non-drinkers are free, and children are welcome, which gives the event a broadly open, outdoor-friendly feel.
Food is bring-your-own, and the use of fire is prohibited. Drinks may also be brought in. The event is designed so that people can join with a casual picnic feel, while the main focus remains craft beer.
If it rains, the event will be moved to Ape Brewing. Announcements about the weather decision will be made on each shop's social media accounts on the morning of the event, around 9:00 to 10:00, so it is worth checking before heading out.
As a shop, YELLOW APE CRAFT has long been known in the Kitahama area for its multifaceted approach to draft craft beer. Since it is already known for running many taps in its regular operation, this looks set to be a day where people can experience the fun of a "tapping rotation" outdoors as well.
