YELLOW APE CRAFT Updates Tap List for May 13, 16 Selections Including New 'Juicy Drop'
The beer pub YELLOW APE CRAFT in Kitahama, Osaka, has released its tap list for May 13, 2026. It includes one new tap and a broad lineup ranging from standard lagers to IPAs, dark beers, and collaboration brews, making it ideal to enjoy with a meal.
Hop BroToday's topic is YELLOW APE CRAFT's 16-beer update. The May 13 taps include the new 'Juicy Drop,' making it a wide lineup that fits the Kitahama beer pub vibe.
MugiWhoa, 16 is a lot! If there's a new one too, I feel like I'd freeze at the table trying to decide what to order!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. You've got Yebisu and the limited Ignition for lagers, Heisei Banana and Adhadri for weizens, and even a Hazy IPA in the IPA lineup, so the flavor map is broad.
MugiWhat! Hazy IPA? Is that the foggy kind? Even the name sounds fluffy!
Hop BroExactly. The haze and hop-driven juiciness tend to come forward. And with collaborations like 'GO SMALL WAVE ~A wave like this is easy with a butterfly stroke~,' the playful spirit is full-on.
MugiHuh, the collab name is long, but it's the kind you still want to remember. I'm curious about the atmosphere of the place too.
Hop BroIt's a standalone beer pub in Kitahama, Osaka, with a calm interior designed by graf, and about 25 seats so it's good whether you just drop by or settle in.
MugiWait, and it's non-smoking with Wi-Fi! That's the kind of place where you mean to have just one after work and end up on your second before you know it!
Hop BroThe food is strong too. There's caprese, jerk chicken, ajillo, and even pot-au-feu, and they pair well with stout or yuzu tripel, so pairing is the main event.
MugiThat's perfect! If you can do beer and food at the same time, today's plan to 'just have a light drink' is totally going to fall apart!
Hop BroAnd then you're stuck deciding whether to finish with a dark stout or go after a juicy IPA. They've even got the new Juicy Drop, so this is dangerous.
MugiYep, impossible! I'd want a drink right now, and facing these 16 taps in Kitahama, we'd definitely be smiling while we can't decide!
YELLOW APE CRAFT updated its tap list for May 13. Known as a standalone beer pub in Kitahama, Osaka, the shop offers a compact space with about 25 seats and a calm interior designed by graf. The interior is non-smoking, and Wi-Fi is available, so it works whether you want to stop in for just one drink after work or spend time over a meal.
The day's lineup includes 16 beers, including one new tap. The lagers are Yebisu (Sapporo Beer) and the limited Ignition (Hop Kotan Brewing). The weizen-style beers are Heisei Banana (Hino Brewing) and Adhadri (Be Easy Brewing). The ales include 'Cho, Latte yo! Real Ale Ver' (Ushitora Brewery), 'From Scratch' (Shiga Kogen Beer), and 'Kinoni Pale Ale Mosaic Single Ver' (Oni Densetsu Beer), plus the collaborations 'Tegeremofuru' (YELLOW APE CRAFT x Miyazaki Hideji Beer) and 'Viburnum' (Vertere x Inkhorn Brewing).
In the IPA section, the bar has 'Tohoku 6 Hop - Hazy IPA' (Be Easy Brewing), 'Falò IPA' (Falò Brewing), and 'Code Breaker' (Trademark Brewing). It also features YELLOW APE CRAFT x APE BREWING's 'GO SMALL WAVE ~A wave like this is easy with a butterfly stroke~', and the new 'Juicy Drop' (Hansharo Beer) has been tapped. The dark beer is Stout (Minoh Beer), and for a stronger pour there is also Yuzu Tripel (Minoh Beer).
The food menu includes caprese, jerk chicken, ajillo, and pot-au-feu, all of which pair well with beer. The breadth of the taps and the convenience of having food are the shop's strengths, and that approach is still clearly on display as of May 13.
