YELLOW APE CRAFT Refreshes Its Tap List with Three New Arrivals
YELLOW APE CRAFT, a beer pub in Imahashi, Osaka, has updated its tap list with three new arrivals: Yura Hassaku Wheat Ale, NEKO NIHIKI, and Summer IPA. The lineup also spans lagers, saisons, IPAs, strong ales, and fruit-forward beers.
Hop BroIn Imabashi, Osaka, YELLOW APE CRAFT has more than 20 taps ready for autumn. Three new kegs make this a seriously tempting night.
MugiWhat? More than 20 taps? Won’t we hit closing time before I finish reading the menu?!
Hop BroThe newcomers are Nomcraft’s Yura Hassaku Wheat Ale, Isekado’s NEKO NIHIKI, and Faction Brewing’s Summer IPA. Those are the headline pours.
MugiHassaku is a citrus fruit, right? And wheat ale—does that mean beer that tastes like bread?
Hop BroIt uses wheat malt, which often gives beer a softer texture. Pair that with citrus-like notes from Yura Hassaku, and you get a refreshing first-pint candidate.
MugiOoh, perfect for starting! But Summer IPA in autumn—is that allowed?!
Hop BroAbsolutely. IPA is all about hop aroma and bitterness, and this one is a chance to enjoy distinct hop character. Seasons are free inside a glass.
MugiHop character sounds like a job review! “Bright aroma, excellent bitterness teamwork.” What should I notice in hop aroma?
Hop BroLook for impressions like citrus, pine, or tropical fruit. You can compare it with Osaru IPA and Novoru, too.
MugiThere’s Yebisu lager, 04 Kölsch, and lighter fruity options too… too many choices! My stomach is calling an emergency meeting!
Hop BroTry lighter beers first, then move into IPA, and finish slowly with Daisen G Beer’s wheat wine. That richer, stronger style makes a great finale.
MugiIt’s a compact, roughly 25-seat house tucked between buildings. Small tasting pours there sound like the perfect detour after work!
Hop BroIt opens from 3 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday at 2-4-9 Imabashi. Taps rotate, so check the list and find tonight’s perfect pour.
MugiDeal! Do we start with Yura Hassaku or dive into Summer IPA? Ahh, which one first?!
