Osaka’s CRAFT BEER BASE leaf releases its 5/27 tap list, with five guest beers including Knot
The beer pub CRAFT BEER BASE leaf on the 2nd floor of the North Building at Grand Green Osaka in Osaka has released its tap list for Wednesday, May 27. In addition to 10 beers brewed in-house, five guest beers from Brasserie Knot, Hoppu Kotan Brewing, and NORTH ISLAND BEER are on the lineup, for a total of 15 taps.
Hop BroToday, CRAFT BEER BASE leaf in Osaka's Umeda is the star. The tap list for May 27 is out, and it's a luxurious 15-tap operation.
MugiWhat, 15 taps!? That's basically a beer conveyor-belt sushi place! It really feels like May 27 only.
Hop BroAnd the lineup is solid. On top of 10 house-brewed beers, there are five guest beers from Brasserie Knot, Hoppu Kotan Brewing, and NORTH ISLAND BEER.
MugiHouse-brewed means the people at the shop make all of it? It suddenly feels like it's directly connected to a brewery, which is confusing but cool!
Hop BroExactly. leaf is a beer pub where you can enjoy its own beers as the main draw. From the citrusy Ikeda Mikan Wit to the standard BLONDE and PALE ALE, it's good at building a smooth flavor progression.
MugiOhhh! But when I hear MIX JUICY 014, it sounds like 100% juice just from the name. And LAVENDER & CHAMOMILE sounds more like a flower shop than beer!
Hop BroThat's what's interesting about it. With the hazy MIX JUICY 014, the aromatic LAVENDER & CHAMOMILE, and even Robust Porter, you can take a one-stop trip from light wheat beer to dark, roast-driven styles.
MugiA trip!? Then I want to go around the world through beer! But what is Robust Porter anyway, some intimidating black beer?
Hop BroIt's black, but not trying to show off its muscles. It's a style that brings out the toasty aroma of roasted malt, and when you pair it with food, it feels just right to finish with.
MugiI see, the kind of beer that shines when you drink it with food! And with hours from 11:00-23:00, it's open long enough that you could stop by from lunch to late night!
Hop BroAnd the food L.O. is 22:00, so the flow for eating while drinking is good too. There are also the fun contrasts of a tasting lineup like Brasserie Knot's Moon and Hoppu Kotan Brewing's Umemi Gachi, so this is definitely the kind of place that makes you want to linger in Umeda.
MugiYeah, with the rich lineup of five guest beers and such a broad house selection, it's fun just choosing! Today, both of us definitely want to go drink now.
On the 2nd floor of the North Building at Grand Green Osaka in Osaka, CRAFT BEER BASE leaf has released its tap list for Wednesday, May 27. Hours are 11:00-23:00, and last order for both food and drinks is 22:00. The draft lineup consists of 10 original beers and 5 guest beers, and, true to the name, it is built around the idea of how well beer and food go together.
Original Beers
The house beers for the day span a wide range, from the citrusy Ikeda Mikan Wit, to the staples BLONDE and PALE ALE, the aromatic LAVENDER & CHAMOMILE, the hazy MIX JUICY 014, Red Ale, Belgian IPA, Anchovy, the spice-layered Wu-Xiang Red Ale, and finishing with the roast-friendly Robust Porter. From a lively white beer to darker, roast-driven styles, it is a lineup that makes it easy to build a drinking flow in one place.
Guest Beers
There are five guest beers. From Brasserie Knot come Moon (Double IPA) and FLOWER (Belgian Wit). From Hoppu Kotan Brewing come Umemi Gachi (Saison with Plum) and MISTY WAY (Hazy IPA). Also on the list is CORIANDER BLACK (Stout w/ Coriander) from NORTH ISLAND BEER. The styles cover a broad range, making it a fun lineup for side-by-side tasting.
leaf is a beer pub in Grand Green Osaka where you can mainly enjoy its own beers, and it also features a bottle shop. The food is designed to pair with beer, making it easy to check the draft flavors alongside a meal.
