Hop BroAt PEDROLINO in Osaka, FLORA FERMENTATION's Golem has been newly tapped. Even the flow of pairing it with springlike bamboo shoot dishes makes this a pretty uplifting topic.
MugiWait, beer with bamboo shoots!? Pairing spring ingredients sounds so stylish my brain can't keep up!
Hop BroAnd Golem isn't just any lager. It's a Czech-style pilsner, made with floor-malted malt and finished with decoction brewing, right in the classic style.
MugiDecoction? Floor-malted? There are way too many words that sound like spells all of a sudden!
Hop BroSimply put, it's a brewing method that brings out the sweetness and depth of the malt by carefully managing the malt's temperature and how it is boiled. So even though it drinks lightly, it still has real depth.
MugiI see! So it's not just crisp and clean. If it has refined bitterness, it should go really well with a bamboo shoot appetizer!
Hop BroExactly. And the draft lineup is very much PEDROLINO's style. You've got KLO-03 Kölsch, Dark Nichelada amber ale, and Winter Lambic straight lambic all on tap.
MugiA Kölsch, a lambic, and a nichelada!? The range of beers is in total traffic jam mode!
Hop BroThe stock list is strong too. They've got Hanami Gose, UNDERWATER, Charcoal-Grilled MILD ALE, and Mountain Beach, so it feels like you can travel from lager all the way to sour styles in one go.
MugiIt's amazing that a place serving Italian food has such a broad lineup! The fact that it works for drinking alone or for a meal makes it feel pretty ideal.
Hop BroWhen you're going back and forth between spring dishes and guest kegs, it totally makes you feel like you want to go drink there right now.
MugiI know! Bamboo shoots plus Golem sounds amazing! Tonight it's PEDROLINO - there's no choice but to go!
PEDROLINO, located in Andoji-cho, Chuo Ward, Osaka, is a beer pub where you can enjoy Italian dishes made with seasonal ingredients alongside craft beer. In this post, the shop highlights bamboo shoots, a spring ingredient, and a seasonal plate built around them as part of an appetizer assortment, showing the kind of food-and-beer pairing the place does so well.
The main highlight this time is the new tap of Golem (FLORA FERMENTATION / Shiga). A Czech-style pilsner, it is a classic lager brewed with floor-malted malt and finished using decoction mashing. It is described as a straightforward but well-made beer, with a gentle herbal aroma, a light and easy-drinking feel, deep malt sweetness, and refined bitterness.
The beer lineup for the day is also wide-ranging. On draft are KLO-03 (ONEs BREWERY / Osaka), a Kölsch with oregano; Dark Nichelada (LIBUSHI Bashamichi / Kanagawa), an amber ale with lime and jalapeño; and Winter Lambic (Oud Beersel / Belgium), a straight lambic with pine buds.
In addition, the stocked beers include UNDERWATER (Nara Brewing / Nara), a sake yeast ale; Charcoal-Grilled MILD ALE (Shima Brewery / Mie), a mild ale with coffee beans; Hanami Gose (CHORYO / Nara), a fruit gose with pickled cherry blossom and cherries; and Mountain Beach (CRAFT ROCK x riip / Tokyo), a West Coast pilsner.
What makes PEDROLINO interesting is that, while it is centered on Italian food, it spans everything from lager to lambic to gose. It is an easy place to stop in for a quick drink alone or to settle in for a meal, and one that makes you want to enjoy the combination of spring dishes and guest beers.
