On April 18, Osaka Shibutani Beer held a special tasting session at FOOD BASE CAMP in Chayamachi, Osaka. The lineup included Tachibana Gold, Yuzu Weizen, Sansho Ale, and Kawachi no Ale, with samples offered until 3:00 p.m.
Hop BroToday's topic is the Osaka Shibuya Bakushu tasting. On April 18 they poured four beers at FOOD BASE CAMP in Chayamachi.
MugiWait, a market in Chayamachi doing craft beer samples? That's one way to turn grocery shopping into a beer fest!
Hop BroAnd the four-beer lineup was solid: Tachibana Gold, Yuzu Weizen, Sansho Ale, and Kawachi no Ale.
MugiHold on, three Kawachi no Ale versions? Did one beer suddenly clone itself?
Hop BroNot clones, just style differences. IPA, Pale Ale, and Weizen gave people bitter-and-aromatic, balanced, and soft wheat-driven options.
MugiOhh, so what is a Weizen was exactly the question on my face. Soft and wheaty sounds way less scary than the name!
Hop BroExactly, and the setup made aroma comparisons easy, so the yuzu brightness and the sharp sansho character really stood out.
MugiWow, yuzu and sansho beer at a food market in Osaka? My snack-goblin brain would lose all self-control.
Hop BroOsaka Shibuya Bakushu is a microbrewery in Fujii-dera, and they really build local ingredients and Osaka character into the beer.
MugiSo a microbrewery means a small-scale brewery? Tiny building, huge flavor kind of deal?
Hop BroThat's basically it. They also talk about a lineage from 1872, carrying on the old Shibutani Beer tradition from Osaka.
MugiThat makes it feel special. On an everyday store floor, you're not just tasting beer, you're tasting local history.
Hop BroThe tasting ran until 3 p.m., and the brewery even closed for the event. Hearing that serious event commitment makes me want a pint too.
MugiSame, I need a glass right now! You take the Sansho Ale, I'll grab the Yuzu Weizen, and we'll open a tiny FOOD BASE CAMP in our heads.
