Nomcraft Juzo Taproom Unveils 15 Taps, Including BrewBeast and CAMOSI
Nomcraft Juzo Taproom shared its tap list in an Instagram post on April 17. In addition to NOMCRAFT's staple lagers and IPAs, the lineup includes a collaboration with Kyoto Beer Lab as well as BrewBeast and CAMOSI BREWING, for a total of 15 taps.
Hop BroOsaka's Juso just got a full 15-tap reveal. Nomcraft Juzo Taproom dropped its tap list on April 17, and with house beers at the core plus guest brews mixed in, it's a lineup built for serious side-by-side tasting.
MugiWhoa! Fifteen beers on tap? I feel lost already just looking at the menu! And being near the station in Juso is almost unfair, since it's so easy to swing by.
Hop BroIf you're starting with the essentials, you'd want NOMCRAFT LAGER and NOMCRAFT IPA. Then you've got JUSO XPA, KNIGHT FISHERMAN, MYSTIC TIGER, and DOUBLE NOMCRAFT IPA, so you can see the flow from lager all the way to double IPA.
MugiHold on, all the way to double IPA? I know IPA, but that name sounds way too intense! It's like a beer that already lives at the gym.
Hop BroSimply put, IPA styles tend to lean harder into hops and alcohol strength. XPA is lighter and more refreshing, while double IPA stacks on even more hops and gets richer, which makes the progression easy to understand when you drink through them.
MugiOhhh! So it's a fun comparison tasting! If you go from light to heavy, your palate gets to go on an adventure.
Hop BroAnd the standout is IRISH STOUT -Nitro ver., a collaboration with Kyoto Beer Lab. Nitro uses nitrogen gas, which tends to create finer foam and a creamier mouthfeel.
MugiWhat! Creamy foam? That sounds almost dessert-like even though it's beer! Dark, but gentle? That's kind of unfair.
Hop BroThe guest beers are strong too. BrewBeast from Iwate has six beers on the board, covering Pale Ale, Hazy IPA, DDH Juicy DIPA, IPL, Fruit Wood Sour Ale, and Fruit Stout. CAMOSI BREWING's Dry & Heavy / Hazy IPA is in there as well, so you can see how different IPA styles can be.
MugiWait, you mean the same IPA family but totally different worlds? Today is basically a meeting of aroma people, bitterness people, and juicy people all at once!
Hop BroAnd since tomorrow is the first anniversary main event, the right move is to visit early before the crowds build up. If you can stop by Juso and pick up a glass of the house beers plus a few regional specialties, that's ideal.
MugiYeah, I want to drink this right now! If I go through the lineup at Nomcraft Juzo Taproom from Lager to Hazy IPA in order, I'll probably be grinning all the way home.
The brewpub "Nomcraft Juzo Taproom" in Juzo, Osaka, announced its latest tap list in an Instagram post on April 17. Centered on house-brewed NOMCRAFT beers and rounded out with guest brewery selections, it's an easy-to-understand lineup for beer fans who want to compare different pours.
All 15 beers on tap that day included a wide range from lager to double IPA. From NOMCRAFT, there were the crisp "NOMCRAFT LAGER," the classic "NOMCRAFT IPA," the citrusy "JUSO XPA," "KNIGHT FISHERMAN," which evokes layered hop character, and the rich "MYSTIC TIGER" and "DOUBLE NOMCRAFT IPA." In addition, "IRISH STOUT -Nitro ver.-" was introduced as a collaboration with Kyoto Beer Lab.
The guest lineup was just as strong. BrewBeast from Iwate brought in "BEASTIE," "IMPACT," "COLD WAVE," "LIGHTNING," "REINDEER," and "ECLIPSE," spanning styles such as Pale Ale, Hazy IPA, DDH Juicy DIPA, IPL, Fruit Wood Sour Ale, and Fruit Stout. CAMOSI BREWING from Fukuoka also appeared with "Dry & Heavy / Hazy IPA," making it easy to compare the differences in expression even within the IPA family.
As a brewpub conveniently located near Juso Station, what makes this place interesting is that you can start with the house beers and then sample the character of breweries from other regions. The post also noted that the following day would be the first anniversary main event, and urged visitors to plan ahead since the taproom was expected to be busy. Because the draft lineup changes quickly here, it seems best to visit early if there is a beer you're interested in.
