CRAFT BEER BASE leaf in Osaka's Grand Green Osaka has released its tap list for Friday, April 17. In addition to 10 original beers, the lineup includes 5 guest beers from breweries such as Yokohama Bay Brewing and Ise Kadoya Beer, making for a total of 15 taps.
Hop BroToday the 15-tap lineup in Osaka's Grand Green Osaka is hot. CRAFT BEER BASE leaf has released its tap list for April 17, and with 10 originals plus 5 guests, it’s a pretty fun spread.
MugiWhat! 15 types total? Isn't that too many? With that many, I'd get stuck choosing the first beer and end up closing the place down before I ordered!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. leaf's originals have clearly different aroma profiles, like "leaf," made with sage and lemongrass, and the blond ale "BLONDE."
MugiSage and lemongrass go into beer?! Wait, are herb beers actually good?
Hop BroThey are. Using herbs lifts the aroma and changes the impression the moment it hits your mouth. And with a design like "LAVENDER & CHAMOMILE" that layers aromatic notes, you can enjoy it with your nose while you drink.
MugiWhoa. But I'm already drawn to MIX JUICY 013 just from the name! If it's juicy, does that mean it has fruit juice in it?
Hop BroNot necessarily, but hop-derived tropical notes and a hazy mouthfeel often make it feel "juicy." When that's combined with a strong hop presence and a satisfying body, you can't stop at just one more sip.
MugiI see! Then I'm curious about the guest beers too! Yokohama Bay Brewing's Bay Pilsner and Ise Kadoya Beer's "Spring Whisper" both sound spring-like just from the names!
Hop BroExactly. And with Chuckanut Brewery's Vienna Lager, RODENBACH CLASSIC, and Daisen G Beer's "Wheat Wine 2023" on top of that, the range goes from lager to aged styles. The strength is that you can build a tasting flight at a single bar.
MugiAnd the shop even has a green view? That's basically victory, isn't it? If we drink leisurely at the counter, we'll definitely keep asking, "What should we have next?"
Hop BroExactly. It's a day where the umami builds gradually rather than shouting for attention, so starting slowly with a PALE ALE recommendation makes sense. Pair that with meat dishes or American food, and the day won't end.
MugiWow, just reading this made my throat remember beer! First, let's look at leaf's tap list and have a meeting about what to drink first!
Hop BroDeal. With this lineup in Osaka, today is perfect for a tasting crawl. Start light, then finish with something more contemplative.
15-Tap Lineup
CRAFT BEER BASE leaf (2F, North Building, Grand Green Osaka, Osaka) announced its business hours and tap list for Friday, April 17. Business hours are 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., with food last order at 10:00 p.m. and drinks last order also at 10:00 p.m. Reservations are accepted from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
That day's lineup consists of 15 taps in total: 10 original beers and 5 guest beers. Among the originals are "leaf," brewed with sage and lemongrass; the blond ale "BLONDE"; the classically designed "PALE ALE"; and "LAVENDER & CHAMOMILE," which combines lavender and chamomile, offering a lineup with clearly distinct aromas and drinking profiles. If you want to enjoy hop character, "MIX JUICY 013" is one to watch, and "Ikeda Mikan Wit," with its citrus notes, is another highlight.
The guest selections include Yokohama Bay Brewing's "Bay Pilsner," Chuckanut Brewery's "Vienna Lager," Ise Kadoya Beer's "Spring Whisper," RODENBACH CLASSIC, and Daisen G Beer's "Wheat Wine 2023." The range spans pilsner and lager to freestyle ale, Flemish red brown, and barrel-aged wheat wine, making it easy to build a tasting comparison all in one place.
The shop's comments also mentioned the pleasure of drinking while looking out at the greenery through the windows, as well as taking it easy at the counter seats. Rather than a lineup that pushes flashy appeal, this seems like a day for calmly savoring beers whose umami builds gradually. In particular, PALE ALE is recommended as a beer that brings out the balance between hops and malt, and it should pair well with meat dishes and American food.
