CRAFT BEER BASE leaf unveils 15 draft beers for 4/3, including 5 new taps
CRAFT BEER BASE leaf in Grand Green Osaka, Osaka, has released its tap list for Friday, 4/3. The lineup features 15 beers in total, including 10 house brews and 5 guest beers, with 5 new taps debuting that day. It is a menu designed to be enjoyed with food pairings as well.
Hop BroAt CRAFT BEER BASE leaf in Grand Green Osaka, those 15 draft beers were all laid out on 4/3. Ten house beers plus five guest beers, and with 5 new taps debuting that day, it's a pretty bold tap list, right?
MugiWait, 5 new taps all at once!? And there are 15 beers total? I think I'll melt before I even decide what to drink first!
Hop BroWhat's interesting is the house lineup: `leaf(new!!)` is a saison made with sage and lemongrass, `BLONDE(new!!)` is a crisp blonde ale, and `MIX JUICY 012(new!!)` is a richer hazy IPA.
MugiA saison? What even is that!? And a hazy IPA sounds delicious just from the name, but my brain is turning all fuzzy already!
Hop BroA saison was originally the kind of aromatic, crisp beer people drank during farm work breaks. A hazy IPA is an unfiltered, aroma-forward IPA that lets you enjoy the juiciness of the hops.
MugiI see! Then what about `Robust Porter`? The name alone sounds dark and powerful, and I already want to try it!
Hop BroThat's the good part: `Robust Porter` has roasted aromas, with chocolate and coffee-like notes layered over hop bitterness, making it a lower-ABV beer you can sip slowly.
MugiWait, a dark beer with chocolate and coffee!? That's like a dessert that suddenly hits you with grown-up bitterness!
Hop BroThe guest beers are strong too. `Beer Terrace` from Yokohama Bay Brewing, `Dunkel` from Yatsugatake Touchdown, and even `Ultra Heaven 3xIPA That Melts the Brain` from Ise Kadoya Beer are on the list, so there are five distinctive guest beers lined up.
MugiWhat is that, a tasting showdown just from the names alone! And leaf is strong on food pairings too, right? If there's food involved, I'm definitely staying a while!
Hop BroExactly. It's great for lingering over a drink inside, and with around 50 kinds of bottled and canned beer too, it's perfect for a quick stop on the way home as well. Today even has curveballs like `UNDERWATER`, so let's sink together into the beer-tasting rabbit hole.
MugiYeah, I've decided! I'll start light and finish with something roasted! Hop-bro, stay with me for today's first drink!
