Hop BroToday, CRAFT BEER BASE BUD in Osaka/Umeda put out its tap list for Thursday, April 16. It's on B2F of Osaka Ekimae No. 1 Building, and opening at 16:00 really hits for after work.
MugiWhoa, they're serious down in the basement! And a 10-tap update already sounds fun before you even start choosing!
Hop BroThe new tap is HarvestMoon's Schwarz. It has the aroma of roasted malt, but the finish is crisp, so even though it's a dark beer, it doesn't feel too heavy.
MugiSchwarz, huh! I thought dark meant bitter and heavy, but what do you mean by a dark beer that's still light on its feet?
Hop BroSimply put, it has roasted character but finishes clean. That's why it works well as a pre-lager-event pour, and it feels like a dark beer that goes with food.
MugiOhh! And they also have names like Gentle Lion and UNION JACK lined up, which sound strong just from the names alone. That's exciting to look at!
Hop BroThe lineup is broad too. You have the pale ale Gentle Lion, the classic IPA vera, the altbier Album, and even a hazy TIPA, so you can go from light to rich depending on your mood.
MugiWait, suddenly there are so many words like hazy and West Coast! How do you tell the difference in flavor?
Hop BroWest Coast IPA tends to have sharper aromatics and more noticeable bitterness. Hazy TIPA is cloudy and leans juicier, so it's easy to understand if you enjoy the contrast between bitterness and aroma.
MugiI get it! And since it's in Osaka Ekimae No. 1 Building, it's easy to stop by, and if there's food too, then going refreshing first, then dark beer sounds really good!
Hop BroExactly. You could finish with something rich like the barrel-aged BA Blueberry Drip, or wrap up with the Maibock. This is definitely one of those nights where we want to go out for drinks.
MugiThen there's no choice! I want to start with the Schwarz while enjoying the happiness of looking over the taps!
