Hop BroToday, Osaka's Juso neighborhood is buzzing at Nomcraft Juso Taproom. The April 1 tap list is said to feature a whopping 15 beers.
MugiWhoa, 15 taps is a lot! That sounds great, but I'd have trouble choosing!
Hop BroThe lineup is great too. It's centered on house brews, with NOMCRAFT LAGER, NOMCRAFT IPA, JUSO XPA, and even OCTOPUS KING all available.
MugiBut wait, what's a nitro stout? Does it really change that much just because the gas is different?
Hop BroIt does. This IRISH STOUT is a collaboration with Kyoto Beer Lab, and by softening the carbonation, it brings out the roast depth and a smoother finish.
MugiOhhh! That does sound easy to drink. And there are beers with fruit and spices in them too? I'm really curious!
Hop BroThat's another highlight. MOONBOW SHEEP uses coriander seed and budo sansho, while VAULT BREAKER is packed with pineapple, coconut, vanilla, and lime, so it's a lineup full of distinctive beers.
MugiWhoa, I saw that BARLEY WINE is 13.0% ABV. Isn't that super high-alcohol!? That's definitely one to sip slowly...
Hop BroExactly. They've also got guest pours from breweries like openair Brewing, HINO BREWING, and TWIN PEAKS MOUNTAIN BREWING, so it's a real treasure trove for tasting side by side.
MugiNow I really want to go! I'd start with a lager, then finish with a stout or barley wine, and toast Juso all the way!
