YELLOW APE CRAFT taps Kyoto Brewing's 'Ihuudoudou,' with event appearances in May
At YELLOW APE CRAFT, the beer pub in Osaka's Kitahama, Kyoto Brewing's 'Ihuudoudou' has just been tapped. In addition to the open, door-open style of service that gives the place a sense of freedom, the venue also announced plans to appear at Craft Beer Live on May 23 and 24.
Hop BroAt YELLOW APE CRAFT in Osaka's Kitahama, Kyoto Brewing's "Ihuudoudou" has been tapped. It was the only new keg that day, and the bar's push for it as a beer for the end of the night rather than the first drink has a nice, understated feel.
MugiWait, what's an end-of-the-night beer? So it's not the first one, but the kind that shows up at the end? That's a little classy and cool, but if I did that I'd probably fall asleep halfway through!
Hop BroExactly. It's meant for enjoying the aroma and aftertaste as a closing beer. This time it's Kyoto Brewing's "Ihuudoudou"; even the name has presence, and it's interesting that the shop is presenting it as the last glass.
MugiOhh! But what style is it? IPA? Lager? That's important, right? I can't prepare myself mentally unless I know that!
Hop BroThe article doesn't specify the style. But Kyoto Brewing is good at expressing aroma and distinct character, so the name alone makes you want to expect a truly "unusual" glass.
MugiI see, it's got that distinctive personality vibe! And YELLOW APE CRAFT always has around 20 beers on tap, right? It's basically a beer department store, so getting lost is guaranteed!
Hop BroExactly. It's in a standalone house in Imazubashi, Osaka, and because graf designed the calm, understated space, even with so many choices it never feels cluttered.
MugiAnd they even allow standing room! With only about 25 seats, it has the casual feel of standing at the bar, which makes it a little easier to excuse yourself by saying, 'Just one today!'
Hop BroRight, and that day they were operating with the doors open, so it even had the open-air feeling of drinking outside. They're open until midnight, so it works well for both an early drink and a late finish.
MugiThat sounds amazing! And if they serve food too, it's the kind of place where you can stay a while with beer and a meal. I'd be worried I'd suddenly say, 'One more!' without realizing it!
Hop BroPlus, since they're also scheduled to appear at Craft Beer Live on May 23 and 24, this isn't just something to enjoy in the shop and call it a day. Pushing Kyoto Brewing like this at events too is a pretty strong move.
MugiI'm done for. I just read it and already want a drink! I'm making it my candidate for tonight's closer, so please share just a little of that 'Ihuudoudou' with me!
At YELLOW APE CRAFT in Osaka's Kitahama, Kyoto Brewing's 'Ihuudoudou' has been tapped. The post noted that this was the only new keg on the day, and the bar suggested enjoying it as a beer for the finish rather than the first drink.
YELLOW APE CRAFT is a beer pub that always offers around 20 draft craft beers on rotation, changing daily. Located in a standalone building in Imazubashi, Chuo Ward, Osaka, it features a simple, calm interior designed by graf and a compact space of about 25 seats including standing room. It has a relaxed atmosphere that makes it easy to enjoy conversation with a beer in hand.
On this day, the shop operated with the doors open, giving the place a feel similar to drinking outdoors. It stays open until midnight, making it easy to fit both an early toast and a late-night closer. Food is also available as course service, so you can spend time there centered on beer while also enjoying a full meal, which is very much part of the shop's appeal.
It was also announced that the shop will be taking part in "Craft Beer Live" on May 23 and 24. While enjoying Kyoto Brewing's new pour inside the shop, it's worth keeping an eye on its future event appearances as well.
