Craft Beer Market Whity Umeda Announces Seven New Taps, Including GROUNDTAP and Sierra Nevada
Craft Beer Market Whity Umeda has announced seven new kegs, including GROUNDTAP Brewery's RED and Sierra Nevada's HAZY LITTLE THING IPA. The lineup also features a Minoh Beer x Yorocco Beer collaboration and a fruit-forward smoothie sour.
Hop BroToday’s topic is seven fresh taps in Whity Umeda. Craft Beer Market Whity Umeda just put on a stacked lineup, from GROUNDTAP to SIERRA NEVADA.
MugiWhat! Seven beers at once sounds like a festival! If that’s waiting in the Umeda underground mall, my trip home is officially turning into a detour.
Hop BroAnd the lineup is strong. GROUNDTAP BREWERY’s RED is an amber lager, so you get that toasty malt side, and they’ve also got SIERRA NEVADA’s HAZY LITTLE THING IPA.
MugiHold on, amber lager means what exactly? It sounds stylish, like sunset in a glass, but is it super bitter?
Hop BroIn simple terms, it leans more toward malty richness. It still has lager crispness, but with a caramel-like toastiness and a touch of sweetness instead of just bitterness.
MugiOhhh, so it’s a red-toned easy drinker! That sounds perfect for a first pint, and probably great with pizza too.
Hop BroThen it gets even more fun. Minoh Beer and YOROCCO BEER made KOMPAS, a saison with Japanese plum, and CRAFTROCK BREWING with Seven Island Brewery brought A piece of Thick!, a smoothie sour with blueberry, strawberry, and yuzu.
MugiWhat even is a smoothie sour? That sounds like beer dressed up as breakfast. And a plum saison too? That glass has way too much personality for one drink!
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. A saison is light, dry, and aromatic, and here the plum adds juicy fruit character. The smoothie sour goes the other way, with a thick texture and sweet-tart flavor that feels almost like dessert.
MugiAnd if they’ve also got SCHMATZ Weizen plus a Czech-style dark lager from REPUBREW, you can really go from soft and easy to deep and roasty. That tasting flight could get dangerous fast.
Hop BroExactly. It’s inside NOMOKA in Whity Umeda, and the best part is how many styles you can compare in one stop. Add Italian snacks and pizza, and one drink somehow becomes three.
MugiI’m sold. Do I start with HAZY LITTLE THING IPA or dive straight into KOMPAS for the fruit angle? Either way, I want to be in Umeda drinking this right now!
Located in the NOMOKA area of Whity Umeda, this beer pub offers 30 draft craft beers and pairs them with Italian-style snacks and pizza. In this post, the shop announced seven new taps at once.
The lineup includes GROUNDTAP Brewery's amber lager RED, Hoegaarden Rosée, KOMPAS from Minoh Beer x Yorocco Beer [a saison with plum], A piece of Thick! from CRAFTROCK BREWING x Seven Island Brewery [a smoothie sour with blueberry, strawberry, and yuzu], SCHMATZ Weizen, REPUBREW's AGE AGE SAME AGE [a Czech-style dark lager], and Sierra Nevada's HAZY LITTLE THING IPA [a hazy IPA].
Two collaboration beers stand out in particular. KOMPAS leans into a saison base with plum, while A piece of Thick! layers blueberry, strawberry, and yuzu for a dense, fruit-driven sour profile. The list also covers familiar styles such as Weizen, amber lager, hazy IPA, and dark lager, giving drinkers a wide range to compare in one visit.
The location is convenient for a stop in central Osaka, and the food menu makes it easy to build a tasting session around pizza and bar snacks. It is a practical choice when you want to sample different styles without leaving the station-area underground streets.
A future event is also listed for Sunday, August 23: an ISEKADO x UDON BREWING collaboration beer release TTO.
