CRAFT BEER BASE BUD Teases Five Guest Kegs Ahead of Its 11th Anniversary Festival
CRAFT BEER BASE BUD in Umeda, Osaka, has released guest beer information ahead of its March 20-21 11th anniversary festival. The lineup spans from Schneider Weisse's classic beer to Kyoto Brewing's Belgian DIPA and rich stouts from American breweries, offering a wide range of styles.
Hop BroUmeda's underground scene is heating up. CRAFT BEER BASE BUD has pre-announced five guest kegs for March 20-21 leading up to the BUD 11th Anniversary.
MugiWhoa! So it's a two-day-only festival in the basement of Osaka Station Front Building No. 1? That's one I can head to straight after work!
Hop BroExactly. The five beers announced in Part 2 are strong, and the lineup spans the whole range from light to heavy. You can compare classic European beers to rich American stouts all at once.
MugiWhat is that! Schneider Weisse's TAP6 is a spell-like name, "Weizen Doppelbock"?
Hop BroBasically, it's a fuller-bodied wheat beer. TAP6 Mein AVENTINUS has a silky texture, deep richness, and dried-fruit notes, with more than 8% ABV for serious drinking satisfaction.
MugiOhhh! So Kyoto Brewing's Mari Otoko is a Belgian DIPA at 7.5%, and it says "from Belgian yeast" - what kind of flavor does that make?
Hop BroThe design layers the spiciness of Belgian yeast with the hop aroma of Citra and Simcoe, and Mari Otoko is a beer that makes the sense of aromatic layering really fun.
MugiNow I'm overwhelmed with things I want to drink! CHUCKANUT x Yokohama Bay's Gold Label, Faction's Hamaru IPA, and even Finback - isn't the range insanely wide?
Hop BroGold Label is a Czech-style lager with toasty sweetness and a floral feel, Hamaru IPA is a medium-bodied beer fragrant with NZ hops, and Finback's BA Marshmallow Drip is a barrel-aged imperial stout with heavy notes of coconut, coffee, and more.
MugiComparing a lager and a heavy stout on the same day sounds amazing... I can see myself getting lost from the very first pint, but I definitely want to drink it!
Hop BroThat's the right way to do it: start light at the station-front underground and finish with something rich at the end. Let's go track down and drink through the anniversary taps.
