CRAFT BEER BASE BUD in Umeda, Osaka, has released its tap list for March 30. The lineup features 10 kegs with distinct personalities, including the limited collaboration brew from CRAFT BEER BASE x Matt Brynildson, Firestone Walker's UNION JACK, and Finback's BA Marshmallow Drip.
Hop BroCRAFT BEER BASE BUD in Osaka's Umeda is going hard with 10 taps on March 30.
MugiWait, 10 taps is a lot!? And just the name UNION JACK already sounds powerful!
Hop BroFirestone Walker's UNION JACK is a West Coast IPA, with pine resin notes and a crisp, sharp bitterness that's really satisfying.
MugiPine resin!? So maybe kind of foresty? But BA Marshmallow Drip sounds sweet and totally different!
Hop BroFinback's BA Marshmallow Drip is a Barrel Aged Imperial Stout, with layers of barrel depth, vanilla, coconut, peanut butter, and coffee.
MugiThat's way too much information for my brain to process! And they even brought in rice yeast and fermentation culture?
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. Sorachi Kinu Yuki BMK3ver., Wakyou AridagawaMikan, and even Matsue Beer Herd x Tabe Takeshita Shuzo's Orochi Rihachi are all lined up with a playful take on fermentation and ingredients.
MugiEven Orochi Rihachi is there, so it's basically the marriage of an izakaya and a laboratory! Total explosion of Japanese character!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, you've got CRAFT BEER BASE x Matt Brynildson's Gentle Lion, DD4D's Setoka Flash, and Trademark's A La Playa, so the range of flavors is wild.
MugiThis is unfair, being in the basement of Osaka Ekimae Dai-1 Building... I'm also curious about Finback MEET & GREET on April 12, and there's no way "just one drink" is going to be enough today!

Added to that are beers like Sorachi Kinu Yuki BMK3ver., Orochi Rihachi, and Go Czech!, which lean into Japanese ingredients and fermentation culture, making for a fun tasting comparison.
