Nomcraft Juso Taproom posts July 15 tap list with 11 beers, including NOMCRAFT Lager
Nomcraft Juso Taproom in Osaka's Juso district shared its July 15 tap list. The 15-line setup includes 11 beers, from NOMCRAFT Lager and NOMCRAFT IPA to collabs and a 2.5% Juicy Micro IPA. A soba project is also teased for the weekend.
Hop BroToday’s topic is Nomcraft Juso Taproom in Osaka. Their July 15 post showed 11 beers on tap, and the lineup is unusually well balanced.
MugiWait, it’s walkable from Juso Station and outside food is allowed? That is a dangerous level of convenience after work!
Hop BroExactly. It’s a brewpub run by NOMCRAFT Brewing, and the staples are strong: NOMCRAFT LAGER is a Helles Lager at 4.5%, and NOMCRAFT IPA is a West Coast IPA at 6.5%.
MugiNice, a side-by-side classic flight sounds perfect. But what even is Helles? It sounds like a gentle special attack!
Hop BroHelles is basically a soft golden lager with round malt flavor and restrained bitterness. West Coast IPA, on the other hand, snaps with hop aroma and clean bitterness.
MugiThen what is OCTOPUS KING’s Dip Hop IPA? I’m picturing hops soaking in a bathtub!
Hop BroCute image, slightly wrong. Dip Hop is basically an aroma-boosting method. PORTER -Nitro ver. gets silky bubbles from nitrogen, and POCKET HERO is a 2.5% Juicy Micro IPA for an easy low-ABV finish.
MugiWhat is this lineup? TRISKELION 2026, PUNKY DUCK, WINE NOT?, and No.3 YAYOI IPA #2 make it a full-on collab festival. It reads more like a cast list than a tap sheet!
Hop BroAnd the pairings are great too: TRISKELION 2026 with openair and HINO, PUNKY DUCK with diagonal and Ladybirds, WINE NOT? with CHORYO Craft Beer. There’s even a NOM and soba weekend coming up, plus Gareth is visiting next week. I’d start with the lager, stack a West Coast IPA, and finish on the porter.
MugiThat settles it. I want to detour through JUSO XPA or WAKAYAMA XPA first, then land on PORTER or POCKET HERO at the end. Tonight’s stop is Nomcraft Juso Taproom, no question!
Located in Juso Honmachi 1-chome, Nomcraft Juso Taproom is the direct taproom of NOMCRAFT Brewing. Its walkable location near Juso Station makes it easy to stop in for one beer after work, and the BYO-friendly setup adds to the casual feel.
In the July 15 post, 11 beers were on tap across 15 lines. The list centered on house lagers and IPAs, while also including collaboration beers and a low-ABV option.
The lineup was:
- NOMCRAFT LAGER / Helles Lager / 4.5%
- NOMCRAFT IPA / West Coast IPA / 6.5%
- JUSO XPA / XPA / 5.5%
- OCTOPUS KING / Dip Hop IPA / 7.0%
- TRISKELION 2026 / West Coast IPA / 6.5% (collab with openair and HINO)
- PORTER -Nitro ver. / Porter / 6.0%
- POCKET HERO / Juicy Micro IPA / 2.5%
- PUNKY DUCK / West Coast IPA / 6.5% (collab with diagonal and Ladybirds)
- WAKAYAMA XPA / XPA / 5.5%
- WINE NOT? / Japanese Wine Ale / 6.5% (collab with CHORYO Craft Beer)
- No.3 YAYOI IPA #2 / Juicy IPA / 7.0% (FARMENTRY)
The appeal here is the range: you can compare the brewery's core beers side by side, then move into more hop-forward collabs or finish with a porter. The 2.5% POCKET HERO is especially useful if you want something lighter without leaving the taproom.
The caption also teased a NOM and soba project for the weekend, plus a visit from Gareth the following week. It is a clear snapshot of what NOMCRAFT is pouring in Juso right now.
