CRAFT BEER BASE BUD Releases April 2 Tap List, 10 Beers Including New Releases
The Umeda, Osaka beer pub CRAFT BEER BASE BUD has released its tap list for April 2. The lineup spans 10 beers in a wide range of styles, from a collaboration bearing the shop's name to IPA, sour, lager, and weizen-influenced brews.
Hop BroUmeda's 10-beer tap list is here. At CRAFT BEER BASE BUD on B2 of Osaka Ekimae No. 1 Building, April 2 is a pretty aggressive lineup with some new releases mixed in.
MugiWhat, there are 10 kinds!? And there's even a shop-name collaboration? It's so funny it feels like the place is teaming up with itself!
Hop BroThe first pour is CRAFT BEER BASE×Matt Brynildson's Gentle Lion, a Modern American Pale Ale. It brings out the hop aroma cleanly, while the finish stays crisp and easy, so it's a good way to start.
MugiModern American Pale Ale... that's a traffic jam of English words! But I guess it's the kind of beer that gets you hyped up with the first glass, right?
Hop BroExactly. And it's interesting that they also have brews made with sake yeast fermentations, like CRAFT BEER BASE / Sorachi Kinu Yuki BMK3ver. and Choryo×NOMCRAFT / WakyōAridagawaMikan.
MugiSake yeast, really!? Once Japanese ideas get into beer, I can't even imagine what it tastes like!
Hop BroIn rough terms, it tends to add the soft aroma and depth you'd associate with sake. On top of that, Bellwoods' JELLY KING is a new dry-hopped release, and there are also two West Coast IPAs, so it's a dream lineup for aroma fans.
MugiWhoa, there are two sours too!? The kind that snaps you awake in one sip, and I can already see the smiles on sour-beer fans' faces!
Hop BroAnd with Schneider Weisse's AVENTINUS and even NAMACHA Brewing's Nacchan's Lager, the range of flavors is really wide. From bock to Dortmunder, today is all about tasting and comparing.
MugiIf you can swing by after work in Umeda and it even pairs with pork belly and asparagus, that's perfect! Today is definitely one of those nights where neither of us is getting out after just one drink!
