Hop BroCRAFT BEER BASE leaf in Grand Green Osaka, Osaka, has released its tap list for April 12. With 10 house beers and 5 guest beers, they are really bringing their A game today.
MugiWhoa, a 15-tap lineup? And it has both house beers and guest beers? I feel like I might collapse from not knowing where to start!
Hop BroThe first thing to watch is the new saison with sage and lemongrass. Saison already has yeast-derived spice, and once herbal notes are layered on, its character really comes alive.
MugiWhat even is a saison!? It sounds fancy, but when you say yeast-derived aroma, my nose still can’t keep up!
Hop BroSimply put, it tends to show aromas that feel fruity or peppery. At leaf, the layers of aroma are beautifully put together, so it is a great first beer of the day.
MugiOhhh! And there are also PALE ALE, `MIX JUICY 012`, and `Ikeda Mikan Wit` too, so just reading the names makes me want to start a tasting stamp rally!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, there are `LAVENDER & CHAMOMILE` and `Hop Scheme057 Nectaron`, so it is a dream lineup for aroma lovers. I like that it has a real range of flavors, from light and bright to hoppy.
MugiBut I am curious about the heavier ones too! `Robust Porter` sounds like it is already black and powerful... is that the deep, rich kind of pint?
Hop BroExactly. Add Chuckanut Brewery's Pilsner and Vienna Lager, Totopia's `Boxphobia`, RODENBACH CLASSIC, and Daisen G Beer's `Imperial Stout 2023`, and you can take in everything from lager to sour styles to dark heavy hitters at once.
MugiWow, there are so many anchors for a tasting comparison that it actually helps! And today is not just about beer, right? There is event-only charcuterie too?
Hop BroThat’s right. There will be charcuterie platters, tartines, and even sausages, so it is a day you can play around with pairings. It is the kind of place in Umeda where you settle in, and before long both of us will want one more drink.
