Nomcraft Juso Taproom posts a refreshed 15-tap lineup after beer restock
On June 24, Nomcraft Juso Taproom said fresh beer had arrived from Wakayama and that its can stock had been replenished. The taco event mentioned in the post was postponed to July 4, with normal operations currently expected.
Hop BroToday’s headline is Nomcraft Juso Taproom. On June 24 they announced a fresh beer delivery from Wakayama, and 13 of the 15 taps are pouring right now.
MugiWait, beer from Wakayama all the way to Juso? That sounds like a tiny trip in a pint glass! And 15 taps is basically a faucet amusement park.
Hop BroIt’s the brewery pub run by NOMCRAFT BREWING from Aridagawa, so the refill matters. Cans and kegs restocked means you can drop in for one draft or just grab takeaway.
MugiOoh, then for a beginner like me, where do I start? If the first sip is too bitter, my face is going to fold up like laundry.
Hop BroStart with NOMCRAFT LAGER, a Helles Lager at 4.5%, or JUSO XPA at 5.5%. Easygoing first pour is the smart move before you climb into the bigger flavors.
MugiHold on, OCTOPUS KING is a Dip Hop IPA? What does that even mean? I’m picturing an octopus swinging hops around the tank.
Hop BroDip hopping is a way to boost hop aroma around fermentation without making the bitterness too sharp. Think of it as an aroma-forward IPA and it clicks pretty fast.
MugiOkay, that helps! Then what about PORTER -Nitro ver.- and this nitro pour thing? It sounds like a superhero mode for dark beer.
Hop BroNitro uses nitrogen so the bubbles get extra fine and creamy. That makes the porter a silky dark beer, with roast and coffee-like notes that land softer on the palate.
MugiI’m in already. And wait, WHOLE NEW WORLD from MAHOWBREW and TIKI TIKI BOOM from Repubrew? The collab lineup is ridiculously fun.
Hop BroThat’s the beauty of this tap list. From Jasmine IPA to Japanese Sake Ale, Japanese Wine Ale, and BALDYS GOOD BEER’s ACID PUNCH, it runs from lager to sour without getting boring.
MugiAnd even though the taco event got pushed by the typhoon to Saturday, July 4, they’re still open as usual for now, right? Then I want a night in Juso immediately.
Hop BroSame here. I’d open with SLICE OF LIFE and close with ACID PUNCH. This is the kind of tap list that pulls you in before you even sit down.
Nomcraft Juso Taproom, the brewery-run brewpub in Juso, Osaka, posted on June 24 that fresh beer had arrived from Wakayama and that its can stock had also been restocked. Even in the rainy weather, the shop said guests were welcome for just one pint or even a can purchase.
