CraftBeerWorks KAMIKAZE updates its 14-tap lineup with two new beers
CraftBeerWorks KAMIKAZE, the beer pub in Kitahorie, Osaka, posted its July 20 tap list. Two taps were changed over to a spice saison from Fermatory and a plum saison from Mugi Zakkoku Kobo, joining a broad 14-tap lineup.
Hop BroThe July 20 tap list from CraftBeerWorks KAMIKAZE in Osaka's Kitahorie is out, and it is exactly the kind of lineup you want on the last day of a holiday.
MugiWhat! The name KAMIKAZE already sounds intense! And two taps were swapped? Do places really rotate them that often?
Hop BroThey do. This time it is a 14-tap lineup with 5 lagers, 4 ales, 1 fruit beer, and 4 IPAs. It is built so you can taste your way through without overthinking it.
MugiWhoa, okay, but I need the new stuff first. That Zhendan Saison from Fermentery sounds powerful already, but what even is a saison?
Hop BroIt is a spice saison, so think light, dry, and really aromatic. You get fermentation character and spice notes, and suddenly your mouth feels like a tiny beer festival.
MugiA tiny beer festival in my mouth?! That is a lot to process! Then the ume saison from Mugizakkoku Kobo, is that like drinking a pickled plum?
Hop BroNot that extreme. IRODORI Saison UME uses Japanese plum, so it is more about bright aroma and refreshing tartness than salty punch. It sounds wild, but it drinks elegant.
MugiI want that already! And wait, they also have COFFEE IPA from Minoh Beer? Is it coffee? Is it beer? Is it breakfast? Is it midnight?
Hop BroThat confusion is fair. COFFEE IPA usually layers roasty coffee character over hoppy citrus, and then they back it up with GREEN MASSIVE and Sen no Sake ni Natte for extra firepower.
MugiHold on, what about Yuru Blue spelt from Shiga Kogen? Is spelt a spell, or a grain, or both?
Hop BroSpelt is an old wheat variety, and it can add a grainy rustic note to the beer. It sounds technical, but the practical version is just: a little unusual, very tasty.
MugiOkay, I can work with that! And the lager side has Pilsner Urquell, Asahi, CHORYO, and Premium Lager from NAMACHA-n Brewing, so even the first pour is a hard choice.
Hop BroExactly, and with pizza plus fried chicken on the menu, you can go from lagers to IPAs and make a whole evening out of it.
MugiThat sounds perfect... now I seriously want to head to Kitahorie right now and drink through that list with you.
