Winter Lambiek Returns at Osaka's torne_craftbeer, with a Kyoto Golden Week Pop-up
torne_craftbeer, a beer pub in Tenma, Osaka, updated its tap information on April 25. The update introduces Oud Beersel's lambic "Winter Lambiek" and the helles "Helles The Circle." by Mojiko Retro Beer, Minoh Beer, and torne, and says the bar will set up shop in Fushimi, Kyoto on May 2 and 3.
Hop BroLooks like torne_craftbeer in Osaka's Tenma is doing something interesting again. This time, the big highlight is the return of Winter Lambiek, and it really fits the seasonal mood.
MugiWait, lambic is that sour beer, right? And calling it a winter specialty is amazing, even though it's beer and still feels seasonal!
Hop BroExactly. This Oud Beersel beer has a spicy aroma from pine buds, and the taste is dry and refreshing. The pine-bud aroma really stands out, so it's not just sour.
MugiPine buds!? It's like they put a forest into the beer!? But when you hear spicy aroma, it does make you want to try it a little.
Hop BroAnd the one that came back too is torne's original Helles The Circle. It's a helles made by the three parties, Mojiko Retro Beer, Minoh Beer, and torne.
MugiOh, so it's a collaboration beer! I think of helles as something light and easygoing, but a three-way collab helles somehow sounds fancy!
Hop BroWhat's more, it has a pale golden color, a cracker-like malt aroma, and lingering notes of soft yeast and lemon peel. It doesn't go overboard; instead, it aims for a balance that makes you keep drinking. That's the smart part.
MugiThat's the best! Sounds like one you could keep drinking forever without even needing snacks! And a cracker-like aroma even makes me want to snack!
Hop BroThe tap list also runs from nitro ale to Saison, collaborations, and lambic. With such a wide `Beers` lineup, even choosing what to drink is fun when you go to the shop.
MugiAnd on May 2 and 3 they're setting up at the Kyoto Yugawari Craft Beer Festival 2026 in Fushimi, Kyoto, right? And they're closed on April 29 for brewing prep, right? I want to drink in Tenma today and then drink in Kyoto next!

It is described as having a spicy aroma from pine buds and a dry, refreshing drinkability, making it a beer you still reach for even as the seasons change.
Also returning is torne's original "Helles The Circle." It is a helles brewed by three parties, Mojiko Retro Beer, Minoh Beer, and torne. Its pale golden color, cracker-like malt aroma, and the lingering notes of soft yeast and lemon peel come together in a balanced, easy-drinking profile. Rather than chasing flashiness, the composition is notable for aiming at a balance that makes it easy to keep drinking glass after glass.
The day's `Beers` section also listed `Excursions nitro ver.`, `Scottish Ale nitro ver.`, `BAWEIZEN.`, `Muninn.`, `Nico.`, `Interiority 2025 Coconut.`, `Hyonotic Graffiti.`, `Yuzu Saison 2024.`, `Personal Plague.`, and `Lapsang Souchong Tea Lambiek.`, ranging from nitro ale to Saison, collaboration beers, and lambic. The shop is a beer pub near Tenjinbashisuji 6-chome Station, and its strength is that you can keep tabs on the cask lineup alongside your meal. The post also announced that it will have a booth at the "Kyoto Yugawari Craft Beer Festival 2026" in Fushimi, Kyoto on May 2 and 3, and noted that it will be closed on April 29 for brewing preparations for the Kyoto event.
