CRAFT BEER BASE leaf adds Chuckanut's new pilsner to the April 5 tap list
The beer pub CRAFT BEER BASE leaf at Grand Green Osaka in Osaka has published its tap list for April 5. In addition to its house saison and IPA, the lineup includes Chuckanut Brewery's new pilsner, along with guest kegs from Totopia, Daisen G Beer, and others.
Hop BroToday, the April 5 tap list at CRAFT BEER BASE leaf in Grand Green Osaka is really hot. Ten house beers and five guest beers, and just looking at it makes your throat get thirsty.
MugiWhat! A 15-beer tap board? That's so many! I'm already lost before I even choose!
Hop BroFirst up, the house lineup has 10 originals, with a huge range, from herb-driven beers like `leaf : Saison with sage & Lemongrass` to roast-driven ones like `Robust Porter`.
MugiWhat is that! A saison and a roast beer in the same place? Their personalities are way too different! Is it like a world of herbs and coffee?
Hop BroExactly, that's what makes leaf interesting. You've got citrusy beers like `Ikeda Mikan Wit`, and then yeast-driven aromas like `Belgian IPA`. In other words, the flavor range is wide.
MugiOhhh! Then I'm curious about the guest beers too! What kind of beer is Chuckanut's new `Pilsner`?
Hop BroIt's Chuckanut Brewery's Bohemian-style pilsner, and the write-up describes it as the kind that is clean and easy to drink by the pint. The bitterness is crisp, the malt sweetness is solid, and it's the kind of beer that goes great with food.
MugiWow, that sounds super easy to drink! But if they also have `Boxphobia` and `Imperial Stout 2023`, doesn't the back half of the lineup suddenly get heavy-duty?
Hop BroThat's part of the fun. You can finish with Totopia's `Boxphobia` or Daisen G Beer's `Imperial Stout 2023`. What makes it great is that you can run the whole day from a light pilsner to a dark beer.
MugiAnd there is also the `Charcuterie and Beer` event on April 11, right? Ham and beer is the kind of thing that makes you happy just hearing about it.
Hop BroThat's right. Regular service starts at 16:00, and the appeal is really strong for pairing beer with a meal. Today, first I want to imagine a tap crawl through leaf, and then end with a toast over a pilsner.
The Osaka-Umeda location of CRAFT BEER BASE leaf (Grand Green Osaka, Shops & Restaurants North Building 2F) has released its on-tap information for April 5. Opening time is 11:00, food last order is 22:00, and drinks last order is 22:00. On that day, the venue will be reserved for a private event from 12:00 to 16:00, and regular service will begin after 16:00.
A day with 10 original beers on tap
The house beers for the day are 10 varieties: `leaf : Saison with sage & Lemongrass`, `BLONDE`, `PALE ALE`, `LAVENDER & CHAMOMILE`, `MIX JUICY 012`, `Ikeda Mikan Wit`, `Belgian IPA`, `Hop Scheme057 Nectaron`, `Red Ale`, and `Robust Porter`. The board is set up so you can explore a wide range of flavors in a single lineup, from herbs and citrus to hops and roast.
Five guest kegs
There are five guest beers. The newly connected `Pilsner(new!!)` is Chuckanut Brewery's Bohemian-style pilsner, and the post describes it as the kind of beer that is "clean and easy to drink by the pint." The other guest kegs are Yatsugatake Touchdown's `Dunkel`, Totopia's `Boxphobia`, Garyu Brewing's `Nagahama Kiwi IPA`, and Daisen G Beer's `Imperial Stout 2023`.
It is also worth pairing with the food
leaf is a beer pub where you can enjoy house-brewed beer alongside food. Even just looking at the tap list, the lineup is designed so you can enjoy a broad range in a single day, from a light pilsner to a fragrant Hazy IPA, a firmly bitter West Coast DIPA, and an Imperial Stout to finish the night. The post also mentions the April 11 event-service day for "Charcuterie and Beer," and suggests pairing the beers with Ham Yokoyama's charcuterie. Whether you're there for the beer or for the food, this is a lineup worth stopping by for.
