Hop BroThe beer pub CRAFT BEER BASE leaf in Grand Green Osaka, Osaka, has released its March 28 tap list. It features 10 house beers and 5 guest beers, so it's a pretty substantial lineup.
MugiWhoa, a 15-tap lineup!? With that many, I'd be happily lost before I even start choosing!
Hop BroAnd the house lineup is strong too. leaf's saison, BLONDE, PALE ALE, LAVENDER & CHAMOMILE, MIX JUICY 012, Ikeda Mikan Wit, Belgian IPA, Hop Scheme058 Super Delic, Red Ale, and IMPERIAL STOUT give you an amazing spread of flavors.
MugiSaison and wit sound strong just from the names, but what are they actually like?
Hop BroBroadly speaking, saison tends to be crisp and aromatic, while wit often brings out a soft wheat character. Because each beer has a different personality, from light and lively to rich and full-bodied, tasting them side by side lets you see how the place is designed.
MugiSo it's like a beer personality test! Then the guests are the interesting part too, right? That whole collaboration with other breweries thing!
Hop BroThat part is interesting too. Yokohama Bay Brewing's Beer Terrace is a German style Pilsner, CRAFTROCK's Indie IPA, Belching Beaver's Tropical Terps, Ise Kadoya Beer's Imperial Red Ale, and Nara Brewing x Kaze no Mori's UNDERWATER is a Sake Yeast Beer, so the range is huge.
MugiWait, a sake yeast beer? What is that, exactly? Does it make beer even more like alcohol?
Hop BroIt's beer brewed with yeast derived from sake, bringing a Japanese nuance to the aroma and mouthfeel. UNDERWATER is especially good at showing that character, and it's fresh even for people who usually drink mainly IPAs.
MugiOhh! Then I want to go from light to heavy in order. And being able to do draft beer takeaway too is almost unfairly convenient!
Hop BroHours are 11:00 to 23:00, with both food and drinks last ordered at 22:00. You can relax inside, or enjoy it outside in the park with the spring breeze, so it's just right for a spring pint.
MugiNow I really want to drink! Let's make today a tasting day and start with Pilsner, then finish with IMPERIAL STOUT!
