Osaka’s Pogojiro posts a 14-beer tap list, from Firestone Walker to Guinness Nitro
The Osaka beer pub Pogojiro shared its latest 14-beer lineup, ranging from Firestone Walker and Minoh Beer to Onidensetsu, Black Tide Brewing, and Guinness Nitro ver. Weekend service starts at 3 p.m., making it an easy stop on a rainy afternoon.
Hop BroMugizakaya Pogology in Andojimachi, Osaka just dropped its 14-tap lineup today. The spread runs from Firestone Walker to GUINNESS, and even on a rainy weekend you can settle in from 3 p.m.
MugiWhat, fourteen beers at once? Firestone Walker, Minoh Beer, and GUINNESS all on the same list sounds like a beer festival squeezed into one tap board!
Hop BroThe one that jumps out first is Firestone Walker's pFreal, and the style is West Coast IPA. It is built for a crisp first pint with firm bitterness and a sharp hop aroma.
MugiWait, what is West Coast here? Is that a place, a flavor, or did beer suddenly turn into a geography exam?
Hop BroIt is easier than it sounds, and clean, snappy bitterness is the quick way to remember it. The malt sweetness stays restrained so the citrusy, pine-like hop character can lead.
MugiOkay, then Minoh Beer's Weizen and Black Tea Bitter are more like a gentler detour, right? I am relieved this lineup is not all full-throttle all the time!
Hop BroThat is exactly the right read. The Weizen is soft and wheaty, the Black Tea Bitter brings a toasty tea-like note, and Onidensetsu's pale ale being a single-hop version makes it extra fun.
MugiHold on, single hop does not mean one exhausted hop doing the whole shift alone? Like, "Today Simcoe is covering the bar by itself!"
Hop BroNot quite that dramatic. It means the beer uses one hop variety for aroma and bitterness, so you can really taste Simcoe's personality. That sits nicely next to playful names like NEKOBEER's CLEARNEKO LIQUID Hyper and BLACK TIDE BREWING's Hoya Boya.
MugiAnd then GUINNESS NITRO ver is waiting there as the perfect closing pint? If the foam is that smooth, I can already picture lingering there all rainy afternoon.
Hop BroExactly, because nitro is all about fine creamy bubbles. This 14-beer list is fun not just for the range, but for plotting your order from bold IPA to wheat beer to bitter and finally GUINNESS. Add the Pogojiro set with three snacks and you are set.
MugiThat settles it, I want to go anyway even if it rains. I am starting with the Weizen and ending on GUINNESS NITRO ver, and you can take the pFreal West Coast IPA so we can toast at Mugizakaya Pogology!
Pogojiro, a beer pub in Osaka’s Andoji-cho area, has posted its latest 14-beer tap list. On weekends, the bar opens at 3 p.m., so it is an easy place to settle in early even when the weather turns wet.
Today’s beers
- `pFreal West Coast IPA` / Firestone Walker

The lineup covers a wide range of styles: an American West Coast IPA, Minoh Beer’s wheat beer and bitter, a mild ale with coffee character, NEKOBEER’s playful label, Onidensetsu’s single-hop pale ale, and a nitro Guinness for the finish. It is the kind of tap list that invites you to think about the order of your drinks, from brighter hop-driven beers to softer wheat styles and a final creamy pint.
Food is part of the appeal as well. On weekdays, Pogojiro offers the Pogojiro Set, which pairs a craft beer in R size with three daily side dishes for 1,500 yen. Tuesdays bring Menjiro, a limited ramen special that changes every week. The bar also advertises private hot pot course plans and banquet options with free-flow drinks, making it flexible enough for both a casual solo stop and a small group outing.
For beer drinkers who like to browse a tap list and choose food to match, this is a useful Osaka address to keep in mind.
