Hop BroOn Saturday, May 23, a Kyoto Brewing × Hansharo Beer double tap takeover is coming to Craft Beer Market LUCUA Osaka.
MugiHuh?! What do you mean by double tap? Does the tap have a split personality or something?
Hop BroNothing that dramatic. It means they’ll be tapping two collaborative beers from the two breweries.
MugiOhhh! So Kyoto Brewing and Hansharo Beer are going to be side by side at the same counter?
Hop BroExactly. Kyoto Brewing is known for its clean, precise approach, while Hansharo Beer has a stronger sense of playfulness, so comparing their personalities should be really interesting.
MugiBut when you say beer lines, it suddenly sounds like a science class and makes me sleepy!
Hop BroBasically, it means the different beers in the kegs. Since this is a two-beer tap takeover, you can compare different flavors at the same event.
MugiAnd it’s inside Balchika on B2F of LUCUA Osaka, right? I feel like I’d get pulled in on the way home from work!
Hop BroThat’s the strong point. It’s directly connected to Osaka Station and easy to get into, and with around 30 taps inside, there’s also the fun of getting a little lost in the choices.
MugiAround 30 kinds? That’s basically a beer vending machine! But stopping by while shopping is pretty dangerous!
Hop BroDangerous, but amazing. On May 23, let’s meet at LUCUA Osaka as the best seat for a tasting comparison. I’m already getting eager for a glass myself.
MugiYeah, yeah, me too! If I can toast right by the station, there’s basically no reason not to go!
