Uchouten Brewing’s “Excursions nitro ver.” Goes on Tap at torne_craftbeer in Osaka’s Tenroku
On April 20, the beer pub torne_craftbeer in Osaka’s Tenroku announced in a post that it had tapped Uchouten Brewing’s taproom anniversary beer, “Excursions nitro ver.” It also highlighted the Kilkenny-like red ale, along with its well-stocked tap list and ongoing staff recruitment.
Hop BroIt's new tap time at torne_craftbeer in Tenroku, Osaka. On April 20, they brought in Uchouten Brewing's anniversary beer, "Excursions nitro ver.", and this is one you don't want to miss.
MugiWhoa! Anniversary beers feel special! And "nitro ver." sounds kind of powerful, so now I'm curious!
Hop BroThis one is an Irish Red Ale. It has caramel-like sweetness and toasty malt character, but finishes dry, so it's the kind you can keep drinking.
MugiToasty? What does that mean? You mean it tastes like bread that's been toasted? That's such a breakfast-y word for beer!
Hop BroExactly, it's got that bready, toasty crust kind of nuance. And because it's nitro, the foam is fine and the mouthfeel is soft. It's that old Kilkenny-like feel.
MugiOhhh! A "Kilkenny-esque" pint sounds a little grown-up but still easy to drink. That's appealing!
Hop BroAnd the tap list that day was strong. From Pilsner to Scottish Ale nitro ver., Yuzu Saison, and Lapsang Souchong Tea Lambiek, they really showed the strength of a beer pub.
MugiWhat is that! It feels like a big gathering of domestic and international beers. I'd probably go around the menu three times before choosing, but this is definitely the fun kind of problem!
Hop BroPlus, they debuted Nurnberger sausage on the food side too. Pair that with the red ale's maltiness or the smoothness of the nitro pour, and you've got a combination you won't want to stop.
MugiWow, perfect pairing with beer and sausage? That's almost unfair! If I drank in Tenroku, I'd probably want to move in!
Hop BroAnd torne_craftbeer is a place where music and food are fun too, and they're still hiring staff. It's the kind of spot that draws in both drinkers and workers.
MugiThen it's settled for today! Let's dive into the red-ale abyss together with Excursions nitro ver. in hand!
A Red Ale That Brings Kilkenny to Mind
On April 20, the beer pub torne_craftbeer, located in Sugaecho, Kita Ward, Osaka, in the Tenjimbashisuji 6-chome area, announced a new keg on Instagram. In the post, while referring to the once-beloved Kilkenny that many beer fans remember fondly, it once again highlighted the appeal of a classic red ale that is easy to want to drink every day.
The New Tap Is Uchouten Brewing’s Anniversary Beer
Added that day was Uchouten Brewing’s taproom 2nd anniversary event beer, “Excursions nitro ver. / Wu-Chaw-Teng Brew.” It is an easy-drinking Irish Red Ale from Ireland, with caramel and toasty malt flavors, while finishing dry and crisp. In the post, it was introduced as a "Kilkenny-esque ale," a beer you can keep drinking without overthinking it.
Tap List for the Day
That day’s lineup included `Pilsner / Mojiko Retro Beer`, `Scottish Ale nitro ver. / Minoh Beer`, `BAWEIZEN / Mojiko Retro Beer + Yukihiro BaBa`, `Muninn / MAHOWBREW`, `Nico / Farmentry`, `Interiority 2025 Coconut / Trap Door Brewing`, `Shima the Citrus Kaiju / Himitsu Beer + AL BEER STAND`, `Yuzu Saison 2024 / Yorocco Beer`, `Personal Plague / RaR Brewing + Brujos Brewing`, and `Lapsang Souchong Tea Lambiek / Oud Beersel`. The mix of domestic and international staples, along with more characterful picks, gives the lineup the broad range you’d expect from a beer pub.
Food and the Atmosphere of the Shop
On the food side, Nurnberger sausage from Fukudome Farm in Kagoshima Prefecture was introduced as a new menu item. It’s the kind of dish that pairs well with a red ale with malt sweetness or with the soft texture of a nitro beer. torne_craftbeer is known as a Tenroku beer pub in Osaka where you can enjoy music and food alongside craft beer, and at the end of the post it also announced that it is continuing to recruit part-time staff. It keeps building a space where beer lovers naturally gather.
