Hop BroSo café&beer Aruka → Aruka in Osaka's Namba Sennichimae has refreshed nine taps for its May 15 service. The lineup is centered on local brews, and they're really going all in today.
MugiWait, nine taps refreshed all at once? Just looking at the menu is making me busy!
Hop BroThe highlight is 13 Red Ale. And since it's a Session Red IPA collaboration between Aruka → Aruka and Ones Brewery, it sounds like it balances malty sweetness with hoppy sharpness.
MugiSession Red IPA? What is that? Something red but light? Now I'm a little confused.
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it's a style that's easy to drink and light, but still has the toasty character of red malt. It's not meant to be heavy and intense; the goal is balance so you can have several glasses.
MugiOh wow, I'm also curious about the herb-style Golden Ale, Lavender&Chamomile. It sounds like it must have such a stylish aroma!
Hop BroExactly. CRAFT BEER BASE's Lavender&Chamomile is a Golden Ale with herbs. And Derailleur Brew Works' NIGHT RIDER ROUTE 26 is a Session IPA, so the aroma direction is completely different and the comparison is fun.
MugiWhat? They even have Mugicha Bitter? I'm losing track of whether this is beer or tea!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. Mugicha Bitter is Minoh Beer's barley tea bitter, and the toasted aroma feels very Japanese. With STOUT, PUNK IPA, and Heartland also on tap, the lineup has a solid breadth of entry points.
MugiWow, the food is strong too, which is unfair. The bacon-and-garland-chrysanthemum pie feels like it was born for beer...!
Hop BroIf it's a place you can enjoy from lunch through the evening in Namba and Nipponbashi, then this is totally a perfect day for a tasting flight. Next time, I'd go after the 13 Red Ale first, then end with a toast together.
