Beer&Cafe Hafen posts today's tap list with five beers
Beer&Cafe Hafen, a beer pub in Esaka, Osaka, shared its latest tap list on Instagram. The lineup includes beers from OTAMA Brewing, Sankt Gallen, and Shiroyama Brewery, with two more beers listed as upcoming stock.
Hop BroToday’s topic is Beer&Cafe Hafen in Esaka. They posted three beers on tap now plus two possible incoming ones, and it’s the kind of lineup that makes your first pint hard to choose.
MugiWhat! Five beers featured already sounds like a mini tasting festival! Splitting the list into current taps and next arrivals is actually super helpful.
Hop BroThe current stars are MAGIC TIME IPA, Sankt Gallen’s Chou Shonan Gold, and Shiroyama Brewery’s Stout with Amami brown sugar. Hoppy, citrusy, and rich-dark, so the flavor directions don’t overlap at all.
MugiHold on, hop profile means what exactly? Does the hop have a face now? This suddenly sounds less like beer and more like an art exhibit!
Hop BroIt just means the aroma and bitterness come through clearly. And “tap” means draft beer from a keg, so this setup is nice because each pint gives you a totally different experience.
MugiOooh, then Chou Shonan Gold sounds like a full-on citrus blast, and a stout with Amami brown sugar sounds so wild I’m halfway expecting dessert in a glass!
Hop BroThat contrast is the fun part. Amami brown sugar adds depth more than sugary sweetness, so going from bright citrus to a dark, rich stout would be a very satisfying progression.
MugiAnd then the next candidates are HOJO Saison and Shiga Kogen’s Yuru Blue spelt, right? I kind of know saison, but spelt sounds like a grain and a magic spell at the same time!
Hop BroSpelt means using spelt grain. It’s an old grain that can bring a distinct flavor and texture. Following a light saison with that kind of beer is exactly the sort of tap rotation regulars love to track.
MugiI’m sold. I want to check their SNS before going, then settle in and drink slowly based on whatever’s pouring that day. That sounds like the right way to do Esaka.
Hop BroThat’s exactly it. There are too many tonight’s pint options here, and now I’m fully in the mood to start with the IPA and finish on that brown sugar stout.
Beer&Cafe Hafen, a beer pub in Esaka, Suita City, Osaka, posted its latest tap update on Instagram. The shop, located on the first floor of Esaka Garden Heights, opened the post with a friendly greeting and separated the current taps from the next incoming beers.
On tap now are OTAMA Brewing's `MAGIC TIME IPA`, Sankt Gallen's `Super Shonan Gold`, and Shiroyama Brewery's `Stout (Amami Kokuto)`. The lineup covers a hop-forward IPA, a citrus-leaning beer, and a stout made with brown sugar, so the flavor range is easy to read at a glance.
The post also previews the next stock: HOJO.Brewing & Stays' `Saison` and Shiga Kogen Beer's `Yuru Blue spelt`. That kind of advance notice is appealing for drinkers who like following a pub's tap rotation.
Beer&Cafe Hafen is the sort of place where you can slow down and check what is on draft before ordering. As with any tap list, the selection can change, so checking the shop's latest social updates before visiting is the safest move.
