Hop BroThe Namba Sennichimae beer pub has lined up nine taps centered on Osaka-local brews. At café&beer Aruka→Aruka, today's lineup is very much made for comparing pours.
MugiWhoa! Nine taps is a lot, right? It's basically a tasting paradise. Where do I even start?
Hop BroThe first one to lock in is 13 Red Ale. It's a Session Red IPA, a collaboration between Aruka→Aruka and One's Brewery, so it has that red malt character tucked inside its light, easygoing body.
MugiSession... IPA... my brain is already going pshhh! Does that mean light and aromatic?
Hop BroExactly. The alcohol stays on the lighter side, but you still get the aroma and bitterness. Then something like Lavender&Chamomile, a herb-infused Golden Ale, shows up, and even though you're in Namba it starts to feel like a stylish little garden.
MugiHerb beer sounds amazing! If it has a floral aroma, it seems like even people who don't usually like beer could get into it!
Hop BroAnd the nice thing is it's not just curveballs. There's black beer too, like Papa Zaru Lager's Black Lager and Minoh Beer's STOUT. Plus PUNK IPA and Heartland are on the list, so the range is so wide that even the manager's wallet is probably crying.
MugiThere are black beers, but also lager and IPA? That's a too-wide-to-handle problem for sure!
Hop BroThat's what makes it perfect for a weekday pint. After an event, you can stop in, then choose by mood whether you want something heavier or lighter, local or classic. That's very Aruka→Aruka.
MugiAnd the food is strong too, right? If you say deep-fried tofu wrapped in meat, I can already hear the beer calling.
Hop BroExactly. They even have scallion and chicken thigh ajillo and edamame rillettes, so the more you drink, the more you want to eat. With beer-friendly food and Osaka-local drafts, Namba's nights come together really well.
MugiAll right, going by here in Namba is officially happening today! With so many tempting options to drink, neither you nor I are getting away with just one pint!
