The beer pub café&beer Aruka➝Aruka in Namba Sennichimae, Osaka, announced a nine-tap lineup centered on local Osaka beers for the evening of May 11. The selection included the house collaboration Session Red IPA, along with Minoh Beer, CRAFT BEER BASE, Derailleur Brew Works, and others.
Hop BroThis 9-tap lineup in Namba Sennichimae is the May 11 selection at café&beer Aruka➝Aruka. It’s Osaka-heavy, so the comparison tasting should be pretty fun.
MugiWhoa! If it’s centered on Osaka breweries, is it like a local beer festival? And nine kinds too? That’s the kind of lineup that makes it really hard to choose!
Hop BroThe main draw is the shop-named 13 Red Ale. It’s a collaboration with Wands Brewery, and the style is Session Red IPA.
MugiSession Red IPA? What even is that! Session means lighter, right? A red beer that’s easy to drink sounds kind of confusing!
Hop BroExactly. Session styles are brisk and easy to drink. The hop aroma is still solid, but the alcohol presence is moderate, so you can enjoy them for longer.
MugiOhhh, then I’m also curious about the herb beer! A Golden Ale with lavender and chamomile sounds so stylish it might get me tipsy just from the aroma!
Hop BroThat’s another interesting part: there’s a clear contrast between aroma and bitterness. Derailleur Brew Works’ Session IPA, BAK Brewing’s Sour IPA, and MARCA’s CoffeeAmber are all on the list, so the lineup spreads out nicely in different directions.
MugiWhoa, there’s even a sour IPA? And a coffee amber too? Isn’t today basically a flavor roller coaster?!
Hop BroAnd among the local brews, having Minoh Beer’s Mugi-cha Bitter and STOUT is a strong move. The barley tea bitter is intriguing from the name alone, and ending with a stout is just the right way to do it.
MugiNice, they’ve got PUNK IPA and a classic staple too! Going hard with craft beer, then settling down with Heartland, sounds super easy to drink through!
Hop BroWith fried chicken tenderloin and plate-style wontons on the food menu, it’s a perfect match for comparison tasting. Today feels like the kind of night that makes you want to head to Namba and decide on your first beer.
MugiI want to go! Starting with the 13 Red Ale and finishing with the STOUT or Heartland sounds like a total winning lineup!
