café&beer あるか→アるか unveils its April 20 9-tap lineup, centered on Osaka local brews
The beer pub "café&beer あるか→アるか" in Namba Sennichimae, Osaka, has announced its tap list for April 20. Centered on Osaka breweries, the lineup of nine taps includes collaborations, beers using Japanese ingredients, and classic imported beers.
Hop BroThe Osaka Namba Sennichimae spot "café&beer あるか→アるか" has unveiled its April 20 9-tap lineup. Even though it leans local, it mixes adventurous picks and classics in a way that makes it really interesting.
MugiWow, nine taps? A lineup centered on Osaka local brews sounds like somewhere I’d want to visit all the time!
Hop BroThe main highlight is the collaboration 13 Red Ale / Session Red IPA from Aruka→Aru ka and ONE's Brewery. Because it’s a session beer, it keeps things easy to drink while balancing the richness of a red ale with the hop character of an IPA.
MugiWhat even is a session beer? Easy to drink but still full of character sounds almost too convenient to be real!
Hop BroIt’s not that scary, really. Basically, it’s designed with a slightly lower alcohol feel so you can enjoy a few glasses more easily. And then you get the Lavender & Chamomile Golden Ale on top of that, which instantly makes the lineup feel spring-like with all that fragrant softness.
MugiOhh, it’s like a flower beer! The aroma design sounds so stylish, like a fragrance event, even though it’s beer!
Hop BroAnd it doesn’t stop there with the Japanese angle. Banrinoharu Shuzo’s Sake Ale, and ONEs BREWERY’s KAMOSHI -, both make great use of sake-like nuances and kelp umami, so they’re especially strong as food-pairing beers.
MugiKelp too!? Beers with Japanese ingredients are basically starting to look like relatives of miso soup!
Hop BroOsaka’s breweries are holding nothing back either. Minoh Beer’s Osaru IPA and STOUT, plus MARCA BREWING’s Black IPA, cover a wide range from hop bitterness to roasted character.
MugiWhoa, that flow of bitterness and roast would be so much fun to compare side by side! My tongue would probably end up holding a meeting halfway through!
Hop BroAnother nice touch is that they also stock BrewDog Brewing’s PUNK IPA and Kirin’s Heartland. They don’t lean only on local beer, and it’s smart to have a reassuring fallback you can drink with confidence.
MugiI get it now, having classic imported beers makes it easier for beginners to come in too! I want to snack on something in Namba and slowly work through all nine taps!
Hop BroExactly. Being able to stop by easily in Namba Sennichimae and take your time while pairing with food is the appeal. I’m already in the mood to spend tonight savoring one glass at a time.
MugiMe too! My head is already full of beer tonight! I want to check out this lineup in person as soon as possible!
