Ura-Namba "Arca➝Archa" taps Nishinari Riot Ale, serving 9 taps
The beer pub café&beer Arca➝Archa in Osaka's Namba Sennichimae released its tap list for a March 22 opening at 1:00 PM. DerailleurBrewWorks' "Nishinari Riot Ale" is newly featured, and the lineup centers on 9 taps with an Osaka-local focus, making it a great setup for tasting side by side.
Hop BroThat 9-tap lineup in Ura-Namba is pretty aggressive today. The headline beer is DerailleurBrewWorks' "Nishinari Riot Ale."
MugiWait! Nishinari Riot Ale already sounds interesting just from the name! What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt's an American Pale Ale with a solid, satisfying body. Think of it as a straightforward pint that lets you enjoy the hop aroma and bitterness cleanly.
MugiAmerican Pale Ale sounds kind of hard to get! How is that different from IPA, and what makes a beer feel satisfying?
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it's a little gentler than IPA, with a nice balance between malt sweetness and hop aroma. Not too bitter, not too thin, and with enough satisfaction to feel complete. That's the appeal of a pale ale.
MugiI see! And today is mostly Osaka-local too. With local breweries lined up like that, tasting side by side sounds fun!
Hop BroExactly. You've got 13 Red Ale, Hybrid Theory, Bokukaldaemon #002, Hazy IPA Yuzu, and Hop Schema 057 Nectaron, so the IPA side is pretty thick. On top of that, there's everything from wheat beer to stout, so the flavor transitions are really well thought out.
MugiWhoa, there's even a beer with cardamom in it!? It suddenly feels like I got dropped into the world of spice curry!
Hop BroBokukaldaemon #002 is literally a Cardamon Wheat. When the softness of wheat meets the aroma of cardamom, it comes together not just with a sweet fragrance, but with a slightly exotic profile.
MugiThey've even got mapo potatoes and deep-fried broad beans, so the food is strong too! This is definitely not the kind of place you leave after just one drink!
Hop BroYou could finish with PUNK IPA or Heartland, or settle down with a stout. If you want to make a night of tasting side by side in Ura-Namba, this is a pretty great lineup.
MugiYeah, this is totally one of those I want to go right now situations! I'd start with Nishinari Riot Ale and then suddenly find myself aiming to conquer all 9 taps!
