The beer pub "café&beer Aruka ➝ Aruka" in Osaka's Namba Sennichimae has released its tap list for March 16. In-house, it is serving nine beers centered on local Osaka breweries, spanning IPA, red, wheat, coffee amber, stout, and pilsner, creating a lineup with a wide range for tasting comparisons.
Hop BroThe tap update at café&beer Aruka ➝ Aruka in Namba is hot for March 16! It's 9 taps centered on Osaka locals, and they kicked off hard from 17:00.
MugiWait, that many choices in one day? The breadth of the tasting lineup is so huge, I'd get lost just looking at the menu!
Hop BroAnd the IPA lineup is strong. Hybrid Theory, Hop Schema 057 Nectaron, PUNK IPA, and even Third Wife Cavendish are there. The cool part is being able to track the hop differences across multiple IPA labels.
MugiWhat! What's the difference between a JUICY IMPERIAL IPA and a regular IPA? That name sounds way too intense!
Hop BroImperial usually means higher alcohol and a fuller body, while juicy means the fruit-juice-like aroma really comes forward. In short, it's more aroma and more intensity all around.
MugiOhhh! So if you start with the heavy stuff first, that's dangerous. You need a strategy for the order!
Hop BroExactly. Start with the 13 Red Ale Session Red IPA, play with the aroma in the Cardamon Wheat, shift into roasty territory with the COFFEE AMBER, and finish with the STOUT or Heartland. That gives you a complete flow in one place.
MugiCardamom wheat and coffee amber!? It's a roller coaster of spice and roastiness. My mouth is going to be busy!
Hop BroThey also say the food works well with everything from light snacks to meals, and the way they mix local core breweries with overseas staples is smart. The strength of the local-focused lineup really stands out.
MugiDecided! Let's meet in Namba at 17:00 and start with the reds first! I want to take on all 9 taps tonight!
