MugiWait, three at once? That's a tasting paradise. Just hearing that makes me happy before I even step inside!
Hop BroThe centerpiece is Ise Kadoya Beer's "Nikukyuu IPA." It's a dry West Coast IPA brewed as a 29th anniversary beer, using Pilsner malt and rice, with Strata, Krush, and ADHA 1631 hops doing the work.
MugiADHA 1631? What is that, a code name? It suddenly feels like chemistry class started!
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it's a hop variety name or development code. With citrus and pine, plus mango and passion fruit-like notes, it may look dry, but the aroma is quite layered.
MugiOhhh, now I'm curious about the next one, "Gold Ban!" too. The name sounds energetic, but what kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt's a three-way collaboration brew from Swan Lake Beer Brewery, POLISH HOPS, and HINO BREWING. Based on a golden ale, it uses the gentle aroma of Polish hops to strike a balance between lightness and drinking satisfaction.
MugiThat sounds like one of those beers that's light but still satisfying. The most dangerous and delicious kind!
Hop BroAnd there's also St. Gallen's "Shonan Gold," plus the shop's recommended food is stir-fried sweet garlic sprouts and pork with black pepper. It pairs well with citrusy aromas and golden-ale styles, so the food-and-beer lineup is really well put together.
MugiAnd they're even teasing "Mugi no Manimani" as the next candidate, which makes this a definite regular-stop situation. This makes me want to go to Esaka together and work through the drafts one by one!
The beer pub "Beer&Cafe Hafen" in Esaka, Osaka, has announced its latest tap list. In the post, three newly tapped beers were introduced: Ise Kadoya Beer's "Nikukyuu IPA," HINO BREWING's "Gold Ban!," and St. Gallen's "Shonan Gold."
According to the brewery's description, "Nikukyuu IPA" is a dry West Coast IPA brewed as its 29th anniversary beer. Made with Pilsner malt and rice, this beer combines Strata, Krush, and ADHA 1631 hops, and is said to feature citrus and piney impressions, along with aromas reminiscent of mango and passion fruit. At Hafen, the idea is to enjoy this well-defined IPA as a food-pairing beer.
"Gold Ban!" is a three-way collaboration between Swan Lake Beer Brewery, POLISH HOPS, and HINO BREWING. Based on a golden ale, it makes use of the gentle aroma of Polish hops and is said to be crafted with a balance of lightness and drinking depth in mind. It looks like a beer that works well on its own or alongside light dishes.
On the fruitier side, "Shonan Gold" is also on tap. The shop's notice also highlights a recent popular food item, "stir-fried sweet garlic sprouts and pork with black pepper," and the lineup makes it easy to build a wide range of food pairings, from hop-forward beers to citrusy styles and golden ales.
