MugiWhat?! What are the two beers like? I want to compare them already!
Hop BroNUDE BEER from Kyoto brings MISORA, a Helles with Kyoto bancha. It layers wild tea aromas onto gentle malt sweetness.
MugiWhat is Helles? Tea in beer? Bancha sneaked into beer?
Hop BroHelles is a pale German lager with restrained bitterness and a malty profile. MISORA adds an aroma like burning leaves.
MugiBurning leaves?! Autumn stroll in a glass?! Still, if it has a crisp, refreshing finish, I’m in!
Hop BroThe other newcomer is Hokkaido brewery Hop Kotan’s Harvest Brew 2026 -Rauch-, a Rauchbier made with fresh hops.
MugiRauch?! That sounds powerful! Is it one of your special moves? What does 100% fresh hops mean?
Hop BroNot a special move—though it should be. Rauchbier is a smoky beer, and fresh hops are used before drying, so you get smoke plus vivid green freshness.
MugiWow! Tea-infused MISORA and fresh-hop Rauchbier sound like an adventure. With T.Y.HARBOR’s KURO ichigo too, let’s toast in Esaka!
Beer&Cafe Hafen, a beer pub in Esaka, Suita, Osaka, has announced two newly tapped beers: MISORA from Kyoto’s NUDE BEER and Harvest Brew 2026 -Rauch- from Hokkaido’s Hop Kotan Brewing.
MISORA is a Helles brewed with Kyobancha tea. Its gentle malt sweetness is joined by the wild, distinctive aroma of roasted tea. The post describes a nostalgic smoky scent reminiscent of burning fallen leaves when the beer is poured. Although it offers a savory, full-bodied impression from the combination of malt sweetness and smoke, its bitterness remains restrained, leading to a clean and refreshing finish.
Harvest Brew 2026 -Rauch- combines Hop Kotan Brewing’s fresh-hop Harvest Brew concept with Rauchbier, the classic smoked-beer style. The brewery uses fresh hops available only during the limited harvest season, and this release is presented as a Rauchbier made with 100% fresh hops. Alongside the smoke character, drinkers can expect the vivid freshness associated with recently harvested hops.
The current tap list also includes T.Y.HARBOR’s KURO Ichigo from Tokyo, while Yokohama Bay Brewing’s Zaerts 419 is listed as a forthcoming beer. With tea, smoke, fresh hops, and fruit represented across the selection, Beer&Cafe Hafen offers a varied lineup for tasting in Esaka. The pub has also announced that it will be closed on October 20; visitors should check its social media for the latest updates.
