Hop BroBeer&Cafe Hafen in Osaka's Esaka has posted its tap lineup for April 2, and it's a pretty solid cast.
MugiWhoa! Isn't that tap list way too luxurious? It feels like it could decide my plans for the day on its own!
Hop BroToday's Taps includes Minoh Beer's Nice na Bitter, OTAMA BREWING's HARUMACHI Hazy IPA, and Baeren's Onmenburoi.
MugiWhat is that! What's a Hazy IPA? Is the haziness in the look or the flavor?
Hop BroA hazy beer has a cloudy appearance, and it's a style where hop aroma tends to stand out. HARUMACHI Hazy IPA should be the kind of beer where the aroma takes center stage.
MugiOhh! Then side by side with a bitter, that's the kind of lineup that's fun to compare. Having Black Label and Guinness there too gives it such a reassuring feel!
Hop BroExactly. When the regular lineup has Black Label and Guinness, the craft-beer attack and the classic-beer defense are both nicely covered.
MugiAnd on top of that, the next candidates include Daisen G Beer's Yuzu Weiss and American Amber Lager, plus Iwate Kura's Sakura Arashi IPA.
Hop BroYeah, Yuzu Weiss brings citrus notes, the amber lager has malty sweetness, and the IPA brings hop energy, so the range of character is really wide.
MugiWait, if reservations are required for parties of three or more, then a random big-group drop-in is risky! And last order is at 22:00 too.
Hop BroAnd April 4, Saturday, is closed for regular service because of an event, so checking social media first is the safe move. This is definitely the kind of place that makes you want to track draft beer in Esaka.
MugiYeah, I want to go right now! Just thinking about what to drink next is exciting, so, hop bro, let's have another one tonight!
Hop BroSounds good. Let's start with the bitter, then enjoy the contrast with the hazy. I've got a feeling tonight won't end with just one glass.
