Osaka's café&beer Arca-Archa published its tap lineup for July 13.

The food menu also leans summer-friendly, with dishes like water eggplant sashimi and gizzard ajillo.
Hop BroNamba just dropped a lineup worth talking about: nine taps centered on Osaka locals at café&beer Aruka for July 13.
MugiWait, a local-heavy lineup? And nine taps in Namba? That sounds like a summer festival with glassware!
Hop BroThe headliner feels like 13 Red Ale, a Session Red IPA from Aruka x Wands Brewery, plus HybridTheory from Osaka Namba Brewers and Mango Shake IPA from MARCA.
MugiSession Red IPA is way too many words at once. It's red, it's IPA, it's session... my brain already ordered a pint!
Hop BroSession strength usually means lower alcohol and easy drinking, and the red part points to malt color and a lightly toasty note.
MugiOhhh! Then Lemon Saison and that Boku Cardamom one sound perfect for hot weather.
Hop BroExactly. Saison stays light and spicy, DerailleurBrew Works' Boku Cardamom is a cardamom wheat with the aroma popping, and Beppin Sakekasu Ale from CIVIC BREWERS brings soft umami from sake lees.
MugiWhat! Sake lees umami in beer? That's like a pub secretly becoming a tiny izakaya. Water eggplant sashimi and that gizzard-myoga ginger ajillo are unfair.
Hop BroAnd the food list is strong. It's basically summer plate after summer plate, from fried okra to shiso genovese pasta, so it works for a quick glass or a proper session.
MugiWith stout, PUNK IPA, and even Heartland in there, the range of drinking moods is wild. One stop and you're on a whole beer trip.
Hop BroPlus it's in Ura-Namba, with draft 9 TAP and over 100 cans and bottles, so just reading this makes me want a post-work pint.
MugiThat settles it. Let's grab a terrace seat, order craft beer and great food, and start with 13 Red Ale before I talk myself into all nine taps!
