Beer&Cafe Hafen posts a summer tap list with NOMCRAFT and Shiga Kogen beers
Beer&Cafe Hafen in Esaka, Suita, Osaka, shared its latest tap lineup on Instagram. The current list includes NOMCRAFT Brewing's Passion Magic, Shiga Kogen's Miyama Blonde, and Miyazaki Hideji Beer’s Nichinan Lemon Fresh-Squeezed Session Hazy IPA, with two more beers announced as next arrivals.
Hop BroToday's topic is summer fruit taps. Beer&Cafe Hafen in Esaka just posted its latest list on Instagram.
MugiWhat! That sounds instantly tropical. NOMCRAFT's Passion Magic already feels like it belongs in a juice bar!
Hop BroThat instinct is right. Passion Magic uses passion fruit from Nakijin, Okinawa, with grapefruit and mango layered in for maximum juicy vibes.
MugiWhoa! But Session Hazy IPA suddenly sounds like a spell from wizard school.
Hop BroNot a spell, just beer shorthand. Session means lower ABV and easy drinking, Hazy IPA means cloudy and aromatic, and this fresh-squeezed Nichinan lemon version is basically full lemon mode.
MugiOkay, so it means refreshing, crushable, and still super fragrant? That's basically summer in a glass.
Hop BroExactly, and Shiga Kogen Beer's Miyama Blonde makes the lineup smarter. Next to all the flashy fruit beers, that gentle blonde ale keeps things balanced.
MugiWait, the upcoming pours look strong too! Yuru Buru spelt from Shiga Kogen... what is spelt now, spell number two?
Hop BroIt's an ancient grain, kind of a wheat relative. It can add softness and a toasty edge, and with Sankt Gallen's Chou Shonan Gold coming too, they've got the next wave covered.
MugiAnd it's that tiny beer pub where groups of three or more need reservations, right? I suddenly have a tap takeover plan.
Hop BroThat's the move. We track the keg swaps and get to Esaka before the 10:00 p.m. last order for our one pint mission.
MugiDone. Passion Magic, the Nichinan Lemon Session Hazy IPA, and maybe even Chou Shonan Gold next... this list makes me want them all!
