Beer&Cafe Hafen shares five taps in Esaka, led by OTAMA BREWING
Beer&Cafe Hafen in Esaka, Osaka, posted its current tap list on Instagram. The lineup includes beers from OTAMA BREWING, Sanktgallen, and Shiroyama Brewery, with future taps from HOJO.Brewing & Stays and Shiga Kogen Beer also mentioned.
Hop BroToday’s lineup at Beer&Cafe Hafen in Esaka, Osaka is pretty great. They’re even showing the three beers on tap now plus the next two coming up.
MugiWhat, all five at once? That’s way too helpful. I’d already be planning my drinking order before I even sit down!
Hop BroPouring right now are OTAMA BREWING’s MAGIC TIME IPA, Sankt Gallen’s Chou Shonan Gold, and Shiroyama Brewery’s Stout (Amami brown sugar), and they all point in totally different flavor directions.
MugiWhat does different directions even mean? It sounds like the beers all ran off to join separate bands!
Hop BroFor example, MAGIC TIME IPA has a defined hop profile, so the bitterness and aroma feel sharp and clear. Chou Shonan Gold brings bright citrus, and the brown sugar stout wraps everything up with rich depth.
MugiWait, defined hop profile makes it sound like the hops took passport photos. So you mean the aroma and bitterness really stand out?
Hop BroExactly, think of it as bold aroma lines. And the next beers waiting in the wings are HOJO.Brewing & Stays’ Saison and Shiga Kogen Beer’s Yuru Blue spelt.
MugiNo way, even the next in line sounds tempting! I kind of know saison, but spelt? Is that a grain or a wizard spell?
Hop BroSpelt means spelt grain, a relative of wheat. It can add a soft cereal note and its own distinct character, which makes following the tap rotation part of the fun.
MugiThis is fully becoming a drink order meeting. I’d be deciding my first glass while my stomach and my curiosity fight each other!
Hop BroThat’s the beauty of a tap rotation story. You can sit back in Esaka, sip slowly, and already imagine what you’ll want next.
MugiI’m sold, this is a Beer&Cafe Hafen mood now. I want to chase all three current taps and the next two right after them!
Beer&Cafe Hafen in Esaka, Osaka, shared a tap update on Instagram under the post title "こんにちは♪ハーフェンです。" The bar, located on the first floor of Esaka Garden Heights, presented five beers in two groups: the beers currently on tap and the next two candidates.
The current lineup features `MAGIC TIME IPA` from OTAMA BREWING, `超湘南ゴールド` from Sanktgallen, and `スタウト(奄美黒糖)` from Shiroyama Brewery. It is a balanced set with three distinct directions: a hop-forward IPA, a citrus-leaning beer, and a stout brewed with Amami brown sugar.
The upcoming taps are `Saison` from HOJO.Brewing & Stays and `ゆるブルspelt` from Shiga Kogen Beer. That shift, from a light saison to a beer made with spelt, gives the tap list a sense of movement that beer fans will likely appreciate.
Beer&Cafe Hafen looks like a place where you can check what is pouring now and plan your first pint accordingly. For drinkers who enjoy following a rotating tap list, it is the kind of bar worth keeping an eye on before heading to Esaka.
