Hop BroWeekend in Esaka, and the new tap opening news is hot! Beer&Cafe Hafen posted its tap info on March 14.
MugiWhat? Hafen, that place? Just hearing the phrase weekend starter beer makes me want to sprint there after work!
Hop BroThis time’s star is Mellow Times Lager. It’s a beer from Mugizakkoku Kobo Microbrewery, and its selling points are its crisp aroma and light body.
MugiWhat is that! Does crisp aroma mean it makes a crunchy sound like chips!?
Hop BroNo sound, but I get what you mean! Basically, it’s clean and sharply aromatic, with what you’d call high drinkability, so it’s perfect as a first beer.
MugiOhhh! So the right move is to start with the lager and then move on to the tasting route!
Hop BroExactly. They also have Yokohama Bay Brewing’s Pedaling 4 IPA and Y.MARKET BREWING’s Decorian, so it’s a three-way tap lineup.
MugiWow, from IPA to a distinctive ale too! And they’ve got Black Label and draft Guinness as well, so their range is way too broad!
Hop BroThey also have upcoming Minoh Beer MUGICHA BITTER and Y.MARKET’s Ncha! lined up. Since it’s a small shop, they also note that reservations are recommended for groups of three or more.
MugiI like that they pair the beer with food too. Drinking slowly in that relaxed atmosphere really suits me!
Hop BroThen it’s decided: let’s toast with Mellow Times Lager first, and then work through the rest one by one. This is totally the Esaka course for tonight.
MugiAgreed! Just imagining the first sip is already getting me excited! Let’s get that first drink already!
Beer&Cafe Hafen (Esaka-cho, Suita City, Osaka Prefecture) announced the day’s tap lineup in a March 14 post at 11:45. In the post, it introduced Mellow Times Lager from Mugizakkoku Kobo Microbrewery as the new opening for the “weekend starter beer.” With its crisp aroma and light, easy-drinking character, it is a beer that fits well as the first order.
At the same time, the taps also included Yokohama Bay Brewing’s Pedaling 4 IPA and Y.MARKET BREWING’s Decorian. The lineup lets visitors compare a lager, an IPA, and a distinctive ale at one shop, making it an appealing spread for craft beer fans.
In addition, the regular offerings include Sapporo Draft Beer Black Label and draft Guinness. As a preview of upcoming beers, the shop also announced Minoh Beer’s MUGICHA BITTER and Y.MARKET BREWING’s Ncha!.
The interior is that of a small beer pub, and the post recommends making reservations for parties of three or more. It is a spot suited to people in the Esaka area who want to follow tap freshness in a relaxed setting. Limited menus and seasonal ingredient suggestions are also offered alongside the beer, so even though beer is the focus, the operation naturally conveys an approach of enjoying it together with food.
