Beer&Cafe Hafen updates its taps in Esaka with Hideji, Minoh, and Sankt Gallen
Beer&Cafe Hafen in Esaka, Suita City, Osaka, shared a new tap list on Instagram. The lineup currently includes beers from Miyazaki Hideji Beer, TAROS BREWING, and Minoh Beer, with upcoming kegs from Sankt Gallen and NOMCRAFT BREWING as well.
Hop BroBeer&Cafe Hafen in Esaka just did a tap refresh, and both the current pours and the next kegs look pretty bold.
MugiWhat! Beer&Cafe Hafen looks like such a calm little place, and the lineup is still that wild?
Hop BroRight now they've got Hideji Beer's "Nichinan Lemon Fresh-Squeezed Session Hazy IPA," TAROS BREWING's "HAKUNA MATATA," and Minoh Beer's "PLUM GOSE" on draft, so the current three taps are strong.
MugiHold on, Session Hazy IPA sounds like a spell. If I say it out loud, do hops suddenly triple?
Hop BroIt makes more sense when you split it up: light, hazy IPA. "Session" means easier-drinking, "hazy" means soft and cloudy, and this one brings a gentle lemon note.
MugiWhoa! Then what exactly is PLUM GOSE? Plum and gose sounds like a tiny fancy side dish!
Hop BroGose is a style with soft salinity and tartness, and adding plum gives it a neat, snappy finish. It shouldn't be too sour, and it sounds great with food.
MugiNo way, and next up is Peach Weizen Early Harvest too? We're talking taps, but this is starting to sound like a fruit stand!
Hop BroExactly, and Sankt Gallen's "Super Shonan Gold" plus NOMCRAFT BREWING's "Passion Magic" are on deck, so the next wave looks just as big. Peach, citrus, and passion fruit basically pass the aroma baton.
MugiI love that it's a cozy place for quiet drinks, but the contents are a festival. And reservations for 3+ are required, right? We need a real plan!
Hop BroThat fits the vibe too. It's the kind of bar where you follow keg changes and enjoy one careful glass at a time, and I'd start with PLUM GOSE.
MugiI'm going in with the lemon one and then hunting the peach weizen next! I want a pint right now so badly my throat already made the reservation!
Fresh taps in Esaka
Beer&Cafe Hafen is a beer pub on the first floor of Esaka Garden Heights in Esaka, Suita City, Osaka. In the latest post, the shop shared both its current tap list and the next beers to come in, giving local beer fans a clear view of what is pouring now and what is lined up next.
On tap now
The current lineup features Miyazaki Hideji Beer’s "Nichinan Lemon Fresh Pressed Session Hazy IPA," TAROS BREWING’s "HAKUNA MATATA," and Minoh Beer’s "PLUM GOSE." It is a compact but varied mix, ranging from a citrus-leaning session hazy IPA to a distinctive gose and a well-known Kansai craft beer name.
Next in line
The post also teases the next stock: Minoh Beer’s "Momo Weizen Wase ver," Sankt Gallen’s "Super Shonan Gold," and NOMCRAFT BREWING’s "Passion Magic." Fruit-forward and bright styles seem to be the theme, with peach, citrus, and passion fruit notes likely to appeal to drinkers looking for something aromatic and refreshing.
Because the shop is small, groups of three or more are asked to reserve in advance, except for drinks only. For people who like following tap changes closely, this is the kind of pub where each visit can feel a little different.
