Beer&Cafe Hafen in Esaka taps Hansharo Beer x COCO FARM & WINERY's limited red
Beer&Cafe Hafen in Esaka, Suita, Osaka has updated its tap list. The lineup includes Hansharo Beer x COCO FARM & WINERY's natural-yeast red, Ise Kadoya Beer's Nekojima, and MARCA's Coffee Amber, with Ise Kadoya Beer Brown Ale listed as an upcoming keg.
Hop BroBeer&Cafe Hafen in Esaka just tapped a limited red collab. It’s a Hansharo Beer x COCO FARM & WINERY release, and this one is seriously intriguing.
MugiWait, what! A beer like red wine? The name alone already sounds fancier than my entire weekend plan!
Hop BroIt’s called Natural Yeast Beer Aka. They used Tannat and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes for red wine, then aged it in oak barrels for two years with wild yeast.
MugiWhat is that even! Oak barrel aging sounds so classy I feel underdressed just hearing it!
Hop BroIt means the beer rests in wooden barrels so the aroma and flavor get deeper. Basically, you get wine-like aroma layered into the beer.
MugiOhhh! So it’s not just heavy and serious, right? If it has a gentle acidity, that sounds amazing on a hot day.
Hop BroExactly. It’s basically Flanders red-inspired, with fruity notes and a really complex aroma. Just describing it makes me want a glass.
MugiThere it is, the beer jargon! What’s Flanders red? You said that like it’s a finishing move!
Hop BroIn simple terms, it’s a Belgian-style reddish beer with tangy, fruity character that can remind you of red wine. And Hafen also has Nekojima and COFFEE AMBER on tap, so the lineup is stacked.
MugiThat lineup is ridiculous! And next up they’ve got Brown Ale coming in too, right? That’s the kind of tap rotation that makes you want to keep coming back.
Hop BroThe vibe sounds good too. Cool room, hot food, cold beer, and if you come with three or more people you should book ahead. Also, last order is 10 PM, and they may close if there are no guests.
MugiThat settles it. I want cold beer with hot food in Esaka, and I want to start with that red. Hop bro, I’m officially in full drinking mode now!

The next keg announcement includes Ise Kadoya Beer / Brown Ale. Because the lineup changes often, the shop looks like a place where repeat visits can bring different beers from the same rotating system.
