Beer&Cafe Hafen lists Vit Natt IPA and ISEKADO Brown Ale
Beer&Cafe Hafen in Esaka, Osaka posted a new tap update on Instagram. The current lineup includes Minoh Beer’s Vit Natt IPA, ISEKADO’s Brown Ale, and Shonan Beer’s Lime Session, with more beers announced as next arrivals.
Hop BroToday's highlight is Beer&Cafe Hafen in Osaka's Esaka, and this fresh tap update is seriously strong.
MugiWait, Esaka is pouring that kind of lineup? What are the three beers on tap right now?
Hop BroThe headliner is Vit Natt IPA from Minoh Beer and BREWSKI, a revived Hazy IPA collab with huge aroma.
MugiHold on, Hazy IPA already sounds like a fog machine in a glass. What is that?
Hop BroIt's a cloudy IPA, and this one layers grapefruit and orange with mango and passion fruit, basically tropical aroma overload.
MugiWhoa, and oats plus wheat malt give it a super smooth mouthfeel? That sounds dangerously crushable!
Hop BroThen ISEKADO's Brown Ale comes in with the counterpunch, bringing rich malt depth and a bright citrus-hop lift.
MugiSo you get fruit-bomb energy and cozy malt in one lineup? And there's also Lime Session from Shonan Beer?
Hop BroExactly, and the next arrivals are PLUM GOSE and Nichinan Lemon Fresh-Squeezed Session Hazy IPA, so the range gets even wider.
Hop BroFor a small beer pub, Hafen is impressively organized: rotating 3 taps, 2 regular taps, around 40 bottles, and even upcoming tap info clearly laid out.
Hop BroIf you're going with three or more, book ahead, and with last order at 10 p.m., it's the kind of place that makes me want a slow tasting session.
MugiThat's it, I'm sold. Start with Vit Natt IPA, settle into the Brown Ale, and then straight to Esaka we go!
