Arrival

CRAFT BEER HOUSE molto!! in Umeda has added Gaiaphilia / ガイアフィリア from Totopia Brewery. The Instagram post describes it as a collaboration beer with WEST COAST BREWING.

The beer is described as having a fruity aroma reminiscent of ripe pineapple, followed by dank, herbal hop notes. It is said to be smooth and easy to drink, while still offering enough depth to keep each sip engaging. That makes it an approachable choice for drinkers who enjoy clear hop character without losing balance.

The venue gives the release a fitting setting. molto!! sits on the 31st floor of Hankyu Grand Building in Osaka's Umeda district, where guests can look out over the city while choosing from more than 20 craft beers and a menu built around Italian dishes and meat plates. The atmosphere is more beer pub than casual stop, with food and skyline both playing a role in the experience.

For this arrival, the simplest way to enjoy it is to start with a glass on its own, then pair it with food and see how the aroma shifts. In a city full of beer spots, this is the kind of tap news that gives regulars one more reason to head up to Umeda.
