Hop BroSomething worth checking just landed in Umeda. At Craft Beer Market Whity Umeda, Minoh Beer's Coffee IPA has gone on tap.
MugiWhat! Beer and coffee together? What even is Coffee IPA? That sounds like breakfast and happy hour collided!
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. It’s a collab with TAKAMURA COFFEE ROASTERS, and the roast stays subtle, while fruity aroma and hop character still lead the way.
MugiWhoa, okay, but when you say 'hop character' and 'fruity notes,' that jargon avalanche just fizzed straight through my brain!
Hop BroPut simply, a bright aroma hits first, the coffee supports from the back, and it finishes dry with a light bitterness. So it still drinks like an easy IPA.
MugiNow that sounds great! If the coffee doesn’t overtake it, an easy-drinking IPA is exactly my speed!
Hop BroAnd before the July 11 event even starts, HIROSHIMA NEIGHBORLY BREWING already sent over ten beers in advance. That’s the real headline.
MugiTen beers!? That’s basically a tasting paradise! What kinds are they pouring?
Hop BroThe range is wide: lager, sake-kasu sour ale, session IPA, hazy, even cold IPA. I’m especially watching HNB Hazy IPA and INCEPTION 2026.
MugiThat lineup is wild! If they’ve got both crisp and punchy options, I am not stopping at one.
Hop BroAnd since it’s in Whity Umeda, inside NOMOKA on B1F, it’s right by the station. An easy stopover spot like that makes me want to start with Coffee IPA and then work through HNB.
MugiThat settles it. Coffee IPA first, then a full HNB tour. Tonight’s first pint is Umeda for sure!
At Craft Beer Market Whity Umeda, a beer pub on the B1F level of the Whity Umeda NOMOKA underground shopping street in Osaka, two updates came in at once: a fresh tap opening and an early delivery for an upcoming event. The location makes it easy to stop by in the middle of a day in Umeda, whether you are looking for a quick pint or a small tasting session.
The newly tapped beer is Coffee IPA, a collaboration between TAKAMURA COFFEE ROASTERS and Minoh Beer. According to the post, the coffee roast character stays restrained, while fruity aromatics and hop character come together cleanly. The finish is dry, with a crisp IPA-style bitterness that keeps the beer balanced rather than overly coffee-forward.
In addition, ten event beers from Hiroshima Neighborly Brewing have already arrived ahead of the July 11 event. The lineup is:
- Hiroshima Hinode Lager
- Shimenowa ~Sodachi-zakari~
- Lemoble GO
- Daigouryō Sakekasu SOUR ALE -Ichika-
- SAKURA MOMO DROPS
- HIROSHIMA Lemon Sukatto Session IPA
- Teagarmot Journey IPA
- Hondori Westside Classic IPA
- HNB Hazy IPA
- INCEPTION 2026 ~IBUKI COLD IPA~
The range covers lager, sour ale, session IPA, hazy IPA, and cold IPA, so the spread is broad enough to make a proper tasting stop. If you are looking for craft beer in central Osaka, this underground pub now has a very clear reason to visit.
