Aruka→Aru-ka: 9 taps centered on Osaka-local beers on April 28
The beer pub café&beer あるか→アるか in Osaka's Namba Sennichimae will operate with 9 taps centered on Osaka-local beers on April 28. Regional picks such as 13 Red Ale, Ikeda Mikan Wit, and Sake Ale will be on the lineup.
Hop BroNamba Sennichimae's 9 taps centered on Osaka-local beers is a pretty interesting day. On April 28, café&beer あるか→アるか is going all-in on local pride.
MugiWhoa! Nine taps is already a lot, but centered on Osaka-local beers? That sounds exciting! But what kind of beers are actually on the list?
Hop BroThe headline beer is the venue-named 13 Red Ale / Session Red IPA. It's a collaboration between Aruka→Aru-ka and Ones Brewery, and it's a beer that lets you enjoy both reddish malt character and hop character.
MugiSession Red IPA has way too much information in the name! What does session even mean? Does it just mean it's easier to have another one?
Hop BroBasically, it's an easy-drinking IPA. The alcohol is kept lower, but the hop aroma is still there, so it's the kind of beer you can enjoy for a long time.
MugiI see! Then Ikeda Mikan Wit sounds great too! Just hearing 'mikan' makes it sound bright and easy to drink!
Hop BroWhat's fun is that Sake Ale and Pilsener are on the same lineup too. With CRAFT BEER BASE, 万里乃春酒造, MARCA BREWING, and Minoh Beer all represented, both hop fans and malt fans are going to have a hard time choosing.
MugiWait, they even have PUNK IPA!? And if Heartland is there too, that means both the adventurous crowd and the comfort-seekers are covered!
Hop BroExactly, it's a lineup that's easy to compare side by side. You could start with Hazy IPA for the aroma, reset with Pilsener, and finish with STOUT or 13 Red Ale. It's a really clean flow.
MugiThe food is a total beer thief lineup too! Confit of koshodai, garlic krupuk, and more? There's no way one drink will be enough!
Hop BroAnd with Craft Beer Live advance tickets on sale too, the reason to go is just too strong. With a lineup like this in Namba, tonight definitely won't end with just one more drink.
MugiYeah, this is totally a I want to go right now kind of day! Start with Ikeda Mikan Wit, then 13 Red Ale, and before you know it, the two of us are probably clinking glasses!
At café&beer あるか→アるか in Osaka's Namba Sennichimae, the bar will also be open from 17:00 on April 28, the eve of a holiday. In a post, it announced the day's lineup as '9 taps centered on Osaka-local beers.'
The standout is the house-named 13 Red Ale / Session Red IPA. It is a collaboration between あるか→アるか×ワンズブルワリー, and a beer with a distinctly local character. Also on tap are CRAFT BEER BASE's Ikeda Mikan Wit, 万里乃春酒造's Sake Ale, MARCA BREWING's Hazy IPA and Pilsener, and Minoh Beer's Osaru IPA and STOUT. Alongside OSAKA beers, the lineup also includes PUNK IPA from Scotland's BrewDog Brewing and the classic Heartland.
This selection works well both for people who want to compare local breweries and for those who want to start with something easy to drink. If you want to enjoy hop aroma, Hazy IPA or PUNK IPA are good choices; if you want something lighter, Ikeda Mikan Wit or Pilsener fit the bill; and if you want a more substantial finish, STOUT or 13 Red Ale would be the easiest picks.
On the food side, the lineup includes Confit of koshodai with daikon mustard marinade, spicy huajiao garlic krupuk (shrimp crackers), bonito marinated with herb breadcrumbs, smelt with kiwi salsa sauce, gai tod, deep-fried cartilage, ethnic style, and mimiga with cilantro, giving you plenty of options from light bites to more substantial dishes to pair with the beer.
Advance tickets for Craft Beer Live are also on sale. If you're drinking craft beer in Namba, this is a venue to watch as a place where you can take your time and enjoy both food and beer.
