café&beer あるか➝アるか posts a nine-tap local draft lineup in Namba
The beer pub café&beer あるか➝アるか in Namba, Osaka shared its tap lineup in an August 28 post. The list features nine draft beers, mostly from Osaka breweries, ranging from a house collaboration to Belgian white, gose, stout, and a familiar lager.
Hop BroToday’s topic is the nine-tap lineup at café&beer Aruka➝Aruka in Namba Sennichimae. It’s centered on Osaka locals, with everything from collaboration kegs to classic lager, and the balance is really strong.
MugiWhat! Osaka-local focused already sounds fun! But with nine taps, my decision-making skills would evaporate in about three seconds!
Hop BroThe first one that jumps out is 13 Red Ale from Aruka→Aruka × Ones Brewery. The style is Session Red IPA, with red malt richness and hop character kept light and drinkable.
MugiHold on, what does session mean? Why does this beer suddenly sound like it’s headlining a music festival?
Hop BroSession means the alcohol is a bit lower so you can keep drinking comfortably. Basically, it’s an IPA with stamina. Not too heavy, but still full of character.
MugiOhh! Then I’m curious about Lavender&Chamomile from CRAFT BEER BASE too! A herbal golden ale sounds so stylish it might arrive wearing perfume.
Hop BroAnd Ones Brewery’s CGS is a GOSE-style beer, which is a fun curveball. It has a gentle saltiness and acidity, the kind that snaps your palate into focus on a hot day.
MugiWhat is that! A salty beer is a lot to process! My brain is currently sitting at the beach trying to understand itself!
Hop BroThen you’ve got Swallowtail from BAK Brewery as a YuzuPepperSaison, MINT BLUE LINE SWINGER from Derailleur Brew Works, plus Minoh Beer’s STOUT and Osaru IPA, so the style range is wild. It’s easy to go from light pours to heavier ones.
MugiAnd with water eggplant sashimi, shkmeruli, and marinated summer vegetables, the snack lineup is absurdly strong too! You can build pairings glass by glass!
Hop BroAt a place like this, the satisfying move is to try the local oddballs first and finish with Heartland. That full-course route just feels right, and it’s the kind of bar that makes you want to track the tap rotation.
MugiThen it’s settled! Start with 13 Red Ale, get surprised by the GOSE, and land on Heartland at the end. I want the cheers at Aruka course right now!
