Hop BroToday’s topic is café&beer あるか➝アるか in Namba, Osaka: on Sunday, August 9 at 1:00 p.m., they’re pouring nine mostly local taps.
MugiWait, that many in Namba? If it runs from IPA to stout, I’d get lost in the menu by lunchtime!
Hop BroThe headliner is 13 Red Ale / Session Red IPA, a house-named beer that instantly makes the lineup feel extra special.
MugiWhat is that even! Session Red IPA sounds like three beers trying to wear one coat!
Hop BroSession means lower alcohol and easy to keep drinking, red points to malt richness, and IPA brings hop aroma and bitterness. Put together, it’s light but aromatic.
MugiOhhh, so it’s friendly even for newer drinkers! And a full lineup of Osaka brewers too? That’s such a flex.
Hop BroExactly. You’ve got CRAFT BEER BASE IPA, MARCA BREWING’s DDH IPA, and Derailleur Brew Works’ NIGHT RIDER ROUTE 26, so hop fans are eating well.
MugiThere it is again, the spell! What does DDH mean? Because to me it means ‘dangerously delicious hops’!
Hop BroClose, but not quite. DDH means extra dry hopping, basically boosting the aroma hard. Then it gets even more fun with cucumber ale and peach weizen.
MugiCucumber and peach too? So it’s got curveball taps as well. Even I’d feel brave enough to explore.
Hop BroAnd from 5:00 p.m. they add food like mizunasu sashimi and shiso genovese pasta, so it really covers from daytime pints to dinner. Honestly, now I want a pour too.
MugiThen it’s settled: I want peach weizen with mizunasu, and you’re obviously taking DDH IPA with chicken ham. Take me to Namba already!
Café & Beer Arca-Archa in Namba Sennichimae is set to open at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 9, with a lineup of nine taps centered on local Osaka breweries. It is a straightforward beer-forward setup that should appeal to drinkers who want to sample a range of styles in one stop.
The list includes 13 Red Ale / Session Red IPA by Arca-Archa x One's Brewery, IPA from CRAFT BEER BASE, KappaBoy / Cucumber Summer Ale from BAK Brewery, DDH IPA from MARCA BREWING, and NIGHT RIDER ROUTE 26 / Session IPA from Derailleur Brew Works. Also on tap are Swallowtail from BAK Brewery, Stout from Minoh Beer, Momo Weizen Early ver / Fruit weizen from Minoh Beer, and Heartland / Pilsner from Kirin Brewery.
Food is listed from 5:00 p.m., including water eggplant sashimi, chicken ham with scallion sauce, peach and eggplant salad, gizzard and chive kimchi, shiso pesto pasta, and spicy salsiccia pizza. That makes the bar workable for both a quick beer stop and a longer meal.
Located at 4-37 Namba Sennichimae in Chuo-ku, Osaka, the venue fits the Ura Namba beer-pub style: relaxed, local, and focused on easy drinking rather than theatrics. On Aug. 9, the tap list is the main draw.
