Hop BroA Namba Sennichimae beer pub announcing a nine-tap update alone gets your heart racing. café&beer Aruka→Aruka has dropped its tap list for March 26.
MugiWhoa, that many!? Mostly Osaka local sounds like a hometown beer festival!
Hop BroThis time the standout is the collaboration beer with the shop's name, 13 Red Ale / Session Red IPA. It's a pour from Aruka→Aruka and One's Brewery, and it really shows the bar's character.
MugiSession... Red... IPA... what even is that! That's a traffic jam of names, but what does it taste like?
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it's a reddish IPA-leaning beer that drinks pretty lightly. I picture it as having easy-drinking bitterness balanced with the roasty aroma of malt.
MugiOhhh! Then Ikeda Mikan Wit sounds like it would bring a soft burst of mandarin aroma, so I'm curious!
Hop BroExactly right. It's CRAFT BEER BASE's citrus-forward Witbier, the kind that layers a gentle wheat character with a mandarin note.
MugiNishinari Riot Ale and Caroten Shower, huh? Those names are way too energetic! It feels like Osaka personality explosion!
Hop BroWhat's more, the style range is broad, which is great. APA, Hazy IPA, BLONDE ALE, and even hazy beers like Katano Kasumi are on tap, so it's easy to pick based on your mood that day.
MugiHazy IPA Yuzu is tempting too, and having PUNK IPA and Heartland there is strong! Being able to pick by mood is the best!
Hop BroEnding with a STOUT to settle down is an option too, and pairing it with fried chicken or mapo potatoes would be great. This is definitely a place that makes you want to raise a glass in Namba today.
MugiYeah, I want to go! I'll sample the local beers side by side and order the char siu egg too!
