Hop BroAt Beer&Cafe Hafen in Osaka's Esaka, three beers have been tapped. Nanto Shuzojo's Kölsch, Sankt Gallen's Shonan Gold, and Minoh Beer's Peach Weizen Shimizu Hakuto ver. are all on, and with Black Label and draft Guinness in the regular lineup too, it's a pretty dependable roster.
MugiWhoa, that lineup is too strong! Even with just the craft beers I'd be spinning, but with Black Label and Guinness in the mix too, it feels like a meeting has started to decide, 'Who are we starting with today?'
Hop BroThe first thing to note is Nanto Shuzojo's Kölsch. It's known as a beer made with water from underground Gyokusendo Cave, and it's crisp, clean, and hard to get tired of. On a hot day, it's a great fit for your first drink.
MugiKölsch, huh? That name sounds so fancy! Wait, do you pronounce it 'Kerlsh'? Suddenly this beer feels like it's from a European aristocrat or something!
Hop BroKölsch is a style that comes from Cologne, Germany, and it has a pale appearance with a light, brisk drinking feel. The description 'crisp and clean' fits perfectly, and its appeal is that it keeps the gentle umami of the malt while going down smoothly.
MugiI see, it's easy to drink but still has character! Then Sankt Gallen's Shonan Gold already makes me expect something like a citrus juice just from the name!
Hop BroYou're pretty much on target there. Shonan Gold makes citrus nuances easy to picture, and its bright aroma is the key point. It doesn't lean too far into sweetness; instead, it finishes with refreshment, so it's easy to drink even in hot weather.
MugiThen Minoh Beer's Peach Weizen Shimizu Hakuto ver. must be a peach aroma bomb!? When I hear fruit beer, I can't help imagining it like a dessert drink!
Hop BroThat's an important misunderstanding to clear up. Weizen has the soft texture that comes from wheat, and a gentle white peach aroma layers on top of it. In the Shimizu Hakuto ver., you should be able to enjoy both the fragrant lift and the rounded mouthfeel.
MugiAnd Beer&Cafe Hafen also has strong snacks, right? Not just beer, but takeout and draft sales too? It practically looks like it's asking us to stay a while!
Hop BroExactly. Being able to bar-hop near the station in Esaka is another appeal. You can go hard with the craft beers, then wrap things up with Black Label or draft Guinness. Today I'm honestly torn over which glass to start with.
MugiYeah, today's a perfect day for a tasting battle! With crisp Kölsch, citrus, and then peach all lined up, it feels like our throats are heading to Beer&Cafe Hafen before we are!
