Hop BroUra-Namba's 9 taps unveiled today, and café&beer Aruka→Aruka has brought in an interesting lineup. In Osaka's Namba Sennichimae, the atmosphere of enjoying beer together with food is part of what makes this place special.
MugiWhoa, nine beers!? And they're mostly Osaka-local? Just looking at the list is enough to get me excited.
Hop BroThe main highlight is the shop's namesake collaboration Session Red IPA. `13 Red Ale / Session Red IPA / あるか→アるか×ワンズブルワリー` seems to be a beer that balances a reddish malt character with easy drinkability.
MugiSession what!? I get that it means light and easygoing, but the name suddenly got so pro-level that I got left behind!
Hop BroIn simple terms, it means it's designed to be easy to keep drinking. That's why a first pour like `Lavender&Chamomile / Golden Ale with herbs / CRAFT BEER BASE`, with its herbal aroma, also works really well.
MugiWhat is that, it sounds like it would win on aroma alone! Lavender and chamomile? That's basically tea in beer's clothing.
Hop BroAnd this time, the IPA side is well represented too: `NIGHT RIDER ROUTE 26 / Session IPA / Derailleur Brew Works`, `NEWBIE / Sour IPA / BAK Brewing`, and `PUNK IPA / IPA / BrewDog Brewing` make it a triple strike of bitterness and acidity.
MugiWhoa, there's even a sour IPA!? My brain, which thought beer was just bitter, can't keep up!
Hop BroOn top of that, `CoffeeAmber / MARCA BREWING`, `Barley Tea Bitter / Barley tea bitter / Minoh Beer`, and `STOUT / Minoh Beer` add plenty of aroma and depth. Finishing with `Heartland / Pilsner / Kirin Beer` is a nice way to round things out too.
MugiThe words "barley tea bitter" alone make me laugh, but it probably has great food pairing too! The bacon and shungiku savory pie, the chicken tender fritters, all of it sounds delicious.
Hop BroExactly. It packs in the fun of finding the perfect glass to match your mood for the day at a back-street Ura-Namba spot. Today, do you go light first, or take your time with the local labels? Just thinking about it makes me thirsty.
MugiI can't take it anymore, I want to go drinking right now! Let's start with the herbal golden ale, then the barley tea bitter, and finish with the stout for pure happiness!
From the beer pub "café&beer あるか→アるか" in Ura-Namba, Osaka, today's tap list has arrived. The shop is located at 4-37 Namba Sennichimae, Chuo Ward, Osaka City, and its appeal lies not only in the way it helps you choose beers, but also in the atmosphere that makes them enjoyable alongside food.
This nine-tap lineup is built mainly around Osaka-local beers while also making sure to include staple labels. The first that stands out is the collaboration bearing the shop's name, `13 Red Ale / Session Red IPA / あるか→アるか×ワンズブルワリー`.

Next, `Lavender&Chamomile / Golden Ale with herbs / CRAFT BEER BASE` is a herb-infused golden ale. With its intriguing aroma, it is a good choice when you want to start with something light. Another notable feature of this lineup is the presence of IPA styles with distinctly different drinking impressions, including `NIGHT RIDER ROUTE 26 / Session IPA / Derailleur Brew Works` and `NEWBIE / Sour IPA / BAK Brewing`.
If you want more aroma and depth, `CoffeeAmber / MARCA BREWING`, `Barley Tea Bitter / Barley tea bitter / Minoh Beer`, and `STOUT / Minoh Beer` are the candidates to look at. Add `PUNK IPA / IPA / BrewDog Brewing` and `Heartland / Pilsner / Kirin Beer`, and the result is a well-balanced selection with both local character and familiar staples.
The food list includes items such as a savory pie with bacon and shungiku, chicken tender fritters, edamame rillettes, and pescatore pasta, so there is plenty of fun in choosing beer together with the dishes rather than on its own. This is a lineup suited to anyone who wants to find the one glass that matches the mood of the day at a small back-street spot.
