café&beer Arca/Archa in Osaka’s Namba lines up nine taps on June 7
The Namba Senichimae beer pub café&beer Arca/Archa announced a nine-tap lineup for June 7. The selection is centered on local Osaka breweries, ranging from a house collaboration red IPA to a herb-infused golden ale, an IPL, a yuzu hazy IPA, a stout, and a lager.
Hop BroIf you're hunting for a first drink in Namba, this nine-tap lineup for June 7 is worth a look. café&beer Aruka is pouring a spread centered on local Osaka craft beer.
MugiWait, nine taps at once? That's the kind of board that makes my eyes start zigzagging! And you can watch the World Cup there too?
Hop BroThe headline pour is 13 Red Ale, a collab between Aruka and One's Brewery. It's a Session Red IPA, so you get reddish malt character plus hop aroma in a lighter, easier-drinking frame.
MugiHold on, Session Red IPA? What does that even mean? Is the beer attending a meeting or something?
Hop BroThink of it as built for easy drinking. It keeps the aroma and IPA character, but without making the alcohol feel too heavy, so it stays approachable.
MugiOhhh! Then Lavender & Chamomile from CRAFT BEER BASE and the yuzu Hazy IPA from MARCA Brewing sound super tempting too. Those names are doing a lot of work!
Hop BroA Hazy IPA is basically a cloudy, juicy IPA with a softer mouthfeel. Add yuzu and you're probably getting a bright citrus lift on top of that plush texture.
MugiWhat about that mysterious IPL from Derailleur Brew Works? Also, HiDE-Y$i Trigger the cuckoo protocol sounds less like a beer and more like a cyber spell.
Hop BroIPL is basically a lager-style IPA. You still get hop aroma, but the finish is cleaner and crisper. Then you've also got a sour from Kamigata, a stout from Minoh, a West Coast IPA, Punk IPA, and Heartland, so the range is wide.
MugiAnd the food lineup matters too, right? Fried bamboo shoot spring rolls, ajillo, pescatore... my stomach is already buying a ticket.
Hop BroThe whole setup really covers light to dark styles, just like the pub's open, welcoming vibe suggests. In this early rainy-season weather, a game on screen and a good pint sounds exactly right.
MugiI'm sold. That first pint is going to be a real dilemma between 13 Red Ale and the yuzu Hazy IPA, and now I seriously want to head to Namba.
