Beer&Cafe Hafen taps Baeren's keg-exclusive 'Onmenbroy,' updates spring tap lineup
Beer&Cafe Hafen in Esaka, Osaka, updated its tap list in a March 30 post and newly tapped Baeren Brewery's keg-exclusive beer 'Onmenbroy.' The lineup also includes Y.MARKET BREWING, Iwate Kura Beer, and Daisen G Beer, making it an appealing selection for a spring stroll stop.
Hop BroHere comes the spring tap update in Esaka. At Beer&Cafe Hafen, Baeren Brewery's keg-exclusive "Onmenbroy" has been newly tapped, making it just the right stop for a stroll.
MugiWhoa! Onmenbroy sounds strong just from the name! It kind of sounds like ramen with that "oh, men..." thing, but it's beer!?
Hop BroThat's the fun part. It's Baeren's keg-exclusive beer, and the style is Rauchbock. It has the roasted aroma of smoked malt, a solid 7.5% body, and a gentle aroma from 100% German hops.
MugiRauchbock is basically a spell, right? Where does a name like that even come from - is the beer world taking kanji quizzes?
Hop BroSimply put, rauch means smoked malt, and bock is the lager family with a fuller, more satisfying body. It's a beer rooted in food culture shaped by cold and fire, and the kind you enjoy for its layered aroma.
MugiWow! And now the current taps even include Black Label and Guinness, which suddenly makes it feel so reassuring. It's fun, like familiar faces and new faces sitting on the same shelf.
Hop BroExactly. On top of that, Y.MARKET BREWING's "Nncha!" and Iwate Kura Beer's "Tohoku-damashii IPL" are on tap too, so it's a really wide selection. From lager to stout, you can choose based on your mood.
MugiI'm curious about the next rotation too! A spring-themed lineup change like this - hazy IPA, yuzu weiss, and more - sounds like the kind of thing that would make you stop in your tracks on a walk.
Hop BroActually, they’ve got OTAMA BREWING's HARUMACHI Hazy IPA, Daisen G Beer's Yuzu Weiss and American Amber Lager, and even Iwate Kura Beer's Sakura Arashi IPA waiting in the wings, so the next candidates are solid too. It's well suited to enjoying a drink on the terrace while feeling the season.
MugiWhoa, having terrace seating is the best! But parties of three or more need a reservation, right? That feels very much like a small shop done properly. If you're stopping by after cherry-blossom viewing, it's safer to call ahead.
Hop BroExactly. And since last orders are at 10 p.m., and they may close if there are no guests, checking before you go matters. If you're looking for a drink in Esaka, this is a place worth remembering as a spring detour.
MugiAlright, now I really want to go! If they've got a smoky pour alongside Black Label, then today really is a day to drink!
Osaka's Esaka-area beer pub "Beer&Cafe Hafen" has released its spring tap information. In the post, while expressing thanks for use of the terrace seats and for guests stopping in after cherry-blossom viewing, it introduces a lineup suited to the changing season.
Newly Tapped
The highlight this time is Baeren Brewery's keg-exclusive beer "Onmenbroy." It is a Rauchbock-style beer, characterized by the roasted aroma of smoked malt, a substantial 7.5% body, and a gentle aroma from 100% German hops. With a theme centered on the food culture shaped by cold and fire, this beer is for people seeking rich aroma and satisfying drinkability.
Current Taps
The current Today Taps beer lineup includes Baeren's "Onmenbroy," Y.MARKET BREWING's "Nncha!," and Iwate Kura Beer's "Tohoku-damashii IPL." The staples also include "Sapporo Beer Black Label" and "Draft Guinness," offering a broad range from classic lager to stout.
Next Candidates
Announced as upcoming rotations are OTAMA BREWING's "HARUMACHI Hazy IPA," Daisen G Beer's "Yuzu Weiss" and "American Amber Lager," and Iwate Kura Beer's "Sakura Arashi IPA ~PinkTyhon~." The range runs from fruity hazies and yuzu-infused weiss to amber lager and spring-like IPA, making the next visit just as tempting.
Because the shop is small, parties of three or more require a reservation (drinks only excluded). Also, if there are no guests at last order at 10 p.m., the shop may close at that point, so checking ahead before visiting is reassuring. If you're looking for a drink in Esaka, this place, which balances seasonal draft beer with a calm atmosphere, is worth remembering as a stop on a walk.
