Hop BroToday we're talking about café&beer Aruka→Aruka's 9-tap opening in Osaka's Namba Sennichimae. It opens at 1:00 p.m. on April 4, and the local-heavy lineup is especially fun.
MugiWhoa! Just hearing that makes me hungry! A local Osaka-heavy lineup sounds packed with hometown love.
Hop BroThe star here is CIVIC BREWERS' KATANO SAKURA ALE. It's described as having a fragrance reminiscent of sakura mochi, so it feels like spring air is sealed right into the glass.
MugiA scent like sakura mochi? What is that! Does that mean you're drinking spring? Or is it the kind that rescues my mood after a failed hanami?
Hop BroExactly. It's the kind you enjoy for the seasonal aroma. For example, styles like Ikeda Mikan Wit, a Witbier, change their impression through aroma and mouthfeel, so today's fun is all about choosing.
MugiOhh! But what is Witbier? It sounds strong from the name, but is it actually a gentle one?
Hop BroWitbier is a wheat-based white-beer style that's soft and easy to drink. Here they've got everything from Carotene Shower to Mugicha Bitter, from brisk styles to pleasantly bitter ones, which makes choosing by mood the best part.
MugiThat's awesome! If there's everything from light to stout, you can start easy and finish heavy, right?
Hop BroExactly. With STOUT and PUNK IPA on the board too, it's a lineup where you can choose 'what number drinker am I today?' And they even have Heartland, so there's reassurance at the finish too.
MugiAnd the food feels like it's tailored to beer, with strawberry shiraae and mentaiko pasta with baby scallops, just imagining it is powerful!
Hop BroExactly. If you're choosing based on your mood that day in Namba, this is a really dependable spot. With nine local taps in front of us, looks like both I and Mugi-chan have no choice but to drink today.
