Eni-Bru taps Minoh Beer Summer Lager and announces Sept. 6 tap jack
Osaka beer pub Eni-Bru posted four new draft beers, led by Minoh Beer’s Summer Lager, and announced a Sept. 6 Double Tap Jack with SHIMANAMI Brewery and Kankiku Brewery.
Hop BroI’ve got my eye on eni-bru’s fresh tappings today. It was such a hot night in Osaka that four kegs flipped in one go.
MugiWhat! Four new kegs in one day? Everybody’s thirst level is doing cardio. Which one’s the star?
Hop BroThe headliner is Minoh Beer’s Summer Lager. It’s a hoppy lager with citrus from Citra and Cascade, plus rice for a crisp finish.
MugiHold on, hoppy lager? What does that even mean? A lager that suddenly starts showing off?
Hop BroThat’s actually pretty close. Think of a lager with a light rice-driven snap, then add American hop aroma so it drinks extra bright.
MugiOhhh! A citrusy lager sounds like summer vacation in a glass. That has to be great with fried food.
Hop BroAnd they didn’t stop there. Hansharo Beer, Open Air, and HINO BREWING round it out with a four-beer spread across real ale, IPA, and more.
MugiThat escalated fast! Real ale sounds like beer got a live-action reboot and now I’m nervous.
Hop BroNot a reboot, just a softer pour. Gentle natural carbonation gives it a rounder feel, and it’d pair really well with that sausage-stuffed sweet pepper fritto.
MugiThat already sounds dangerous in the best way. On September 6 there’s a Double Tap Jack with SHIMANAMI BREWERY and Kankiku BREWERY, right?
Hop BroExactly. It runs from 3:00 to 9:00 p.m., it’s a two-minute walk from Nakamozu Station, and the Sibling Showdown event has 21 beers plus a talk live and raffle.
MugiThen it’s settled. We start with a Summer Lager toast, and after that I’m seriously debating IPA versus real ale.
In its August 22 Instagram post, Eni-Bru said the summer heat kept the beer moving fast and that four fresh kegs had gone on tap. The headline beer is Minoh Beer’s Summer Lager, described as a hoppy lager with bright citrus aroma from American hops such as Citra and Cascade, plus a crisp finish from rice.
The new draft lineup also includes English Gold Summer Real Ale ver. from Hansharo Beer, open air ipa from Open Air, and CHAIN SMOKER from HINO BREWING. The selection ranges from lager to real ale and IPA, giving drinkers several styles to choose from.
On the food side, the pub recommends a fritter filled with homemade salsiccia and sweet peppers. The herb aroma, rich meat juices, and tomato sauce make it a natural match for hop-forward beers and dry lagers alike. Eni-Bru also announced a special event for September 6: "Double Tap Jack at eni-bru SiblingShowdown!" featuring SHIMANAMI Brewery and Kankiku Brewery. The event runs from 3:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., with open entry, free movement in and out, 21 beers in total across draft and cans, a talk live session, and a raffle.
