Arca-Archa, a beer pub in Namba, Osaka, will hold its 15th anniversary service from July 2 to 5. The lineup centers on Osaka craft beer and features nine taps, ranging from local collaborations to familiar standards.
Hop BroBig news out of Namba. café&beer あるか➝アるか is running a 15th anniversary pour from July 2 to July 5, with nine taps centered on Osaka locals and a nice spread from classics to wild cards.
MugiWait, nine taps lined up? That is basically a mini festival! If the focus is Osaka-local, I already want to roam the neighborhood with a glass.
Hop BroAnd the place is a backstreet Namba beer pub with a bright glass-front first floor. It works for a solo pint, a meal, or the kind of stop that accidentally turns into a long night.
MugiOkay, but I need answers. 13 Red Ale sounds like a secret code. What kind of beer is that supposed to be?
Hop BroThat one is a collab between あるか➝アるか and One's Brewery, and the style is Session Red IPA. You get red malt depth, but it stays light and easy with lively hop aroma.
MugiHold on, what does session mean? Is this beer booking rehearsal time with a band?
Hop BroClose, but not quite. It means a lower ABV design so you can enjoy more than one without getting wrecked. Very thoughtful engineering for people who get carried away.
MugiThat is dangerously considerate. Then CRAFT BEER BASE's Lavender&Chamomile as a herbal golden ale is calling my name. Beer just turned into aromatherapy?
Hop BroExactly, and the lineup keeps swerving in fun directions. Kamigata's Lycopene Bus is a Hazy IPA, MARCA brings Mango Shake IPA, Minoh has stout, BrewDog pours PUNK IPA, and Kirin anchors it with a Heartland pilsner.
MugiAnd with Sake Ale from Banrishun plus Beppin Sake Kasu Ale from CIVIC BREWERS, this is a flight-worthy lineup for sure. I want to toast that 15th anniversary in Namba immediately!
