Beer&Cafe Hafen taps Iwate Kura Beer Passion Wheat Ale
In a June 15 Instagram post, Beer&Cafe Hafen in Esaka, Osaka announced a new guest tap: Iwate Kura Beer’s Passion Wheat Ale, alongside the current tap list and the next beers lined up.
Hop BroBeer&Cafe Hafen in Esaka just tapped a new guest beer. The headline pour is Iwate Kura Beer’s Passion Wheat Ale, and it feels perfectly timed for the warmer season.
MugiWhat! A passion fruit beer? The name alone sounds like summer kicked the door open.
Hop BroExactly. It’s a wheat ale style, with tropical passion fruit aroma and a bright, refreshing tartness that works really well in humid weather.
MugiWait, what even is a wheat ale? That suddenly sounds like a chemistry class. Are they throwing flour in there?
Hop BroNot flour, more like the softness from wheat malt. It gives the beer a smoother texture, so the fruit and acidity come across rounder and easier to drink.
MugiNo way, so it’s tropical but gentle? That’s amazing. A beer with big energy and good manners.
Hop BroAnd the current lineup is a three-way flavor spread. Alongside Passion Wheat Ale, they’ve got FLORA FERMENTATION’s FLORA LAGER and Yellow Monkey Brewing’s GOHOBI IPA.
MugiThat is a perfect tasting flight waiting to happen. Crisp, hoppy, fruity, done. My decision-making skills are in danger.
Hop BroIt gets better. The next arrivals include KUSANAGI and a sansho ale. With lager, IPA, and herbal beers rotating through, the tap changes are part of the fun.
MugiSansho too? This is totally a watch-the-next-keg place. I’d walk in asking, ‘Who’s on tap today?’ like it’s a cast reveal.
Hop BroHafen also sounds easy to use because it’s a great spot for small groups. Parties of three or more should reserve, last order is 10:00 p.m., and they may close early if there are no guests.
MugiThen I’m checking before I go, because that sounds like the pour for a muggy day. If I’m in Esaka, I’m starting with the Passion Wheat Ale for sure.
