Hop BroBeer&Cafe Hafen in Osaka's Esaka has updated its spring taps. With cherry blossoms in season at the Esaka Park right in front of the shop, it’s a lineup that makes you want to stop by on a walk.
MugiWhoa, already spring-like!? Beer you drink in cherry blossom season somehow sounds better just because of the season!
Hop BroThe new taps this time are Iwate Kura Beer’s Tohoku Soul IPL, Ise Kadoya Beer’s "Spring Whisper," and Minoh Beer’s "MUGICHA BITTER." It really feels like they picked a lineup with a spring vibe.
MugiWhat is that! What’s an IPL? I’ve heard of IPA, but once the letters keep multiplying it suddenly feels like a test!
Hop BroIPL stands for India Pale Lager, and it’s a style that can balance crisp bitterness with the drinkability of a lager. The name Tohoku Soul makes it even more tempting to drink.
MugiOhh! So is "Spring Whisper" kind of like drinking a spring scene itself? That’s almost too romantic!
Hop BroExactly. It’s described as a beer designed with lightness and brightness in mind, a beer that fits the season. It sounds like the kind you’d want on a spring table, with aromas that call flowers to mind.
MugiAnd they even have Minoh Beer’s MUGICHA BITTER!? Barley tea but bitter? That feels like summer vacation and beer holding a meeting!
Hop BroThey’ve got the classics too, and being able to drink Black Label and Guinness is part of what makes Hafen feel like Hafen. I like that they lean into craft while still keeping a reliable option on hand.
MugiNext they’re previewing Sakura Storm IPA and "Ncha!" too? The spring tap info is packed! This is definitely a full loop around Esaka Park, then one more beer on the way back!
Hop BroIt’s a small shop, so checking in advance is important, but that’s part of the fun of going with intent. See the cherry blossoms, have a beer at Beer&Cafe Hafen, and that’s basically spring done right.
MugiYeah, I’m completely in the mood to go out for drinks today! Take in the spring air and finish it off with beer, what could be better!?
The beer pub Beer&Cafe Hafen in Esaka, Suita City, Osaka Prefecture, updated its tap information for the latter half of March. In the post, it says that warm days have continued and that the cherry blossom season has arrived at Esaka Park in front of the shop, suggesting a beer that feels like spring.
The highlight this time is the following three labels introduced as new taps.
- Iwate Kura Beer: "Tohoku Soul IPL"
- Ise Kadoya Beer: "Spring Whisper"
- Minoh Beer: "MUGICHA BITTER"
"Spring Whisper," in particular, was mentioned in detail in the post as a beer evoking a spring scene. It is presented as a drink designed with lightness and brightness in mind, and as a beer that accompanies the changing of the seasons. "Tohoku Soul IPL" was also put on tap, and the post also touched on the context of the Tohoku Soul Beer Project.
The regular lineup also includes "Sapporo Draft Beer Black Label" and "Draft Guinness." In addition to a craft-focused tap list, the shop balances it with classic staples, making it easy to choose according to your taste, which is very much a Hafen point.
Looking ahead, the next planned taps include Iwate Kura Beer's "Sakura Storm IPA ~PinkTyhon~" and Y.MARKET BREWING's "Ncha!" It’s a lineup that lets you enjoy everything from a casual beer after a walk to a more leisurely drinking session in the Esaka area this spring. Because it is a small shop, checking ahead before visiting with multiple people is recommended.
