Maruho Liquor Store Minami Branch Adds East Coast Drafts After Little House Delay
The beer pub Maruho Liquor Store Minami Branch in Namba, Osaka announced a change to its planned Little House offering. With transport delays making same-day service difficult, it will strengthen its East Coast lineup centered on two draft kegs from Other Half, and operate with a dense selection that also includes canned items.
Hop BroIt sounds like tomorrow's lineup at Maruho Liquor Store Minami Branch in Namba is changing a lot, and it's turning into an East Coast festival night.
MugiWait, so the plan changed? What happened!?
Hop BroThe originally planned Little House beers are unlikely to arrive in time because of a flight delay, so even though Sam is still scheduled to come by, the beer probably won't make it.
MugiWow, that's rough... but if they said East Coast, maybe the replacement is pretty luxurious?
Hop BroThat's the exciting part. The stars are two draft kegs from Other Half, Double Riwaka Day Dream Oat cream DIPA and Ideal Wave Hazy IPA, so the hazy lineup is the main event.
MugiOhhh! But just hearing "oat cream DIPA" sounds complicated... what does that taste like?
Hop BroBasically, it has the smoothness from oats and a rich hop character, so it's juicy without being too bitter. And they also have KCBC's Helles, so there's a palate-cleansing lager too.
MugiPerfect balance! And on cans they've got Root + Branch, By The Glass, Grimm's imperial stout, Oud Bruin, and The Veil's barrel-aged stuff too, so the range is insane!
Hop BroExactly. Maruho's motto is come DRINK ART., and since you can drink alongside pop-up art, it becomes an art experience you taste through your throat.
MugiIt's decided! I want to work my way through hazies to aged beers all in one go, and finish with a stout. I want to drink tonight already!
Hop BroCould not agree more, that's the best flow. Let's hit everything in one night in Namba, toast at the tap is guaranteed!
In the latest post from Maruho Liquor Store Minami Branch, the beer pub in Motomachi, Naniwa Ward, Osaka City, there was an update on the offerings planned for the following day’s event.
The Little House beer originally scheduled is now unlikely to arrive in time because of a flight delay. Owner-brewer Sam is still expected to visit, but serving the beer itself will be difficult.
As a substitute, the shop is expanding its East Coast-focused selection. The main highlight is two draft kegs from Other Half, with the post specifically naming:
- Double Riwaka Day Dream Oat cream DIPA
- Ideal Wave Hazy IPA
In addition, KCBC Helles lager is also planned. The canned lineup will include a wide range of styles such as Root + Branch, By The Glass, Grimm (imperial stout), Oud Bruin, and The Veil (barrel-aged beers).
The shop promotes itself with the line “come DRINK ART. Art goes down your throat.”, pairing beer with pop-up art. In the Namba area, it looks set to be a night where you can work your way through trendy hazies, rich stouts, and aged beers all at once.
