Hop BroBeer&Cafe Hafen in Esaka posted a Today Taps update on March 16, and that is not something to miss!
MugiWhoa! Things are moving that much in Esaka? So there are three new taps!?
Hop BroRight, it’s three domestic labels on tap: Mugi Zakkoku Kobo Microbrewery’s Mellow Times Lager, Yokohama Bay Brewing’s Pedaling Four IPA, and Y.MARKET BREWING’s Decorian.
MugiI get the lager and the IPA, but what even is Decorian!? If you call it a distinctive lineup, now I’m curious!
Hop BroIt’s a lineup where you can compare the aroma layers of a crisp lager, a hop-forward IPA, and a beer with a bit of a twist like Decorian.
MugiWhat is that! Are layers like a beer mille-feuille!? You mean differences in flavor levels?
Hop BroExactly. It feels like the impression builds from the first aroma to the body in the mouth and then the aftertaste. And on top of that, they also have the strong point of serving two regular drafts: Black Label and draft Guinness.
MugiGoing on an adventure with craft beer, then settling down with the classics at the end is the best! So this is what easy to use for everyday visits means!
Hop BroAnd they also have Minoh Beer’s MUGICHA BITTER and Y.MARKET BREWING’s Nncha! lined up for the next round, so there’s something to look forward to at the next cask change too.
MugiWait, that’s the kind of place that makes you want to keep coming back every time the keg changes... If they have a reservation notice for parties of three or more, that makes planning easier!
Hop BroYeah, the official Instagram is the surest place to check the latest status, but I’m already in full tasting mode and want to head there now.
MugiDeal! I’m going for a drink in Esaka today too, and I want to go all in from lager to IPA!
