Hop BroToday’s topic is the Osaka beer pub in Namba Sennichimae, nine local-first taps. café&beer Aruka→Aru ka has released its May 28 lineup, and it’s the kind of selection that really lands with local brewery fans.
MugiWait, nine draft beers from Osaka!? If that many are lined up, I’d be so torn I might collapse trying to decide what to drink first!
Hop BroThe main draw is the first beer with the shop’s name on it. It’s 13 Red Ale / Session Red IPA / Aruka→Aru ka × One's Brewery, which gives you a mellow malt character with a lighter IPA-style hop aroma on top.
MugiSession what now! Does that mean it’s an easy-drinking IPA? It sounds strong just from the name, but it’s actually gentle? That’s unfair!
Hop BroExactly. It’s designed with lower alcohol in mind. It’s the kind of beer that helps when you want to compare a lot of pours, because it keeps the core flavor while making it easy to keep going glass after glass.
MugiI get it now! And they’ve even brought in herb-forward beers. Lavender&Chamomile / Golden Ale with herbs sounds like a beer straight out of a flower garden!
Hop BroThat’s what makes it interesting. It’s a lineup with a wide range of aromas, from CRAFT BEER BASE’s herb golden ale, to Derailleur Brew Works’ IPL, to MARCA BREWING’s CoffeeAmber, and BAK Brewing’s banana milk-style weizen, so you can really compare personalities.
MugiWhat, a coffee-scented amber and a banana milk weizen!? This isn’t a drinks lineup, it’s a laboratory!
Hop BroAnd Osaka’s breweries are strong here too. With two Minoh Beers on tap, Papa Zaru Lager and STOUT, they’ve got the comfort of both dark styles and lagers covered.
MugiAnd then they throw in PUNK IPA and Heartland too. Going local and bold, but still landing on easy-drinking classics at the end, that’s seriously well put together!
Hop BroThe food isn’t to be underestimated either. There’s fried tofu wrapped in meat, ajillo with scallions and chicken thighs, eggplant kimchi, and even new potato gratin, so you can play around and match each beer’s personality.
MugiAlright, I want to do a tasting round in Ura-Namba today! Start with 13 Red Ale, finish with Heartland, and that sounds like the perfect night!
