Hop BroThe April 11 tap list has been released at "café&beer Aruka→Aruka" in Sennichimae, Namba, Osaka. The star is Lavender&chamomile, and it feels completely spring-like, so it’s definitely interesting.
MugiWait, a beer with lavender and chamomile?! That already sounds like it smells amazing before you even drink it!
Hop BroExactly. It’s from CRAFT BEER BASE, and it’s a lightly bitter beer built on a golden-ale-like base with herbal character layered on top. It’s the kind of beer you enjoy for its aroma, so the right move is to take your time and taste it through your nose.
MugiTaste it through your nose? What does that even mean! I might have been chugging too fast all this time... Does a herbal aroma really make that much of a difference?
Hop BroIt really does. Lavender is airy and floral, chamomile is gentle, and when you drink it, the lingering notes of flowers and herbs stretch out. Even though it’s beer, it has a bit of the presence of herbal tea too.
MugiWow! And the lineup is 9 taps centered on Osaka local breweries? That makes me want to compare everything!
Hop BroAnd the range is broad too. `13 Red Ale`, `Chiran Aracha Golden Ale`, `Black IPA`, and `STOUT` are all there, making it feel like a showcase of styles.
MugiCalling it a showcase suddenly makes the place feel like an event! And having `PUNK IPA` and `Heartland` too makes it so easy to compare beers — that’s seriously appreciated!
Hop BroThe food is strong too. From smoked edamame and fried cartilage chicken to mapo potatoes, the range of snacks is huge. It’s a place where you can play around and match the beer’s personality.
MugiI want to go already! I can see why the terrace seats filled up, and drinking there in the Ura-Namba energy would definitely taste amazing. I’d want to start with the aromatic one today!
