Beer&Cafe Hafen updates taps with Minoh Tea Bitter and more
Beer&Cafe Hafen in Esaka, Osaka has refreshed its tap list. The current lineup includes three beers, including Minoh Beer’s Tea Bitter, and the next rotation will bring in REPUBER’s 69IPA and Daisen G Beer’s India Pale Saison.
Hop BroToday’s topic is Beer&Cafe Hafen in Esaka, Osaka. Their updated tap list has a really fun three-beer lineup.
MugiWait, three beers on tap and it’s already sounding this good? What are they pouring?
Hop BroFirst up is Minoh Beer’s Black Tea Bitter. It’s a bitter ale with a soft aroma inspired by black tea, which makes it really approachable.
MugiWhoa, I thought bitter means super bitter and that’s it. Now black tea is joining the party too?
Hop BroThat’s the common trap. An English-style bitter is usually more about balance and easy drinking than just aggressive bitterness.
Hop BroThen they’ve got Iwate Kura Beer’s Sansho herb ale and Daisen G Beer’s Grande Saison. One leans spicy and Japanese, the other is bright and lively.
MugiWhat even is sansho in beer? That sounds like a fancy dinner exploded into a pint glass!
Hop BroAnd saison is all about a crisp, lively finish. So this lineup gives you tea-like aroma, herbal spice, or something clean and refreshing.
MugiThat’s already hard to choose from, and next they’re bringing in 69IPA and Hansharo too? Esaka just became a dangerous detour.
Hop BroIt’s the kind of small pub where you settle in and drink properly, so this next pint plan is writing itself. I want the Black Tea Bitter first.
