Beer&Cafe Hafen Opens HOPDOG BREWING's 'FARM to YOU DDH Hazy IPA' and More on Tap
Beer&Cafe Hafen in Esaka, Osaka, has posted today's tap list on Instagram. The lineup includes HOPDOG BREWING's 'FARM to YOU DDH Hazy IPA', along with beers from Minoh Beer, Baeren, and Daisen G Beer, while the regular staples include Sapporo Black Label and Draft Guinness.
Hop BroAt Beer&Cafe Hafen in Esaka, the today's tap list is seriously hot. The new pour is HOPDOG BREWING's 'FARM to YOU DDH Hazy IPA', a series made with Akita ingredients.
MugiWhat! Using Akita ingredients already makes it sound delicious! And DDH Hazy IPA sounds kind of mysterious just from the name!
Hop BroThat's the thing, DDH stands for double dry hop. It's a method that pushes the aroma forward and boosts the juicy character that hazy IPAs are known for.
MugiWhat?! Just by adding hops later, does it really change that much? In my head, hops were like tiny accessories sitting on top of beer!
Hop BroIn reality, they're more like the main attraction. Hafen also has Minoh Beer's 'Nice Bitter' and Baeren's 'Onmenbroi' on tap, so the lineup is packed with distinctive beers.
MugiWhoa! Bitter and Menbroi side by side somehow sound super insider-ish! But I feel like I'd decide what to drink just from the sound of the names!
Hop BroThat works too. The regular lineup also includes Black Label and Guinness, so today's selection covers both people who want to go bold and people who want something reassuring.
MugiWait, Guinness too? Having a strong core lineup like that is incredibly dependable. And they're even previewing the next replacement candidates, that's almost too thoughtful!
Hop BroExactly. Next up are Daisen G Beer's 'Yuzu Weiss' and 'American Amber Lager'. A keg with a preview of what's next is pretty stylish for a beer bar, isn't it?
MugiAnd they're even going to tasting sessions on their Tuesday input day, which really feels like preparing for the anniversary celebration. It's a small shop, but the drive is big!
Hop BroAnd since reservations are recommended for groups of three or more, last orders are at 10 p.m., and they may close early if there are no guests, going early is the safest bet. Let's go drink a pint that's connected right now tonight.
MugiLet's go! I'll start with the 'FARM to YOU DDH Hazy IPA', and you take the bitter one, hop bro, right? I'm getting the urge to toast right now!
The beer pub Beer&Cafe Hafen in Esaka-cho, Suita City, Osaka, announced today's tap list on Instagram. Newly opened on tap is HOPDOG BREWING's 'FARM to YOU DDH Hazy IPA'. Part of the 'FARM TO YOU' series made with ingredients from Akita, it is a hazy IPA that makes lavish use of hops from Yokote.
The taps also include Minoh Beer's 'Nice Bitter' and Baeren's 'Onmenbroi'. Regular beers on the core lineup include 'Sapporo Beer Black Label' and 'Draft Guinness'. In addition, the next replacement candidates have been announced as Daisen G Beer's 'Yuzu Weiss' and 'American Amber Lager'.
The post also says they joined a tasting session on their Tuesday input day off, and have been continuing tastings in preparation for the anniversary festival. The shop is described as a 'small shop', and reservations are recommended for parties of three or more. With last orders at 10 p.m. and the possibility of an early close if there are no guests, checking before visiting is the safest bet.
Beer&Cafe Hafen, as one of Esaka's craft-beer-focused spots, builds its daily lineup by moving back and forth between staples and new arrivals. Rather than flashy event announcements, its stance of clearly telling people which kegs are currently connected captures the shop's character well.
