The beer pub café&beer あるか→アるか in Osaka's Namba Sennichimae opened at 1:00 p.m. on May 24 and announced a tap list timed to the final day of CRAFT BEER LIVE. Centered on Osaka breweries, the lineup features nine craft beers.
Hop BroToday we're talking about the tap list that Osaka's Namba Sennichimae beer pub café&beer あるか→アるか is serving at 1:00 p.m. on May 24. Timed to the final day of CRAFT BEER LIVE, they're lining up nine taps with a strong local vibe.
MugiWhat, nine taps and mostly local Osaka beer? And they're timing it to the final day of the event too? That's basically a beer lover's field trip!
Hop BroExactly. The first thing that catches my eye is the venue-named 13 Red Ale. It's a collaboration between あるか→アるか and One's Brewery, with the easy-drinking feel of a Session Red IPA, so it's a strong opening pour.
MugiSession Red IPA means it's light but still an IPA? That sentence already makes me feel tipsy!
Hop BroSimply put, it's an IPA focused on drinkability. It has hop aroma, but the alcohol presence is kept moderate, so it's designed for lingering and having a few.
MugiI see, then the herb-based Golden Ale sounds interesting too! Lavender&Chamomile sounds adorable, like a flower shop!
Hop BroOn top of that, Derailleur Brew Works' IPL is interesting too. It's crisp thanks to lager yeast, but the hops still make themselves known, so even though it looks clean, there's quite a bit going on inside.
MugiWhat do you mean, a chatty beer? But if there's CoffeeAmber and Black Lager too, does that mean they've got everything from sweet styles to dark ones covered?
Hop BroExactly. And BAK Brewing's DonkeyMagic is a Banana Milk Weizen, plus Minoh Beer brings Papa Zaru Lager and STOUT, and then PUNK IPA and Heartland are on the list too, so the balance between adventurous choices and reassuring staples is really good.
MugiWow! And the food, with things like fried tofu wrapped in meat and plate wontons, is basically trying its hardest to make you keep drinking!
Hop BroBeing open from noon at 4-37 Namba Sennichimae and easy to stop by after an event is another big plus. Today is basically a day to chase Osaka taps, so the only thing left is to head to the shop.
MugiYeah, this makes me want to have a drink from noon! I want to start a beer journey through Osaka at あるか→アるか!
Nine taps centered on local Osaka brews on May 24
The beer pub café&beer あるか→アるか in Osaka's Namba Sennichimae opened at 1:00 p.m. on May 24 and announced a tap list timed to CRAFT BEER LIVE, whose final day is the same day. This lineup features nine taps, centered on local Osaka breweries and including classic beers from the UK.
Today's lineup
- 13 Red Ale / Session Red IPA / あるか→アるか × One's Brewery
- Lavender&Chamomile / Golden Ale with herbs / CRAFT BEER BASE
- HiDE-Y$i Trigger the cuckoo protocol / IPL / Derailleur Brew Works

- DonkeyMagic / Banana Milk Weizen / BAK Brewing
- Papa Zaru Lager / Black Lager / Minoh Beer
- STOUT / Minoh Beer
- PUNK IPA / IPA / BrewDog Brewing

Looking at the styles, the selection ranges widely from something light and easy-drinking to beers with more body, including Session Red IPA, a herb-infused Golden Ale, IPL, a coffee-based Amber, a banana milk-style Weizen, Black Lager, and STOUT. The venue's own-named "13 Red Ale" stands out as a collaborative beer. Add PUNK IPA and Heartland to the mix, and the lineup becomes well balanced, making it easy even for regular beer drinkers to choose.
The food menu includes fried tofu wrapped in meat, ajillo with leeks and chicken thighs, eggplant kimchi, new potato gratin, savory pie with bacon and garland chrysanthemum, edamame rillettes, chicken and leek tsukune, plate wontons, and pescatore. It should work well both for light snacks paired with beer and for a more substantial meal.
The location at 4-37 Namba Sennichimae is also convenient, making it work both as a stop after an event and as a destination for enjoying craft beer from noon onward. For people following Osaka taps, it became a day where the venue's character and the breadth of its beers could be seen at the same time.
