Eni-Bru marks its 19th anniversary with NAMACHA Brewing's Rauch
The Osaka beer pub Eni-Bru marked July 7 as its 19th anniversary day. During the anniversary month, the lineup includes NAMACHA Brewing's Rauch, bottles from HINO BREWING, and four beers from Burduck Brewery.
Hop BroToday’s topic is Anybrew in Nakamozu, Osaka and its 19th anniversary month. July 7 marked year nineteen, which also means the start of year twenty, and they’re tapping special beers one after another.
MugiWhat! A basement beer pub hitting a 20th year kickoff sounds like the memories there have been aging in barrels too!
Hop BroThe headliner is NAMACHA’n Brewing from Tokyo with 'Namachan no Rauch,' and the style is smoked beer territory. It’s the kind of pour that comes at you with aroma first.
MugiWhat even is that! And when I hear smoked malt aroma, it sounds like the snack plate started talking before the beer did!
Hop BroThat’s not far off. They use malt smoked in-house over beech chips, so you get a clear smoky lift right away. But it’s not just smoke, it also has real depth and richness.
MugiOh wow, so it hits with aroma and then settles in on the palate! And IBC gold winner in 2020 and 2022? That beer has receipts.
Hop BroExactly. And the bottle side is stacked too, with HINO BREWING bringing three bottle releases: Chardonnay Boy, Baltic Porter, and Premium Ale. That lineup has range.
MugiWait, that jumps from wine-ish vibes to dark heavy beer? That’s basically a tasting paradise. My mouth would be busy before my notes could keep up!
Hop BroThen Burdock Brewery from Ontario adds four more bottles: Bears, Disco Ducks, Double Duck, and Kini Mango Guava. You can compare everything from WC Pale Ale to Hazy IPA, Hazy D IPA, and Fruited Sour Ale.
MugiHazy D IPA sounds like a spell. So it’s basically extra hazy and punchy, with a big aromatic cloud? I’m already into it just from the name.
Hop BroThat’s the idea. And Anybrew is just two minutes from Nakamozu Station, so being able to compare drafts and bottles in one place is the dangerous part. One drink in-house can turn into a full takeout plan.
MugiAnd with 19-spice fried chicken on the menu, it’s over for me. I want a glass right now, and I’d absolutely leave with bottles under both arms.
July 7 lineup
Eni-Bru, a beer pub in Nakamozu-cho, Sakai City, Osaka, marked its 19th anniversary on July 7. In the post, the shop notes that this day also begins its 20th year, and that limited beers chosen by the owner are being tapped throughout the anniversary month.
The featured beer for the day is "NAMA-CHAN no Rauch" from Tokyo-based NAMACHAんBrewing. As a Rauch-style beer, it leans on the aroma of smoked malt, and the brewery uses malt smoked in-house with beech chips. The beer has also won gold at the IBC in both 2020 and 2022, making it a solid pick for drinkers who want to focus on smoke character and malt depth.
The bottle shop side is busy as well. From Shiga's HINO BREWING, Eni-Bru received three bottles: Chardonnay Boy, Baltic Porter, and Premium Ale. From Ontario's Burduck Brewery, four beers arrived: Bears, Disco Ducks, Double Duck, and Kini Mango Guava. That gives drinkers a broad lineup spanning WC Pale Ale, Hazy IPA, Hazy D IPA, and Fruited Sour Ale.
Located about two minutes on foot from Nakamozu Station, Eni-Bru is set up as a craft beer dining and bottle shop, so it is easy to enjoy both draft pours and takeaway bottles. The food menu also leans well toward beer pairing, with items such as 19-spice bone-in fried chicken and mackerel with eggplant and crispy chili oil, giving the anniversary month a clear drinking-and-dining focus.
