Hop BroOsaka's Namba Sennichimae has a pretty interesting 9-tap lineup today at café&beer Aruka➝Aruka.
MugiWait, nine taps? What does local-focused look like?
Hop BroThere's 13 Red Ale / Session Red IPA, Lavender&Chamomile / Golden Ale with herbs, NIGHT RIDER ROUTE 26 / Session IPA, and NEWBIE / Sour IPA, so it's packed with light, lively styles with character.
MugiSession IPA and Sour IPA already sound like a lot of information! Does that mean they're easy to drink but sour?
Hop BroPretty much. Session styles keep the alcohol in check, and Sour IPA is a style where acidity rides on top of the hop aroma, so it has a light mouthfeel but still plenty of flavor.
MugiWow, and Barley Tea Bitter? That's some powerful wording!
Hop BroWith Minoh Beer's Barley Tea Bitter and STOUT, plus MARCA BREWING's CoffeeAmber, they still cover roastiness and depth. That's the kind of thing that really lands if you like bitterness and roasted character.
MugiAnd then they even have PUNK IPA and Heartland, which is sneaky! Having the classic staples makes it easy for anyone to walk in.
Hop BroOn top of that, the terrace should feel nice and mellow at night, and they're also promoting advance tickets for Craft Beer Live. It's the perfect place for a relaxed night out in nighttime Namba.
MugiNow I really want to go! I want to toast in the evening breeze while working through nine local Osaka beers!
