café&beer Aruka→Aruka in Osaka's Namba Sennichimae unveils a nine-tap lineup centered on Osaka brewers
The beer pub café&beer Aruka→Aruka in Osaka's Namba Sennichimae announced its tap list for May 29, 2026 in a post. Centered on Osaka breweries, it features a wide range of styles, from the collaborative "13 Red Ale" to "PUNK IPA" and "Heartland."
Hop BroThe big reveal is here for the nine taps in Osaka's Namba Sennichimae. café&beer Aruka→Aruka has put out today's lineup, and I like how they're centering Osaka brewers while mixing in classics.
MugiWait, centered on Osaka brewers? So many local breweries gathered together? The tap rack looks like a packed Osaka commuter train!
Hop BroThe one to watch is the shop-named 13 Red Ale. Since it's a Session Red IPA, you get a malty red character with a lighter body that won't wear you out.
MugiSession what now? So it's a lightweight IPA? It's red but light, and my brain can't process that from the appearance alone!
Hop BroExactly. The idea is to keep the alcohol in check while still delivering plenty of aroma. And with a herbal Golden Ale and a yuzu HAZY IPA on the board too, it's a lineup made for tasting side by side.
MugiWhoa, that's like a triple hit of aroma. Lavender, chamomile, and then yuzu too? That's basically a beer-world aroma salon!
Hop BroWhat makes it even more interesting is Derailleur Brew Works' offbeat IPL and BAK Brewing's Banana Milk Weizen. IPL stands for India Pale Lager, a style that wraps IPA-like hop character in lager crispness.
MugiWhat is that! Crispness from a lager sounds like a bike taking a sharp turn. And banana plus milk? The name alone makes me want to order it!
Hop BroTo finish, there's CRAFT BEER BASE's West Coast IPA, Minoh Beer's big stout, and even PUNK IPA and Heartland. Bitterness, roast, and easy-drinking staples all show up at once.
MugiWow, and the food pairings are ridiculously versatile too! If they've got water eggplant, tsukune, and even pescatore, then staying late is a sure thing tonight!
Hop BroYeah, the phrase "a beer pub that stays close by" fits perfectly. While staying hydrated in the heat, I want to take my time enjoying an Osaka pint in Namba.
MugiI'm completely sold! My candidate for tonight's pint is either the 13 Red Ale or the stout, and I feel like I'll end up ordering both anyway!
