MugiWhat! Pizza Port right by the station? A popular West Coast brewery is that close to us?!
Hop BroExactly. This time they’ve got California Honey, Next Horizon, Swamis IPA, and Ponto lined up, so the range is great.
MugiNo way! Blond ale, IPA, and all that - it’s the too many styles all at once problem!
Hop BroTo put it simply, California Honey is light and easygoing, Swamis IPA is the flagship with a solid hop character, and Ponto is a session IPA focused on drinkability.
MugiOhhh! Then what makes Next Horizon different? Just hearing Citra hops already sounds delicious.
Hop BroThat’s the interesting part. Next Horizon stands out with the freshness of Citra and a tropical aroma, so it becomes the benchmark for comparing aromas.
MugiWait, beer comparisons can be that fun? And they’ve also updated six draft beers today, so I can’t keep up!
Hop BroExactly. From the first black-label pour to Wild Ginger from Naminoto Brewing, Memory Lane 2, Wakaba, Nova, and Breakfast Club, the domestic draft lineup is also strong.
MugiWhoa, going there in the daytime sounds dangerous! They’re open every day from 1 p.m. starting May 2, so this is the kind of place that makes you want to stop by in Hirakata!
Hop BroIt works for after-work drinks or daytime drinking, and the best part is being able to enjoy West Coast and Japanese draft beer together in that calm, wood-filled interior.
MugiI can’t handle it, my throat is already moving just imagining it! Let’s make the first drink in Hirakata happen today!
