Beer House Hobbit highlights bone-in thigh karaage and six drafts
In a September 2 post, Beer House Hobbit, a beer pub in Hirakata, Osaka, introduced its featured dish, bone-in thigh karaage, along with six draft beers. The shop also announced advance tickets for its 17th anniversary event on September 12-13.
Hop BroToday's feature is Beer House Hobbit in Hirakata; they've dropped a dangerous combo of fried chicken and six beers on tap.
MugiWhat! Bone-in chicken karaage already sounds overpowered! I feel like I could finish a beer just reading that!
Hop BroThe star is curry-spiced karaage. Crispy skin first, then a burst of juicy meat, and that's basically a cheat code at a beer pub.
MugiNo way, juices and spice together? That's a party in my mouth! But with six taps, what pairing wins?
Hop BroThis is where it gets good: a six-tap lineup. Yatsugatake Brewery's Mizudashi Coffee Lager, Hirakata Beer's Session Citra White, Ushitora Brewery's Ashura Triple IPA, Kumazawa Shuzo's Hazy IPA #10-Tango-, Iwate Kura Beer's Tomeito Ale, and Minoh Beer's Summer Lager.
MugiHold on, Session Citra White sounds like a tongue twister. Is that a beer or a spell?
Hop BroSession means lighter and easier to drink, Citra gives citrusy hop character, and White points to a softer wheat-beer feel. So basically a bright white-style ale that washes the fried chicken down beautifully.
MugiOhhh! Then what about Ashura Triple IPA? The name sounds like the final boss.
Hop BroThat's the bodybuilder of hops: bigger alcohol, bigger hop punch. Meanwhile Hazy IPA #10-Tango- is softer and cloudy, Tomeito Ale brings a tomato note, and Summer Lager finishes clean, so you can match beer to whatever food lands on the table.
MugiAnd they're also selling 17th anniversary tickets for September 12 and 13, right? Even leftover tickets turning into vouchers through the end of the year is ridiculously nice!
Hop BroExactly, and with goya dressed with plum, clay-pot sawara rice, and Montanara-style curry too, it's basically one-stop eating and drinking. Honestly, I'm ready for a pint already.
MugiNow I want a toast in Hirakata! Give me that bone-in karaage, then let me seriously panic over which tap to start with!
