The Beer Shop Hirakata city announces Hideji Beer 30th anniversary 3-can set
The Beer Shop Hirakata city in Hirakata, Osaka, unveiled its June 6 lineup, led by Hideji Beer’s 30th anniversary collaboration set and a wide draft selection.
Hop BroThere’s a fun update out of Hirakata, and this 30th anniversary 3-can set is seriously tempting. The Beer Shop Hirakata city is featuring a Miyazaki Hideji Beer collaboration set on Saturday, 6/6.
MugiWait, Miyazaki Hideji Beer in a special 3-can set? That sounds way too celebratory to ignore. What’s in it?
Hop BroIt’s Hideji Beer × B.M.B Brewery West Coast IPA, Hideji Beer × MOJIKO BEER TAIYO WEIZEN, and Hideji Beer × NOVORU BREWING HAZY IPA. Basically, it’s a three-way flavor showdown.
MugiWhat is that, a spellbook of beer styles? West Coast, Hazy, Weizen... how are those actually different?
Hop BroWest Coast IPA is bright and hop-forward with clean firm bitterness, Hazy IPA is cloudy and juicy, and Weizen is soft and fluffy from the wheat.
MugiOhhh, that’s like a beer weather forecast. Hazy is fog, Weizen is clouds, and somehow my brain just entered rainy season!
Hop BroAnd here’s the nice part: it’s mainly a take-home set, but you can also do all three in-house. If you drink them there, the usual opening fee applies.
MugiHold on, what’s an opening fee? You open one can and suddenly it becomes a ceremony? Also, is the draft lineup stacked too?
Hop BroThe opening fee is just the charge for having the shop open packaged beer for you to drink there. And the taps absolutely deliver, with Sapporo Black Label, Craftbank Brewery’s Bank IPA, El Clasico, Bitter Bug, Trademark Brewing’s Codebreaker, and Hirakata Beer’s Session Citra White forming a solid tasting lineup.
MugiWow, local to international in one stop? That’s strong. You could hold an entire strategy meeting just to decide how you want to get pleasantly wrecked.
Hop BroAnd owner Nagao even talks about thin handmade glasses and the single-pour approach, which totally fits a place that wants you to notice every expression in the beer. Just hearing that makes me want a pint.
MugiThen we have no choice, we need to go. Even deciding the first pour of the day between the anniversary cans and the draft list already sounds delicious.
The Beer Shop Hirakata city, a beer pub in Hirakata, Osaka, is featuring Hideji Beer’s 30th anniversary collaboration 3-can set on Saturday, June 6.
The set includes Hideji Beer × B.M.B Brewery West Coast IPA, Hideji Beer × MOJIKO BEER TAIYO WEIZEN, and Hideji Beer × NOVORU BREWING HAZY IPA. It is being sold primarily as a takeout set, though drinking all three in the pub is also possible with the usual opening fee.
The draft list for the day is also strong: Sapporo Brewery Black Label, Craftbank Brewery (Kyoto) Bank IPA, Trademark Brewing (USA) Codebreaker, Craftbank Brewery (Kyoto) El Clasico, Craftbank Brewery (Kyoto) Bitter Bug, and Hirakata Beer (Osaka) Session Citra White. The lineup moves from familiar staples to overseas imports and local beer, giving visitors a clear tasting spread.
Owner Nagao also notes that the shop opens at 1 p.m. on weekends. With its hand-crafted thin glassware and careful pouring style, the bar keeps the focus on the beer itself. Given the limited nature of the 30th anniversary set, it looks worth checking early.
