Hop BroThe Beer Shop Hirakata City in Hirakata has Primary Barrels arriving for the first time. Today a new face has joined the taps, and that makes it a bit of an event.
MugiWait, just a new face on tap makes it that exciting? The staff must be applauding!
Hop BroAnd the star is the fresh-hop saison Fanmar on draft. The fact that the hops were grown together with Miyasai, a farmer in Fukuchiyama, is really something.
MugiFresh hops, what is that? Raw hops sound like they just came out of the produce drawer!
Hop BroBasically, it means using hops right after harvest. That makes the citrus aroma come through softly, and the grassy notes stay gentle.
MugiOh, nice! Even though it's a saison, it doesn't feel heavy. With that pleasantly crisp finish, it sounds like it goes down easy!
Hop BroExactly. It also has that fruity character you expect from a saison, so it's a good first toast of the night. And the other beer, the coffee stout, was already sold out by the time of the post, which shows how popular it was.
MugiWhat, the coffee stout sold out!? Did everyone get up early? Or are they beer detectives?
Hop BroThat day's taps included Black Label, plus Bank IPA, Bank Cold IPA, El Clasico, and Bitter Bug, making for a fun tasting lineup. I like how it covers everything from lager to bitter.
MugiIf they have that much on tap right by Hirakata Station, I'd want to drop in after work! I'd probably start with Fanmar and then ask for one more at the end!
At the beer pub "The Beer Shop Hirakata City" in Okahigashi-cho, Hirakata City, Osaka, the craft brewery "Primary Barrels" from Fukuchiyama, Kyoto, has arrived for the first time. The post introduced it as the May 26 delivery update, and a new lineup has been added to the in-house tap list.
The Primary Barrels beers introduced this time were two kinds. One was "Fanmar," a saison made with fresh hops grown together with Miyasai, a farmer in Fukuchiyama. The grassy notes are said to be restrained, with aromas reminiscent of citrus, the fruity character typical of a saison, and a pleasantly crisp finish. The other was a coffee stout, but it had already sold out by the time of the post.
That day's draft lineup included the standard Sapporo Beer "Black Label," along with Craft Bank Brewery (Kyoto)'s "Bank IPA," "Bank Cold IPA," "El Clasico," and "Bitter Bug," making for a selection that lets guests enjoy a wide range of styles. With the addition of the first-time arrival from Primary Barrels, the lineup expands the fun of tasting side by side, from lager to IPA, cold IPA, bitter, and saison.
