At the beer pub "Beer House Hobbit" in Kawaramachi, Hirakata City, Osaka Prefecture, two draft beers have been tapped. The beers introduced in the post are Minamishinshu Beer’s "Apple Hop -Kogyoku-" and Oni Densetsu Jibeer’s "Kinki Pale Ale."

Beer House Hobbit is a spot for domestic craft beer in the Hirakata Station area. As a beer pub you can casually stop by in the middle of town, its appeal is that you can enjoy beer and food together.

"Apple Hop -Kogyoku-" is a fruit beer made with Kogyoku apples. Its apple-derived aroma and acidity tend to stand out, making it a beer to enjoy with food. On the other hand, "Kinki Pale Ale" is a pale ale whose appeal lies in its hop aroma and firm bitterness. What makes it interesting is being able to line up and compare two beers with very different characters: one leaning toward fruity sweetness, the other centered on hops.

The post also features beef cutlet, and it makes you want to try pairing the richness of the fried dish either with the fruity "Apple Hop -Kogyoku-" or with the hop-driven bitterness of "Kinki Pale Ale." For a day when you want to enjoy craft beer and a solid meal in Hirakata, this is a tap announcement worth keeping in mind.
