Hop BroAt Beer House Hobbit in Hirakata, the collaboration AOSORA Refresh Lager with Shima Brewing has been tapped. Among the six draft beers, this is today's headliner.
MugiWhoa! A collaboration beer? Is it really that special? Now I suddenly want to go drink one!
Hop BroExactly, and it's a clean, crisp lager. Light and snappy, just like the name suggests, it's a refreshing beer that feels like blue sky.
MugiWhen I hear lager, it sounds kind of hard to understand... what does snappy actually mean?
Hop BroIn short, it means the finish doesn't linger and the mouthfeel is light. It won't get in the way of food, so it's the kind of beer that's dangerously easy to keep drinking.
MugiI see! And you can even order it in a usuhari thin glass, which feels a bit like a connoisseur move. Does the glass really make that much difference?
Hop BroIt really does. The touch on the lips becomes more delicate, and the aroma comes through more easily, so with a thin glass, the lager's subtlety comes out beautifully.
MugiAnd there's even a morning-harvest vegetable plate too!? A beer place going this serious on vegetables was totally unexpected!
Hop BroShungiku, snap peas, water eggplant, Carol Seven, and kawachi bankan make for a really good spring assortment. Bitterness, sweetness, and freshness all push the beer along nicely.
MugiThe lineup has all six taps going, with saison, sour, and stout too, right? Sounds like tonight is going to be busy for both my stomach and my mood!
Hop BroBeer House Hobbit is easy to stop by in the Hirakata Station area, so it's just right for a post-work first drink. Keep the Sunday closure in mind, and tonight is set with AOSORA Refresh Lager and the vegetable plate.
MugiYeah, this is definitely a drink tonight kind of night! A lager like blue sky and some vegetables could make this a pretty great day!
