The Beer Shop Hirakata city taps Revision DIPA and four more beers on July 16
The Beer Shop Hirakata city, a beer pub in Hirakata, Osaka, published its July 16 tap list. The lineup includes Revision Brewing’s DIPA, Sapporo’s Kurolabel, ASOBI Brewery’s Yosano no Aooni, and three other beers.
Hop BroHirakata is looking strong today. Five taps in the lineup at The Beer Shop Hirakata city, and they even have a Revision Brewing DIPA on.
MugiWait, Revision Brewing is that overseas brewery, right? Finding a big American hop bomb in Hirakata feels like an incident.
Hop BroExactly. The star of the list is a Double IPA. It uses a huge amount of hops, with pine-like notes first and then grapefruit and citrus aromas rolling in.
MugiHold on, when you say tons of hops, it makes me picture drinking a whole shrubbery!
Hop BroThat is the common misunderstanding. Hop-forward flavor doesn't just mean bitter; it means those citrusy aromas really lift. Less 'lawn clippings,' more 'fruit market with great energy.'
MugiOoh, fruit market energy I can work with! And at 8% ABV, this sounds like the kind of beer that quietly rearranges your balance.
Hop BroAnd the smart part is the list covers locals and classics too: Sapporo Brewery's Kuro Label, ASOBI Brewery's Yosano no Aooni, Nomcraft's Wonder Mosaic, and Hirakata Beer's Session Citra White.
MugiSession Citra White already sounds refreshing. Does 'session' mean break time? Are these beers starting a meeting without me?
Hop BroClose, but a session beer is built to drink more easily. Add Citra's citrus character and a soft white-beer touch, and it works great as a first pint.
MugiWow, I can already see the route: start there, move to Revision, then settle down with Kuro Label. And if they have charcoal-grilled chicken, that's basically a trap after work.
Hop BroExactly. With seared parent chicken and Miyazaki red chicken on charcoal, it's a place where beer and food move at the same pace. Plus there's a coming-soon tap, so one round probably won't be enough.
MugiMy brain is already in one pint in Hirakata mode! At The Beer Shop Hirakata city, I want to drink my way from that hop-loaded DIPA to the local beers in order.
Tap list
The Beer Shop Hirakata city shared its July 16 draft lineup from its beer pub in Hirakata, Osaka. The list includes Sapporo Brewery’s Kurolabel, ASOBI Brewery (Kyoto)’s Yosano no Aooni, Nomcraft (Wakayama)’s Wonder Mosaic, Revision Brewing (USA)’s DIPA, and Hirakata Beer (Osaka)’s Session Citra White. One additional slot is marked coming soon.
Revision Brewing’s DIPA
The standout on the list is Revision Brewing’s DIPA. The post describes it as a hop-heavy double IPA with pine-like aromatics followed by grapefruit and citrus notes. At 8% ABV, it is positioned as a beer with solid depth and plenty of hop character.
Food pairing
The shop’s food side is part of the appeal as well. The post mentions charcoal-grilled parent chicken prepared for tataki, plus Miyazaki-grown red chicken on charcoal. That makes this a place where the draft list and the chicken menu can be enjoyed together, rather than as separate attractions.
Why it matters
Located in central Hirakata, the bar mixes mainstream Japanese beer, regional craft, and an American hop-forward IPA in one daily lineup. For beer drinkers, that kind of range is often what turns a quick stop into a longer session.
