The Beer Shop Hirakata city adds four West Coast Brewing beers
The Beer Shop Hirakata city, a craft beer pub directly connected to Hirakata-shi Station in Osaka, received four beers from West Coast Brewing on July 23. The lineup spans a flagship IPA, a hazy IPA, a lager, and a hazy triple IPA.
Hop BroToday’s topic is The Beer Shop Hirakata city getting four West Coast Brewing beers right by Hirakata-shi Station.
MugiWhat! A station stop where you can do a four-beer WCB flight? That is dangerously convenient.
Hop BroThe lineup is Starwatcher and Beach Day, plus Lager Break and Haze Alliance, so it runs from IPA to lager to a huge hazy triple.
MugiHold on, what’s the difference between a West Coast IPA and a hazy one? My brain is already foaming over.
Hop BroWith Starwatcher’s crisp finish, you get Citra, Mosaic, and Simcoe pushing citrus, berries, and melon, then it snaps dry at the end.
MugiOoh, then is Beach Day’s aroma softer and juicier? Pineapple and orange already sound like vacation in a glass.
Hop BroExactly. Beach Day is a Hazy IPA, and that pillowy haze carries bright fruit from El Dorado, Wakatu, Motueka, and Nelson Sauvin.
MugiNelson Sauvin? Dank? Did we just enter full wizard vocabulary? I need subtitles.
Hop BroIn plain words, Nelson Sauvin gives a white-grape vibe, and dank means deep herbal funk that helps build Haze Alliance’s fruit bomb of lychee, mango, and pineapple.
MugiOkay, then we reset with Lager Break’s maltiness and save the hazy triple for the finale, right?
Hop BroThat’s the move. The seventh-anniversary Lager Break brings biscuit and cracker notes, and the whole thing becomes a perfect summer progression I want to drink right now.
MugiThen it’s settled. If it’s station-connected, there’s no escape from one pour at a time and honestly, I want all four.
