The Beer Shop Hirakata city opens Sanktgallen’s Pineapple Ale on Aug. 18
The Hirakata beer pub shared its draft lineup for August 18: Sapporo Black Label, Sanktgallen’s Pineapple Ale, and Hirakata Beer’s Session Citra White. A Coronado Brewing special with San Diego beers and tacos is also scheduled for August 22-23.
Hop BroToday’s lineup at The Beer Shop Hirakata city is all about August 18 taps. They’ve got Sapporo Black Label, Sankt Gallen’s “Pineapple Ale,” and Hirakata Beer’s “Session Citra White” on deck.
MugiWhat! That is full summer energy. But I’m locked onto Pineapple Ale already. The name alone feels like a vacation.
Hop BroThe headliner is definitely Pineapple Ale. It’s a seasonal Sankt Gallen favorite, built on a dry IPA base, with pineapple aroma and flavor up front, then a light bitter and clean finish.
MugiHold on, dry IPA base just turned this into science class. What’s IPA, and does dry mean it forgot how to be juicy?
Hop BroBasically, hop-forward beer is what IPA means here. And dry means it doesn’t finish sweet or sticky. You get the fruit impression, but the aftertaste snaps clean instead of lingering like syrup.
MugiOhhh, so it’s tropical but crisp. Pineapple walks in wearing sunglasses, then exits like a disciplined athlete.
Hop BroAlso, even though the tap count is lower this time, they’re still doing daily Black Label tapping, at least one keg a day, so the beer stays fresh. That kind of consistency matters.
MugiAnd I love the local beer angle too. “Session Citra White” already sounds light, refreshing, and made for an easy round.
Hop BroExactly, Session Citra White fits the flow nicely. You’ve got a reliable lager, a summery fruit-driven beer, and a local pick, so the lineup feels small but very intentional.
MugiAnd that’s not even the end? There’s a weekend follow-up too? Those “coming soon” slots are starting to feel suspiciously exciting.
Hop BroOn August 22 and 23, they’re running Coronado 2-Day Special. It’s a San Diego, West Coast setup with beer and tacos, so the week moves from classic lagers into fruit beer and then straight into a themed party.
MugiThat seals it, I’m at maximum thirst now. Pineapple Ale on August 18, then tacos and Coronado on August 22 and 23. That sounds like a perfect beer plan.
