The Beer Shop in Hirakata updates taps on March 24, with two peanut-butter beers also arriving
The Beer Shop Hirakata city in Hirakata, Osaka, has announced its draft lineup for Tuesday, March 24.

Belching Beaver Brewery's two peanut-butter beers are back as well, making this a lineup not to miss for anyone after a sweet, dessert-like pint with a roasty aroma.
Hop BroAt The Beer Shop Hirakata city in Hirakata, the March 24 update brought a new draft list. From Black Label to local breweries and craft beers from around Kansai, it looks like the kind of lineup that makes your glass empty fast just by looking at it.
MugiWait, they have that many Hirakata local brews?! That sounds as exciting as a neighborhood festival!
Hop BroExactly. The lineup includes Hirakata Smoke Ale from Hirakata Smoke Factory × Craft Beer Base, Session Citra White from Hirakata Beer, plus Frigg from Shiga's Flora Fermentation and No.2 Kisaragi IPA from Nara's Fermentry. It's a pretty impressive Kansai-wide lineup.
MugiHold on, what is Session Citra White? Session doesn't mean a drinking session, right?
Hop BroI like that you caught that. In beer terms, session means something easy to drink, with the lightness that makes it feel like you could keep going. So Session Citra White is basically a light, citrusy, easy-drinking beer.
MugiOhhh! Then it's perfect for those days when you just want one beer after work. And if it's a beer pub near the station, isn't opening at 3 p.m. on weekdays pretty strong?
Hop BroThat's one of The Beer Shop Hirakata city's strengths. From local collaborations to distinctive beers from all over, it gives you a lot of range in one place, so the tap lineup is really fun for side-by-side tasting.
MugiAnyway, those two peanut-butter beers from Belching Beaver Brewery have me curious! A beer with a dessert vibe sounds almost unfair.
Hop BroOne of them is Viva La Beaver, where peanut butter is layered with cinnamon and coffee. The other, Peanut Butter Milk Stout, also leans hard into toastiness and sweetness, so it's all about full-on sweet and roasty flavor.
MugiThat sounds like a complete dessert category! Starting with Black Label and finishing with a dessert-like pint is an amazing flow.
Hop BroExactly. This one really balances local pride with a sense of playfulness, which is why it feels like a truly Hirakata-style tap lineup. At this point, we've got a reason to go out for drinks tonight.
MugiYeah, I can't hold back anymore! I want to have a beer tonight, and if possible, I want to go straight for the peanut-butter one!
