Hop BroToday’s headline is Beer House Hobbit in Hirakata, where Groundtap Brewery just tapped AMANATSU on draft.
MugiWhat? A station-front beer pub with six taps for Saturday is coming in way too hot for the weekend!
Hop BroThe star is AMANATSU, a sour ale with amanatsu made with locally grown Ehime wheat, so it is built for summer.
MugiHold on, I get sour beer, but lactic acid from fermentation sounds like a science quiz I definitely did not study for!
Hop BroIt is simpler than it sounds. That lactic note is a soft, yogurt-like tang, and with the citrus and wheat sweetness it becomes complex but easy-drinking.
MugiOhhh! So it is not just sharp and sour, it has depth behind the acidity. That sounds dangerously crushable in this heat!
Hop BroAnd the full list is Nomcraft Brewing’s Nomcraft Lager, Be Easy Brewing’s Daiji na Keyagu, Coedo Brewery’s Marihana, Daisen G Brewery’s Stout, Groundtap Brewery’s AMANATSU, and Isekadoya Brewery’s Nekojima, which is a wildly broad tap spread.
MugiNo way, that is a full tasting committee waiting to happen, and I would absolutely appoint myself chair!
Hop BroThe food is pulling its weight too: roast beef with fresh vegetables, zebra eggplant with pork loin, and clay-pot sea bream rice make it a seasonal pairing lineup.
MugiThat is outrageous. It is basically worth visiting for food before the first sip even lands!
Hop BroStill, the first pour has to be AMANATSU. That citrusy lift makes it the perfect summer opener before you move into the rest.
MugiLocked in. I want to start with AMANATSU, finish on the stout, and walk into Beer House Hobbit with my appetite fully unlocked.
