Hop BroFive draft beers on tap in Hirakata is a pretty strong lineup. On May 16, The Beer Shop Hirakata city really made the glasses lively all at once.
MugiWhoa! It includes SORACHI 1984 too? The name already sounds intense, so I’m happy I can drink it on draft!
Hop BroAnd this time it was the last SORACHI. In other words, they tapped the final keg from what they had stocked during Golden Week.
MugiNo way! Woody and piney sounds like you’re drinking wood and forest. Can beer really have a scent like that?
Hop BroExactly. Roughly speaking, it has wood-like and pine-like notes. It’s hop-derived aroma, but SORACHI 1984 is distinctive there, while the drink itself isn’t too heavy.
MugiI see! If the mouthfeel isn’t too heavy, then it sounds like something to enjoy slowly instead of pounding back. Despite the powerful name, it’s a gentle one!
Hop BroWhat’s more, the other taps are interesting too, with everything from staples to local labels. You’ve got a reliable lager like Kuro Label, plus West Coast Brewing’s Starwatcher, Hirakata Beer’s Session Citra White, and Craft Beer Base’s Mix Juicy.
MugiWow, that’s a lineup you can choose from depending on your mood! Light and crisp today, hop explosion today, local pride today - I want to do all of it!
Hop BroThe Beer Shop Hirakata city is also strong because it’s conveniently connected to the station. Since it’s on the third floor of Hirakata Sun Plaza Building No. 3, directly connected to Keihan Hirakata City Station, it’s perfect for stopping by for just one drink after work.
MugiAnd you can pair it with the neighbor’s house-made smoked foods too? That’s almost unfair. I’d end up drinking, snacking, and before I know it, ordering another round!
Hop BroExactly - it really feels like a place with Hirakata character. So, should we start with SORACHI 1984 today? Or settle in with Kuro Label first and then dive into the hop abyss?
