The Beer Shop Hirakata City: Six Draft Beers, Including Two from Craft Beer Base in Umeda
The beer pub "The Beer Shop Hirakata city" in Hirakata City released its tap list for April 12. Two beers from Craft Beer Base in Umeda, "Mix Juicy" and "Pale Ale," were added, alongside local draft beers from breweries such as Kunikotomo Beer and Hirakata Beer.
Hop BroToday, there are six draft beers lined up in Hirakata, and the April 12 tap list at The Beer Shop Hirakata city is pretty interesting.
MugiWhoa! Six kinds? And Hirakata has that nice local feel to it!
Hop BroExactly. From Craft Beer Base in Umeda, they brought in Mix Juicy and Pale Ale, and the former is a Hazy IPA inspired by Osaka's signature mixed juice.
MugiWhat's a Hazy IPA? You mean a cloudy IPA? If it tastes like juice, it sounds easy to drink!
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it's a style that feels soft in both appearance and aroma, with strong orange and lime notes. The key with Mix Juicy is that it's fruity yet refreshing.
MugiWow, a refreshing Hazy? That's the best. It's like pretending to be juice while actually being beer!
Hop BroThe other Craft Beer Base pale ale is pretty classy too. It recreates the original recipe, combining hop citrus aroma with the warmth of caramel malt, and even pays tribute to the early movement.
MugiWait, it has that much craft beer history in it? That's the kind of beer you want to talk about before you even drink it!
Hop BroAnd the supporting lineup is strong too. Kunikotomo Beer's American Pale Ale, Hirakata Beer's Session Citra White, plus a cast from Osaka and nearby prefectures are all in the mix.
MugiWow, Osaka is bringing the heat! If there's Frigg from Shiga and Boom Box from Shizuoka too, today is the kind of day where you get lost trying to taste everything!
Hop BroAnd apparently it's Nagao running the whole place solo today, which makes it feel even more like a neighborhood bar. With a 1 p.m. opening and a tap list like this, it's the kind of place you just want to stop by.
MugiYeah, this is totally a candidate for tonight's drink. Do I start with Mix Juicy, or settle in with Black Label... I want both and that's the problem!
