Beer House Hobbit taps West Coast Brewing Firelight and Nichinan Lemon Freshly Squeezed Session Hazy IPA
At Beer House Hobbit, a beer pub in Kawaramachi, Hirakata, Osaka, two new kegs were tapped on July 25: West Coast Brewing's Firelight and Miyazaki Hideji Brewery's Nichinan Lemon Freshly Squeezed Session Hazy IPA. The board pairs a citrusy West Coast IPA with a lemon-forward session hazy.
Hop BroBeer House Hobbit in Hirakata has a July 25 fresh tap lineup that looks seriously good today. They just tapped West Coast Brewing's Firelight and Miyazaki Hideji Beer's Nichinan Lemon Fresh-Squeezed Session Hazy IPA.
MugiWhat! Two headline beers at once? Those names already sound delicious, and now I can't even choose where I'd start!
Hop BroFirelight is a West Coast IPA with citrus and tropical fruit on the nose, but the sip stays crisp. It's light on its feet, while the hop aroma still comes through clearly.
MugiOkay, but West Coast IPA means what exactly? Do I need to face the ocean while drinking it? This name sounds like a vacation package!
Hop BroClose, but no beach required. Think clean, snappy bitterness with a defined aroma and a dry finish, so your mouth immediately wants the next sip.
MugiOhhh, so it's like hops are surfing across your tongue, then the wave pulls back fast. Why does that make me want one even more?
Hop BroThe Miyazaki Hideji Beer one leans hard into Nichinan Meyer lemon. It layers three hop aromas over rich fruit character, and the freshness feels like someone just squeezed the lemon.
MugiWait, what is this, a full citrus parade? And now Session Hazy IPA has entered the chat like another spell I need subtitles for!
Hop BroThat part's simple: Session Hazy IPA means it's built to be easy-drinking, with a soft cloudy texture and juicy character. So the lemon pops first, and you can just enjoy it without overthinking.
MugiGot it, so Firelight is the crisp one, and this is the juicy lemon role. Side by side, that sounds dangerously fun.
Hop BroAnd Beer House Hobbit already had Yona Yona's Indo no Aooni, Sankt Gallen's Chou Shonan Gold, and Groundtap's AMANATSU on, with another keg possibly coming later. It's exactly the kind of tap-chasing pub that makes me want a flight.
MugiThen that's settled. Cheers in Hirakata first with Firelight, then the Nichinan Lemon one for a bright finish. Now I seriously need a pint.
