Beer House Hobbit taps Nomcraft’s Spruce Moose in a six-beer July 21 lineup
Beer House Hobbit in Hirakata, Osaka, shared its July 21 draft lineup. The highlight is Nomcraft Brewing’s Spruce Moose, joined by five other beers and a Mexican taco plate designed to pair well with the beers on tap.
Hop BroToday's topic is Beer House Hobbit and its July 21 tap list. Six beers on draft in Hirakata, and the star is Nomcraft's "Spruce Moose."
MugiWait, six beers on tap already sounds impossible to choose from! And a place called Hobbit? That sounds like I'd start an adventure before the first sip!
Hop BroThe headliner is Spruce Moose, a North West IPA from Nomcraft Brewing. It layers a foresty woody aroma with fruity notes like mango and berries.
MugiWhat is a North West IPA supposed to mean? Are we drinking beer or following a compass?
Hop BroBasically, it's an IPA where bitterness and malt balance really matter. Not just juicy sweetness everywhere, more like bright aroma with a crisp, firm finish.
MugiWhoa, that's forest-meets-fruit energy. Woody aroma plus mango and berries is so much information my brain is already cheering.
Hop BroAnd the food match is Mexican tacos, which is the smart part. Spicy meat, tomato acidity, and jalapeno or Tabasco heat can catch all that hop aroma and bitterness.
MugiThat pairing sounds dangerous in the best way. Just hearing taco support power makes the tacos sound like the beer's perfect sidekick!
Hop BroThe full list also spans from lagers to fruit beers. Nomcraft Lager, Daijina Keyagu, Marihana, Chou Shonan Gold, AMANATSU, and Spruce Moose, so it covers a lot of ground.
MugiIf they also have potato chips and grilled edamame, then we have to go to Hirakata. I want to spend the night bouncing between Spruce Moose and tacos!
Hop BroThat's the move. For me, the first pour is settled. Start with Spruce Moose, wander into the forest, then reset with a lager, that's exactly the kind of lineup that makes you want a drink now.
