Beer House Hobbit opens Isekadoya Honkado IPA and Float Lager
Beer House Hobbit in Hirakata, Osaka, posted its Saturday draft lineup on August 1. The bar opened Isekadoya Brewery's Honkado IPA and Shimanami Brewery's Float Lager, with six draft beers listed for the day.
Hop BroBeer House Hobbit in Hirakata just dropped its Saturday tap list, and two fresh kegs are joining the lineup today.
MugiWhat! Two new taps on a Saturday? That is basically weekend fan service. Which beers are on?
Hop BroFirst up is ISEKADOYA's Honkaku IPA for the 25th anniversary, a classic American IPA with rich malt depth and a really clean hop bitterness backed by solid structure.
MugiHold on, what do you mean by structure? Does this beer have a spine standing up inside the glass?
Hop BroNot an actual spine, just the flavor base. That malt foundation keeps the bitterness from sticking out too hard, so it still feels full and satisfying.
MugiOkay, that helps. But the name 'Float Lager' from Shimanami Brewery already has my attention. It sounds made for post-bath drinking.
Hop BroExactly, and the fun part is just 3.5% ABV. It stays light, but still has enough bitterness and gentle sweetness to feel like a real beer, not a compromise.
MugiWait, low ABV with body? That sounds like the kind of beer that quietly turns one pint into an all-afternoon plan.
Hop BroAnd the rest of the list is strong too: West Coast Brewing's Firelight, Hirakata Beer Session Citra White, Yatsugatake Brewery's Shirakaba Beat, and Minoh Beer x YOROCCO BEER's KOMPAS. The six-beer spread is seriously well balanced.
MugiIPA, lager, white-style beer, even a collab? That is a great tasting lineup. My glass is about to need a route map.
MugiAnd it is right by the station with fries and Japanese-style buffalo wings? That is an immediate detour from whatever responsible plans I had.
Hop BroThat rotating draft list is exactly why places like this are fun. Today, Float Lager into Honkaku IPA sounds like the right move, and now I want both.
