New tap openings at The Beer Shop Hirakata city: two noteworthy taps on March 25
The craft beer pub The Beer Shop Hirakata city in Osaka's Hirakata announced new draft taps in a March 25 post. While sharing the trial-and-error process of adjusting serving conditions, it specifically introduces two beers with very different personalities from Nara and Shiga. It is a tap update that conveys the fun of tasting them side by side.
Hop BroThe Beer Shop Hirakata city in Hirakata updated its draft lineup on March 25. You can really see how serious they are about the pour and liquid stability.
MugiWhoa, they even talk about conditioning adjustments? It's not just, “We got a new beer in!”
Hop BroExactly. First is Fermentry / No.2 Kisaragi IPA from Nara. It's a pretty modern IPA that really brings out hop aroma and bitterness.
MugiWow! Can hop aroma really make that much of a difference? That instantly gives off major beer-geek vibes!
Hop BroIPA is about more than bitterness; aroma is a star too. That's why when the balance of aroma and bitterness clicks, it pulls you in from the very first sip.
MugiI see! So Shiga's Frigg is totally heading in a different direction?
Hop BroThat's right. It's Flora Fermentation's Strawberry Milkshake Ale, so you can enjoy the gentle sweetness and milky feel from local strawberries.
MugiA milkshake, but it's beer!? “Like strawberry milk” is such a wild idea I can't quite picture it!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. The softly rising strawberry-derived aroma and the smooth mouthfeel make it a huge contrast if you drink it after an IPA.
MugiWhoa, being able to drink two total opposites on the same day is amazing! It saves both the bitterness fans and the sweet-beer fans!
Hop BroAnd they even teased that there are other new taps too. It's the kind of place that makes you want to keep chasing well-conditioned pours in Hirakata and do another tasting side by side.
MugiI already want to go! At this station-side beer pub, I'd be torn between starting with the IPA or starting with Frigg... I want to drink while agonizing over it!
New movement in the draft lineup on March 25
The craft beer specialty shop The Beer Shop Hirakata city in Okahigashicho, Hirakata City, Osaka Prefecture, posted on March 25 to share its latest tap information under the heading “various new draft taps opened.” The post also mentions that the shop is fine-tuning serving quality while working through the stability of the pour and the beer itself, giving a sense of the careful, day-to-day effort that goes into operations.
New beers confirmed in the post
- Fermentry (Nara) / No.2 Kisaragi IPA
Introduced as a modern IPA with a clear hop aroma and firm bitterness.
- Flora Fermentation (Shiga) / Frigg
A Strawberry Milkshake Ale made with local strawberries. It is described as having a gentle, strawberry-milk-like mouthfeel and a light floral character from the strawberries.
Because the two beers head in clearly different directions, the lineup makes it possible to drink across a wide range in a single day, from a bitterness-driven glass to one with a strong fruit presence. The post also says “there are other new taps too” and “more details to come,” so there is plenty of anticipation for future tap updates.
