Hop BroThe April 13 draft lineup at Beer House Hobbit in Hirakata is seriously hot.
MugiReally? So it’s that lively just for one day? Which beer is the star?
Hop BroThe one to watch is, of course, Minoh Beer’s Rockin Osaru IPA.
MugiWhat is that! The name alone is fun, and when I hear IPA I get excited because it sounds a little bitter! What does it taste like?
Hop BroIt has a rich aroma like grapefruit and ripe tropical fruit, with citrus freshness, malt sweetness, and hop bitterness layered on top.
MugiPeople always talk about hop bitterness, but what’s actually good about it? Isn’t it just bitter?
Hop BroBitterness helps create structure, and the nice thing is that it doesn’t become too heavy as you keep drinking. So it finishes with a dry aftertaste and still keeps that IPA character.
MugiOh! And it says there’s food to go with it too, right? Fish katsu sounds pretty bold!
Hop BroExactly. The savory crunch of fried food and the beer’s bitterness hit against each other and actually make it taste better. And there’s also a wide range of drinks to compare inside the shop.
MugiWith AOSORA Refresh Lager, Kinki Pale Ale, and even Kamikatsu Stout, it’s impossible not to be tempted! I feel like I’d want to drink them all!
Hop BroWith breweries from Osaka, Mie, Hokkaido, and Tokushima all together, it’s great that you can choose based on your mood that night in Hirakata. Tonight, checking the draft beer lineup at Beer House Hobbit is definitely the move.
MugiYeah, Rockin Osaru IPA with fish katsu sounds so good just imagining it! I want to raise a glass right now!
