The Beer Shop Hirakata city posts June 9 draft lineup with Sapporo, Trademark, Craftbank, and Hirakata Beer
The Beer Shop Hirakata city, a beer pub near Hirakata-shi Station, posted its June 9 draft lineup. The bar will open from 6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. that day, with Sapporo Black Label alongside beers from the U.S., Kyoto, and Hirakata.
Hop BroTonight's topic is The Beer Shop Hirakata city. Their June 9 tap list looks sharp, with five beers spanning the U.S., Kyoto, and local Hirakata.
MugiWhat! Five beers to compare right by the station? That's dangerous for my after-work self-control!
Hop BroAnd it's built around Sapporo Black Label, a classic lager, plus Codebreaker from Trademark Brewing, El Clasico and Bitter Bug from Craft Bank Brewery, and Session Citra White from Hirakata Beer.
MugiHold on, Session Citra White already sounds like three beers in a trench coat. What is it?
Hop BroHere's the breakdown: session beer usually means light and easy to keep drinking, Citra suggests citrusy hops, and white points toward a soft wit-style profile.
MugiOhh, so it's basically an easy white ale I can befriend immediately!
Hop BroExactly, and with El Clasico and Bitter Bug from Kyoto in the mix, it shouldn't be all soft and breezy. There should be bitterness and malt depth too.
MugiWhat is that, malt depth and range? You turned happy hour into a science class!
Hop BroSimple version: it's the toastiness and body from the grain, and the shop's smoked food pairing next door should make even one pint feel complete.
MugiI'm in. From 6 to 11 p.m., I want to go from Codebreaker to Black Label and finish with smoked snacks like I know what I'm doing.
Hop BroEven without a flashy takeover, a wood-heavy relaxed space and a mood-based lineup like this are seriously strong. It makes you want to drop in for a pint.
MugiThen it's settled. One beer in Hirakata is definitely happening, and station access means I can get there before I get lost!
June 9 draft lineup
The Beer Shop Hirakata city in Osaka's Hirakata City shared its draft beer lineup for Tuesday, June 9. Because of filming, the shop will skip lunch service and open from 6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. The venue sits on the 3rd floor of Hirakata Sun Plaza No. 3, directly connected to Hirakata-shi Station, and is known as a beer pub where guests can drink in-house or buy bottles and cans to take away.
Beers on tap
- Sapporo Brewery / Kurorabel
- Trademark Brewing (USA) / Codebreaker
- Craftbank Brewery (Kyoto) / El Clasico
- Craftbank Brewery (Kyoto) / Bitter Bug
- Hirakata Beer (Osaka) / Session Citra White
Tap No. 2 was listed as "coming soon," so one slot is still to be revealed. The lineup mixes a reliable standard, two beers from Kyoto, one from the U.S., and a local Hirakata beer, making it a good set for comparison drinking.
One of the shop's strengths is its pairing with smoked foods from the adjacent Hirakata Smoked Goods workshop. The warm wooden counter space makes it easy to stop in for a quick pint after work, and the combination of draft beer and smoked snacks gives the place a distinct local character without feeling overbuilt.
For beer fans, this is the kind of bar where you can check the board, pick a style that fits the mood, and keep the visit focused on the beer itself.
