The Beer Shop Hirakata city adds Black Label and Codebreaker to its June 5 tap list
The Beer Shop Hirakata city in Hirakata, Osaka, published its June 5 tap list. New taps include Sapporo Brewery's Black Label and Trademark Brewing's Codebreaker, alongside beers from Craftbank Brewery and West Coast Brewing. The shop says it will be running a normal evening service with two staff members.
Hop BroThe tap list at The Beer Shop Hirakata city for June 5 looks seriously good. New on tap are Sapporo Black Label and Codebreaker, which feels like they prepared both the easy entry and the deep end.
MugiWait, Black Label and Codebreaker at the same time? That range is wild. It goes from classic comfort to imported craft in one move!
Hop BroExactly. Black Label brings classic lager comfort, and Trademark Brewing's Codebreaker adds that bold American edge, so the lineup gives people very different ways to choose.
MugiHold on, I get classic lager, but what do you mean by a bold American edge? Is this beer trying to pick a fight with me?
Hop BroNot a fight. When I say hop definition, I mean the aroma and bitterness show up clearly. You can actually notice where the citrus pops and where the bitterness lands.
MugiOhhh, so hop definition means the flavor has a clear face! Why does that make beer sound like it's posing for an ID photo?
Hop BroAnd there are six beers total, with Craftbank Brewery showing up in a three-beer lineup: Bank IPA, El Clasico, and Bitter Bug. That covers IPA, something more classical, and a more bitter-leaning pour.
MugiWow, a three-beer lineup is strong already, and then West Coast Brewing's Star Watcher joins too? I'd spend ten minutes just staring at the taps.
Hop BroThat's the fun of it. They also said it's regular night service for two, while mentions of more summer-to-fall event offers make it feel like the shop is active both inside and outside.
MugiI like that. The place is running normally but still building toward the next season. I'd start with a pint of Black Label, then jump to Codebreaker and pretend I flew to the U.S.
Hop BroThat's a solid plan. Start gentle, finish with character. This really is a flight-worthy night if you want to taste the whole range.
MugiDone, I'm fully in stare-at-the-taps mode now. I want that first sip in Hirakata and the immediate feeling of, "Yep, coming here was the right call."
The Beer Shop Hirakata city, a beer pub in Okahigashicho, Hirakata, Osaka, published its tap list for Friday, June 5. In the post, the shop says it will operate as usual, with two people on the evening shift, and also notes that inquiries for event vending have been increasing from summer into autumn.
Two beers are listed as fresh taps for the day: Sapporo Brewery's Black Label and Trademark Brewing (USA)'s Codebreaker. The lineup pairs a familiar lager with a beer from an American brewery, giving drinkers a broad set of choices.
The full draft lineup for the day is as follows:
- Sapporo Brewery, Black Label
- Craftbank Brewery (Kyoto), Bank IPA
- Trademark Brewing (USA), Codebreaker
- Craftbank Brewery (Kyoto), El Clasico
- Craftbank Brewery (Kyoto), Bitter Bug
- West Coast Brewing (Shizuoka), Starwatcher
Three Craftbank Brewery beers are on tap, covering IPA, a classic-leaning option, and a more bitter-leaning beer. With West Coast Brewing's Starwatcher in the mix, the list should also appeal to drinkers looking for a hop-forward pour. The shop's post suggests a business that balances in-store service with frequent event appearances, which gives The Beer Shop Hirakata city a very hands-on, field-tested feel.
