APPLE HAZY IPA and Miyazaki Mango Lager arrive at The Beer Shop Hirakata city
On July 12, The Beer Shop Hirakata city in front of Hirakata-shi Station highlighted two fruit-forward beers: MARCA BREWING's APPLE HAZY IPA and Miyazaki Hideji Beer’s Miyazaki Mango Lager. The update fits the shop’s draft-focused, take-home-friendly format.
Hop BroToday I want to talk about the two fruit-forward pours that just hit the taps at The Beer Shop Hirakata city.
MugiWait, you can get that right by the station? Just hearing summer-ready draft beers has me interested!
Hop BroAnd the headliners are MARCA BREWING's APPLE HAZY IPA and Miyazaki Hideji Beer's Miyazaki Mango Lager.
MugiThose names already sound delicious! Is Miyazaki Mango Lager sweet like dessert?
Hop BroThat's the clever part: even with mango, it keeps a clean lager finish, so the sweetness never gets too loud.
MugiWhoa! Then what does 'hazy' mean in APPLE HAZY IPA? Hazy sounds like a spell or something!
Hop BroIt means a cloudy-style IPA, where wheat and oats build a silky, soft mouthfeel and help the apple juice and juicy hop aroma bloom.
MugiWhat is that! They engineer the mouthfeel too? Oat wizardry suddenly makes this sound like science class!
Hop BroThis shop also carries 150 to 200 cans and bottles, and you can drink there or take some home. Pairing them with the smoked bites next door is almost unfair.
MugiOkay, that's dangerous! Starting with tap pours, then taking favorites home is the ultimate summer plan and I want it now!
Hop BroDo you start with the juicy apple or the breezy mango? Choosing the first pint is the best kind of problem.
MugiDecision made. Tonight at The Beer Shop Hirakata city, I want both!
The Beer Shop Hirakata city is a beer pub and bottle shop connected to Hirakata-shi Station. It carries roughly 150 to 200 canned and bottled beers, and usually pours four to six draft beers at a time. Customers can drink on site or take beer home, and the staff can help narrow down the right bottle or tap pour. The adjoining smoke kitchen also gives the shop a distinctive pairing angle.
The July 12 post centers on two fruit-driven beers. One is MARCA BREWING's "APPLE HAZY IPA," a hazy IPA brewed with apple character, a smooth texture from wheat and oats, and juicy hop aroma. The other is Miyazaki Hideji Beer’s "Miyazaki Mango Lager," a fruit lager made with Miyazaki mango that keeps the finish clean and lager-like instead of overly sweet.
It is a practical summer lineup: aromatic enough to feel vivid, but light enough to keep the finish crisp. For beer fans in the Hirakata area, it is a good example of how this shop mixes fresh draft updates with a broad take-home selection. Sources: Instagram post / Venue info
