On Tap


Beer House Hobbit in Kawaramachi, Hirakata, Osaka has tapped BUDDY from WU-CHAW TENG BREW. In the Instagram post, the beer is described as a Czech Pale Lager, while the brewery introduces it as a daily-drinking lager built with Czech hops and malt.

BUDDY is the kind of beer that leans into balance rather than loud aroma. The brewery’s description points to a fresh, herbal character from Saaz hops and a malt profile that stays soft and bready, making it an approachable lager with a clean finish.

Beer House Hobbit is a beer pub near Hirakata-shi Station that focuses on Japanese craft beer on draft. Fresh kegs arrive daily, and the bar also keeps a broad bottle selection on hand. That makes it a good place for drinkers who want to follow the changing tap list, but also for anyone looking for a straightforward pint in a relaxed pub setting.

With BUDDY on tap, the bar adds a lager that should work well as a first pour or alongside fried snacks, salty bar food, and simple grilled dishes. For anyone searching for a Czech-style lager in Hirakata, this is a tap update worth noting.
