The Beer Shop Hirakata city opens on Aug. 10 with Craftbank 04-Kolsh on tap
The Beer Shop Hirakata city in Hirakata, Osaka will open unusually on Monday, Aug. 10. The lineup includes Craftbank Brewing’s 04-Kolsh, along with Kurolabel, Teikoku IPA, Egret IPA, and Session Citra White.
Hop BroQuick heads-up, special opening alert: The Beer Shop Hirakata city is opening on August 10 from 3 p.m., and tapping Craft Bank Brewery's 04-Kolsch.
MugiWait, one-day extra opening? And 04-Kolsch sounds like a robot beer from the future!
Hop BroThat's the fun part, anniversary limited release. It's a Kolsch, so it's crisp and easygoing, but you still get that nice malt flavor and gentle sweetness.
MugiWhoa, but what even is Kolsch? It sounds elegant and slightly intimidating!
Hop BroIn simple terms, light top-fermented style. It drinks smooth, not too flashy, not too heavy, so it's great for a first glass.
MugiOhh, so it's perfect summer drinking. The kind where you gulp first, then go, 'wait, that's actually super tasty!'
Hop BroAnd the lineup is made for tasting flights: Sapporo Black Label, Baird Teikoku IPA, Eagle IPA, 04-Kolsch, and Hirakata Beer Session Citra White.
MugiNo way, two IPA heavy hitters and a Kolsch in the same lineup? That's not one drink, that's a full strategy meeting!
Hop BroAnd here's the beer-nerd bit, draft and cans available. You can try it on tap, then take some home if it clicks, and even the Black Label gets fresh kegs rotated daily.
MugiThat is so good! after-work beer plan or holiday tasting run, it works either way. I'm already mentally holding a glass of 04-Kolsch!
Hop BroAnd since August 12 is closed, today is the move if you're going. Start at 3 p.m. and build the whole round around 04-Kolsch.
MugiDone, sold, finished. Kolsch first, IPA later. Now I want a drink so badly it's basically a scheduling issue!
The Beer Shop Hirakata city, a beer-focused pub at 12-3 Okahigashicho, Hirakata City, in Hirakata Sunplaza No. 3, will operate on an extra Monday opening on Aug. 10. The shop opens at 3 p.m., and it will be closed on Aug. 12, making this a convenient stop during the holiday period.
The featured pour for the day is Craftbank Brewing’s 04-Kolsh from Kyoto. The beer was made to mark the brewery’s fourth anniversary and is described as a crisp, easy-drinking Kölsch-style ale with a balanced malt sweetness and clean finish. It is available on draft, and cans are still in stock as well.
The tap list also includes a range of styles:
- Sapporo Beer, Kurolabel
- Baird Brewing (Shizuoka), Teikoku IPA
- Egret Brewery (Hyogo), Egret IPA
- Craftbank Brewing (Kyoto), 04-Kolsh
- Hirakata Beer (Osaka), Session Citra White
One tap is listed as coming soon, so the lineup may grow further. Kurolabel is being refreshed with new kegs every day, keeping the beer extra fresh. It is a practical stop for an after-work pint or for anyone looking to spend part of the holiday with a mixed draft lineup.
