Hop BroToday's about Starwatcher on draft. The Beer Shop Hirakata city is putting a West Coast Brewing beer front and center on its 5/14 (Thu) tap list.
MugiWhat! You can drink such a serious beer even though it's directly connected to Hirakatashi Station? That's the kind of place you can just drop by after work!
Hop BroExactly. It really has the feel of a beer specialty shop. You can try a glass while standing, and since it carries not just draft but also bottles and cans, it's a great place to start a tasting comparison.
MugiBy the way, what's a West Coast IPA? Is it beer harvested on the west side of the ocean? It sounds strong just from the name!
Hop BroThe ocean has nothing to do with it. It's an IPA known for its hop-aromatic bitterness. Citrus rises first, then a crisp bitterness follows; that's the style.
MugiOh wow! And Starwatcher has tropical aromas too, right? Mango and papaya? Suddenly it feels like a trip to the tropics, and I'm hyped!
Hop BroThat's right, what's interesting is that it brings both citrus and tropical vibes. Within West Coast Brewing's sharp style, it has a lot of aromatic depth, so on draft you can really taste how it opens up.
MugiSo it's the kind of beer where draft really matters! The aroma comes in softly and the bitterness tightens things up at the end. Just imagining it makes me want to drink it!
Hop BroExactly. It's for people who want to enjoy both aroma and crispness. It should appeal not only to WCB fans but also to anyone wanting to revisit a West Coast IPA.
MugiAnd you can stop by after work too, so that's basically a win! If I start the night in Hirakata with Starwatcher as my first drink, the whole conversation for the day is going to feel happy!
Hop BroIn the end, the best way to enjoy it is just going to drink the beer you want. So tonight, let's toast at The Beer Shop Hirakata city with a Starwatcher in hand.
