The Beer Shop Hirakata City taps Suntory 'Kinmugi'; Black Label and Heartland also served
On May 3 at The Beer Shop Hirakata City in Osaka's Hirakata City, Suntory 'Kinmugi' appeared as an experimental tap pour. During Golden Week, the shop opens every day from 1:00 p.m., and it was also announced that the plan is to start with Black Label and then move on to Kirin's Heartland.
Hop BroI found something interesting in Hirakata: an experimental beer. At The Beer Shop Hirakata City, they tapped a keg of Suntory 'Kinmugi' on May 3.
MugiWhat? You're seriously pouring Kinmugi? That's a happoshu, but doing it at a beer specialty shop makes me even more curious!
Hop BroWhat's interesting is this isn't just a gimmick. It's a single-keg test. They wanted to see how the taste impression changes depending on how a beer specialty shop handles it.
MugiWhoa! But does the draft lineup really have that much variety? I'd get lost just trying to choose!
Hop BroThat day, Black Label, beers from Nami no Oto Brewing, and Kinmugi were on tap. In particular, the Belgian White uses Naruto orange, giving it a soft, fragrant aroma.
MugiWhat?! With Naruto orange? Do they put fruit in beer? This is basically a joint event with the juice world!
Hop BroYeah, Belgian whites often add citrus aroma to the gentle wheat-driven softness to make them more drinkable. In other words, it's a style that plays with aroma.
MugiI see! And they start with Black Label, then plan to move to Heartland once it's gone, right? I love that they still cover the classics!
Hop BroExactly. The strength is being able to compare a mainstream staple from a major brewer with the distinctive beers from Nami no Oto Brewing in Hyogo on the same day. It's a shop layout that makes comparing flavor profiles easy.
MugiWow, that's the best! If they're open every day during Golden Week at 1:00 p.m., you can relax and compare drinks from early afternoon. Perfect for a laid-back day in Hirakata!
Hop BroAnd apparently Nagao-san is running the shop solo that day, so the atmosphere must be pretty rich too. A place with a story from the very first drink is exactly the kind of place you want to visit.
MugiYeah, reading it made my throat start craving beer already! From Kinmugi to Heartland, now I want to drink through that flow together today!
At the beer pub The Beer Shop Hirakata City, located in the shopping complex "Hirakata Sun Plaza Building No. 3" directly connected to Hirakata City Station in Osaka, they tapped Suntory 'Kinmugi' on May 3 as an "experimental beer." The post explained that it was a test of what happens when a beer specialty shop pours a happoshu in earnest, and also noted that, because it was limited to one keg, it might be finished by the end of the day.
The draft lineup for the day was a mix of familiar labels and characterful picks.
- 1. Sapporo Beer "Black Label"
- 2. Nami no Oto Brewing "Belgian White with Naruto Orange"
- 3. Suntory "Kinmugi"
- 4. Nami no Oto Brewing "Breakfast Club"
- 5. Nami no Oto Brewing "Wakaba"
- 6. coming soon
The post also said they would start with Black Label, and once it ran out, they planned to move on to Kirin's "Heartland." By lining up a major brewer's standard label and beers from Hyogo's Nami no Oto Brewing on the same day, drinkers can more easily compare the shape of the flavor and the feel on the palate.
The Beer Shop Hirakata City is appealing not only as a place to buy beer to take home, but also as a spot to enjoy a drink on the premises. During Golden Week, it opens every day at 1:00 p.m., and on that day it was said that Nagao would be running the shop solo, so it seems like a perfect day to take a breather in Hirakata while following the flow of the draft beer.
