The Beer Shop Hirakata city lines up five draft beers for Tanabata on July 7
The Beer Shop Hirakata city in Hirakata, Osaka, posted its July 7 schedule and draft list for Tanabata night. The shop will open from 6:00 pm after closing at lunch, with Sapporo Black Label, Yosano no Aooni, and Hirakata Beer Session Citra White among the beers on tap.
Hop BroI’ve got a Hirakata story for you today, and this Tanabata tap list is seriously strong.
MugiWhat, beer for Tanabata? And a 6 p.m. opening too? That is absolutely targeting the after-work crowd!
Hop BroThey’re skipping lunch service and going night-only, and the draft lineup makes it worth it. You can ease in with Sapporo Black Label first.
MugiStarting with Black Label feels safe and friendly! But then there’s Yosano no Aooni, and that name suddenly sounds like a boss battle!
Hop BroThat one’s from Kyoto’s Asobi Beer, and Craft Beer Base is also pouring Old School IPA plus Lavender & Chamomile.
MugiLavender and chamomile? That’s a tea party in disguise! Also, what is IPA? It sounds like a spell!
Hop BroIPA is a style built around hop aroma and bitterness, so the simple version is fragrant bitter goodness in a glass.
MugiOkay... then Hirakata Beer’s Session Citra White is another spell, right? Is this going to be on the exam?
Hop BroIt’s easier when you break it apart. Session means lighter and easier to drink, Citra gives citrusy hop notes, and White leans toward a soft white-beer feel.
MugiOhhh! So you could do Black Label first, then Aooni, then Session Citra White as a full tasting flight route!
Hop BroAnd The Beer Shop Hirakata city works as both a beer shop and a standing pub, so takeaway cans too are part of the appeal. That final coming soon teaser is sneaky-good.
MugiThere’s even a hint of an extra keg? That’s basically a Tanabata plot twist. Forget wishing on paper, I want a glass!
Hop BroA night that runs from lager to IPA to floral-herbal pours and local white-style beer makes me want to chase even the same-day extra tap.
MugiThat’s it, my throat is officially in festival mode. I want to go drink those Tanabata draft pours right now!
