Beer House Hobbit, a beer pub in Hirakata, Osaka, posted its tap list for August 14. The lineup centers on Shiga Kogen Brewery's So no Jyu, joined by other Shiga Kogen beers plus local pours from Hirakata Beer and R_Brewery.
Hop BroBeer House Hobbit in Hirakata is pouring Shiga Kogen Beer Sono Ju today. The August 14 draft lineup is seriously stacked.
MugiWhat! Beer House Hobbit already sounds like a fantasy tavern! And Sono Ju sounds like some secret finishing move!
Hop BroThat headliner is a good one. It's a sake-rice Imperial IPA with a clean drinkability, bright hop aroma, firm bitterness, and a solid 7.5% kick.
MugiHold on, Imperial IPA means what exactly? That title is so intense I can practically see it wearing a cape!
Hop BroBasically, it's bigger than a regular IPA. More aroma, more bitterness, more body, and the sake rice keeps the finish crisp instead of heavy.
MugiOhhh, so that sake-rice snap means it finishes sharp? That's like beer and sake shaking hands!
Hop BroExactly. And they also have Shinshu Heion and IPA2.03 on the same day, so you can compare multiple Shiga Kogen beers side by side.
MugiNo way, it's a full Shiga Kogen tap row! IPA fans are cheering while their wallets quietly file a complaint!
Hop BroThey also bring in Hirakata Beer Session Citra White plus R_Brewery's Schwarz. It covers everything from hop-forward to dark beer.
MugiSchwarz? So that's a dark lager style? The name sounds like a final boss, but it still made the tasting roster!
Hop BroI also like that Beer House Hobbit calls itself a place to come talk. They're open as usual during Obon, and that vibe already makes me want a first glass.
MugiThen it's settled! I want to start with Sono Ju and finish on Schwarz while we pretend this is very serious research!
