The Beer Shop Hirakata city puts two Coronado Brewing IPAs on early tap
The Beer Shop Hirakata city in Hirakata, Osaka, has posted a Coronado Brewing feature. As of August 20, two IPAs are already on tap, with a “Coronado Brewing special” planned for August 22 and 23.
Hop BroToday's Coronado feature preview is seriously good. At The Beer Shop Hirakata city in Osaka's Hirakata, two IPAs are already on tap as of August 20.
MugiWait, what does pre-tapped mean? So we can already drink them? Also, Coronado Brewing sounds like a tropical superhero team!
Hop BroIt means the keg is already connected and being served. The two pouring now are Aloha Warrior IPA and Big Weekend Double IPA, and both put hops front and center.
MugiWhat is that! Is double IPA twice as intense? The name alone makes the weekend sound enormous!
Hop BroBasically, it's an IPA with more malt and hops, so the aroma and body get bigger too. The hop presence really pops, but it's not just bitter, it's bright and expressive.
MugiOhhh! So you can play from light to bold. And this tap list has a great tasting progression, from Sapporo Black Label to local Hirakata Beer.
Hop BroExactly. From Sapporo Black Label to Sankt Gallen's Pineapple Ale, then Hirakata Beer's Session Citra White, and finally the two Coronado IPAs, it's a stair-step lineup.
MugiHold on, Session Citra White sounds interesting too! It sounds like a spell, but does it basically mean an easy-drinking white beer with citrus vibes?
Hop BroPretty much, yeah. And this place is linked to the neighboring Hirakata Smokehouse, so pairing beer with house-smoked food is one of its biggest strengths. Fresh smoked mixed nuts with IPA is unfairly good.
MugiThat's cheating! Now I'm torn between waiting for the big Coronado feature on August 22 and 23, or going right away for the early pours.
Hop BroIf you're torn, do both. It's right by Hirakata-shi Station in Hirakata Sun Plaza Building No. 3, so I want a weekend warm-up round before the main event.
MugiDeal! With smoked nuts in hand, I want to start with Aloha Warrior and finish strong with Big Weekend!
The Beer Shop Hirakata city is a craft beer specialty shop inside Hirakata Sun Plaza No. 3, directly connected to Keihan Hirakata City Station in Osaka. In its August 20 post, the shop announced a weekend spotlight on Coronado Brewing and noted that two IPAs were already on tap ahead of the event.\n\nThe shop also pairs beer with house-smoked food. Its connection to the adjacent smoking workshop, Hirakata Kunseijo, is part of its appeal, and snacks such as freshly smoked mixed nuts make it an easy place to settle in for a pint or two.\n\nThe tap list for Thursday, August 20 was:\n- Sapporo Brewery / Kurolabel\n- Sanktgallen Brewery (Kanagawa) / Pineapple Ale\n- Hirakata Beer (Osaka) / Session Citra White\n- Coronado Brewing (USA) / Aloha Warrior\n- Coronado Brewing (USA) / Big Weekend Double IPA\n\nThe lineup moves from a familiar mainstay in Sapporo Kurolabel to a fruity pineapple ale, a local Hirakata beer, and finally two Coronado Brewing IPAs. It is a balanced list that should appeal to drinkers who want a clear contrast in hop character and drinkability. The August 22-23 special event should give beer fans an even closer look at Coronado Brewing's range.
