The Beer Shop Hirakata city taps Craft Beer Base’s Lavender & Chamomile
The Beer Shop Hirakata city in Hirakata, Osaka, published its June 25 tap list and added Craft Beer Base’s “Lavender & Chamomile” to the lineup. The bar also listed Black Label, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Starwatcher, and Session Citra White.
Hop BroToday’s headline is The Beer Shop Hirakata city: on the June 25 tap list, Craft Beer Base’s Lavender & Chamomile just came on draft.
MugiWait, Lavender & Chamomile sounds like tea! Is this beer about to smell like a flower shop ambush?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. It’s a herbal craft beer with real personality, and the post says it was introduced as a previous World Beer Cup bronze winner.
MugiOkay, World Beer Cup bronze sounds impressive, but my tongue still has no idea what to expect!
Hop BroThe shop basically says just drink it first instead of explaining too much, which makes me think it’s all about layered botanical aroma.
MugiThere it is, botanical aroma! Why did this suddenly sound like beer wearing fancy perfume?
Hop BroIn plain terms, it means floral and herbal notes lift out of the glass, so it may be more about aroma than straight bitterness.
MugiNice. With Black Label, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Starwatcher, and Session Citra White on too, everyone wins a round.
Hop BroExactly. It’s on the third floor of Sun Plaza 3, right by Hirakata-shi Station, so even rainy or typhoon-ish weather won’t ruin the stop.
MugiAnd they’ve got UNO and a Super Famicom? That is after-work danger in the best possible way.
Hop BroAt that point I’m doing a full tasting route: start with Lavender & Chamomile, then drift into Pale Ale and Session Citra White.
MugiSame. Let’s make it a lavender toast first, and then pretend Starwatcher didn’t also call our names.
The Beer Shop Hirakata city is a beer pub on the third floor of Hirakata Sun Plaza 3 in central Hirakata, close to the station. In its June 25 post, the bar said it would keep operating even with rain and typhoon forecasts, then shared the day’s draft lineup.
The highlighted new pour is Craft Beer Base’s “Lavender & Chamomile,” introduced in the post as a bronze medal winner at the previous World Beer Cup. The bar describes it as a beer worth trying first, rather than over-explaining it.
The rest of the taps were listed as:
- Sapporo Beer “Black Label”
- Sierra Nevada Brewing “Pale Ale”
- West Coast Brewing “Starwatcher”
- Craft Beer Base “Lavender & Chamomile”
- Hirakata Beer “Session Citra White”
- coming soon
The post also notes that the shop has cards, UNO, and even a Super Famicom on hand, which fits the relaxed, neighborhood-bar feel. With a station-adjacent location and a broad tap range, it looks like an easy stop for a quick pint or a longer session.
