The Beer Shop Hirakata city posts Aug. 16 draft lineup with Kurolabel, Teikoku IPA, and more
The Beer Shop Hirakata city in Hirakata, Osaka, shared its draft lineup for Sunday, August 16. The list includes Sapporo Brewery’s Kurolabel, Baird Brewing’s Teikoku IPA, and Verhaeghe’s Duchesse de Bourgogne.
Hop BroThe Obon 2026 finale tap list from The Beer Shop Hirakata city is a fun one. On August 16, from 1 to 8 p.m., it lines up classics and oddballs really neatly.
MugiWhat, a last holiday pint gets a lineup like that? Kuro Label, an IPA, and a Belgian beer on the same day feels almost unfair!
Hop BroThat range is the charm. Sapporo's Kuro Label, Baird Brewing's Teikoku IPA, and Verhaeghe's Duchesse de Bourgogne give it a serious style spread that really fits the shop.
MugiHold on, Duchesse de Bourgogne already sounds intense! Is that a beer or a queen giving me side-eye from Belgium?
Hop BroIt's a Belgian classic with a red-wine-like tang and deep malt character. That kind of Belgian layered depth gives the whole tap list a bit of drama.
MugiWhoa! But wait, what even is 04-Kolsh? That name sounds like a spell I shouldn't say out loud.
Hop BroNot a spell. Kolsh is basically a light, crisp, easygoing style, so Craftbank Brewery's version is best filed under dangerously crushable beer.
MugiThen what about Hirakata Beer and Session Citra White? That name has three different personalities fighting for attention!
Hop BroSession means lighter body, Citra points to citrusy hops, and White brings a soft wheat character. Put together, it's a local bright aromatic pint that works perfectly mid-flight.
MugiOkay, so you start safe with Kuro Label, go adventurous with Teikoku IPA and Duchesse, then land back local at the end. That's a perfect tasting route and I respect it.
Hop BroAnd Kuro Label is being served with the kegs managed by arrival date, which tells you turnover is healthy. For a station-side stop, that mix of staples and wildcards is pretty strong.
MugiMy throat made a noise just hearing that. By the end of Obon at The Beer Shop Hirakata city, I'd be ready to order that first pour immediately.
On Sunday, August 16, The Beer Shop Hirakata city operated from 13:00 to 20:00 and presented the final draft lineup of its “Obon 2026” series. As a beer pub near Hirakata City Station, it offered a mix of everyday staples and imported classics that are easy to choose from depending on your mood.
The lineup featured Sapporo Brewery’s `Kurolabel`. The post notes that Kurolabel is rotated daily, with one to two fresh kegs opened each day and served in date order. The rest of the taps included Baird Brewing’s `Teikoku IPA`, Verhaeghe’s `Duchesse de Bourgogne`, Craftbank Brewery’s `04-Kolsh`, and Hirakata Beer’s `Session Citra White`.
From a standard lager to a hop-forward IPA, a Belgian classic, a crisp Kölsch, and a local Hirakata beer, the range makes it easy to build a first pint or a tasting session. For a station-adjacent stop at the end of Obon, this was a well-balanced board.
