Beer House Hobbit taps Camado Brewery’s Escape the Routine and Minoh Beer’s Kocha Bitter
Beer House Hobbit in Hirakata, Osaka, added two new kegs on June 15: Camado Brewery’s West Coast IPA Escape the Routine and Minoh Beer’s Kocha Bitter, offering a side-by-side contrast of hop bitterness and tea-driven aroma.
Hop BroBeer House Hobbit in Hirakata has a seriously good tap update for June 15. It's a two-keg opening, basically a Monday mood reset.
MugiWhat, on a Monday? Beer House Hobbit is that place you can swing by after work, right?
Hop BroExactly, the one you can walk to from Keihan Hirakata-shi Station. The headline pour is Kamado Brewery's Escape the Routine, a West Coast IPA with orange-and-pine aroma and a big, punchy bitterness.
MugiPine aroma? Wait, are we drinking a forest? And West Coast IPA sounds like it comes with sea breeze included!
Hop BroThat's the metaphor part. When brewers say hop aroma, they mean hop-driven aromatics that can feel like citrus or evergreens, with a crisp finish that snaps everything tight.
MugiOhh, so it's not just bitter, it pulls you in with aroma too. Then this Tea Bitter sounds like snack time in a pint!
Hop BroAnd that's where Minoh Beer gets fun. It's a bitter-style ale made with quality Earl Grey, so soft malt richness meets bright bergamot perfume.
MugiBergamot? Wow, we suddenly turned fancy. And what does malt richness actually feel like?
Hop BroThink grainy sweetness and a rounder body. That's why starting with the IPA and finishing with the tea bitter gives you the perfect drinking order.
MugiThat sounds amazing! If they also have fresh veggie plates and grilled domestic beef shabu, a Monday pint turns into a full-on reward.
Hop BroEven with Hansharo Beer, Matsue Beer Hearn, Shima Brewing, and Great Dane Brewing on the board, these two are the first comparison I want. This is a straight-from-work stop kind of night.
MugiDone deal! I want to sharpen up with Escape the Routine first, then unwind with the tea bitter. I'm already desperate for a pint!
