Beer House Hobbit taps Shigakougen IPA 2.03 in Hirakata
Beer House Hobbit, a beer pub in Hirakata, Osaka, announced its August 10 draft lineup. The featured new keg is Shigakougen Brewery’s Shigakougen IPA 2.03 Center of the Universe, alongside five other draft beers and a food menu built for pairing.
Hop BroToday's topic is Osaka's Beer House Hobbit and its Shigakougen IPA tapping. On the August 10 draft list of six beers, 'Shigakougen IPA 2.03 Center of the Universe' is the headliner.
MugiWhat! Center of the Universe is such a huge name. What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt's from Shiga Kogen Beer, and the style is a crisp IPA. You get a fresh aroma, a clean dry sip, and then a firm bitter finish that sticks around in a good way.
MugiWhoa. But when people say dry finish, it sounds like the beer is going to steal all the moisture from my mouth!
Hop BroNah, it just means the sweetness drops cleanly. It doesn't cling to your palate, so you immediately want another sip. Not desert-dry, just tidy and refreshing.
MugiThat somehow made me thirsty instantly! And the limited Tochio aburaage with ginger ponzu? That sounds dangerous for my self-control.
Hop BroThat's where Beer House Hobbit knows what it's doing. It's basically built for food pairing, with dishes like pork shoulder karaage with shibazuke tartar and Japanese-style buffalo chicken wings.
MugiAnd six taps? That's a wild range. If you go from a kawachi bankan sour to a Schwarz, my stomach is going to call a strategy meeting.
Hop BroThe lineup really is fun. There's local Hirakata beer too, like Hirakata Beer's 'Session Citra White,' plus Groundtap Brewery's 'Uchiwa' and Kamado Brewery's 'Anki Lager.'
MugiIf they're open through Obon, that's basically license for a slow session. I just have to remember they're closed Sundays, and Tuesdays start at 6 p.m.
Hop BroExactly. On a day like this, you want to settle in with draft beer. Start with Shigakougen IPA 2.03, then let the food widen the whole experience.
MugiI'm sold. I want a pint now, and I fully plan to bite into aburaage and yell, 'So this is the center of the universe!'
