Three Sankt Gallen beers arrive at The Beer Shop Hirakata city
The Beer Shop Hirakata city, a beer pub in Hirakata, Osaka, announced three new Sankt Gallen beers: Whey Sour Ale Strawberry, Shonan Gold, and Pineapple Ale. The same post also listed the day’s tap lineup, led by Sapporo Black Label and several Japanese craft beers.
Hop BroToday's headline is three Sankt Gallen arrivals. The Beer Shop Hirakata city, right by Hirakata-shi Station, just got a full set of summer-ready standouts.
MugiWhat! That's a three-beer dream team! They already sound delicious just from the names.
Hop BroFirst up is Whey Sour Ale Strawberry. It uses whey from cheesemaking plus strawberries for a bright, tangy fruit sour ale.
MugiHold on, what even is whey? That sounds like a yogurt side character!
Hop BroIn simple terms, it's liquid from cheesemaking. It adds a soft milky touch and rounds out the sourness, which works really well with strawberry.
MugiOhhh! Then tell me about that Shonan Gold one. It sounds like it already won the refreshing category!
Hop BroPretty much, because it's a citrus from Kanagawa fruit ale. The sweetness stays in check, then you get gentle bitterness and an orange-like finish.
MugiAnd then there's Pineapple Ale! The name screams tropical juice, so does it actually show up dressed like a beer?
Hop BroIt does, and that's the fun part: an IPA-based summer release with big aroma and zero sweetness. The same day's draft lineup also had Black Label, fresh-squeezed Nichinan Lemon Session Hazy IPA, Wonder Mosaic, and Hirakata Beer's Session Citra White, so now I want the full tasting flight.
MugiWow, draft and bottles together is such a power move! If I can drink in or take some home, we're absolutely doing a side-by-side tasting today.
In its July 22 post, The Beer Shop Hirakata city highlighted three new Sankt Gallen arrivals.
- Whey Sour Ale Strawberry: a fruit sour ale made with whey, a byproduct from cheese production, and strawberry.
- Shonan Gold: a fruit ale brewed with the Kanagawa citrus of the same name, with crisp bitterness and an orange-like finish.
- Pineapple Ale: a summer seasonal built on an IPA base, with strong pineapple aroma and no added sweetness.
The post also showed the day’s tap list: Sapporo Black Label, Miyazaki Hideji Brewery’s Nichinan Lemon Fresh-Pressed Session Hazy IPA, Nomcraft’s Wonder Mosaic, Revision Brewing’s DIPA, and Hirakata Beer’s Session Citra White. The lineup makes the shop’s mix of guest beers and house favorites easy to follow.
Located right by Hirakata-shi Station, The Beer Shop Hirakata city works as both a beer-focused bottle shop and a standing bar. That makes it a practical stop for trying fresh guest beers on tap while also picking up cans or bottles to take home.
