Hop BroToday’s topic is Beer House Hobbit in Hirakata, where Ushitora Brewery just tapped Ashura Triple IPA.
MugiWhoa! That name sounds intense. Is a Triple IPA like three times scarier than a regular IPA?
Hop BroNot scarier, just bigger. It’s a 10% ABV pour, but it’s presented as both full-bodied and surprisingly easy to drink.
MugiEasy to drink at 10%? That’s dangerously kind. I’d be toasting streetlights on the way home.
Hop BroAnd the aroma has resin and tropical notes, so you get that tropical-fruit impression with a firm hop edge.
MugiWhat is that! Does resin note mean we’re shopping for glue now?!
Hop BroThat one gets misunderstood a lot. In beer talk it means piney, deep hop character, so in plain words it’s tropical and bitter in a good way.
MugiOkay, that makes sense! And if IPA fans specifically requested it, this is basically the ace called from the bullpen!
Hop BroThe lineup that day is broad too: Taiyo no Lager, Session Citra White, Octopus King, Tomato Ale, and Kyushu Craft Kabosu. Total comparison-flight heaven.
MugiTomato ale to kabosu beer too? Add the clay-pot rice, tempura, and fried pork shoulder and my stomach has plans already!
Hop BroPlus they’ve got a 17th anniversary festival coming on September 12 and 13, and advance tickets are already on sale.
MugiThen it’s settled: Beer House Hobbit for Ashura Triple IPA, and the anniversary fest after that. I’m officially in a beer-tonight mood!
Today's taps
Beer House Hobbit, a beer pub in Hirakata, Osaka, announced the opening of Ushitora Brewery's Asura Triple IPA on August 27. The beer is 10% ABV and is described as a triple IPA that balances drinkability with weight. The post highlights tropical-fruit-like aroma and firm bitterness, and notes that the beer was requested by IPA fans.
The lineup
The day's draft list also included Miyazaki Hideji Brewery's Taiyo no Lager, Hirakata Beer's Session Citra White, Nomcraft Brewing's Octopus King, Iwategura Brewery's Tomato Ale, and Miyazaki Hideji Brewery's Kyushu Craft Kabosu.
The board moves from a crisp lager into hop-forward and fruit-accented beers, ending with a more unusual tomato ale. Beer House Hobbit pairs that selection with food such as clay-pot rice, vegetable tempura, and fried pork shoulder, making it a place where beer can be enjoyed with a proper meal. The shop also said its 17th anniversary festival will be held on September 12 and 13, with advance tickets already on sale.
