Beer House Hobbit, a beer pub in Kawaramachi, Hirakata, Osaka, introduced its draft beer and food menu for Wednesday, April 15. The post centered on dishes built around "freshly harvested vegetables," creating a lineup that pairs well with a midweek drink. Seasonal ingredients stand out in dishes such as sautéed freshly harvested new onions, deep-fried red scallions, beer fritters of eggplant and snap peas, and the day's freshly harvested vegetable salad.

There are six draft beers for the day. The lineup includes Minoh Beer's "Saruyama Shikao" and "Rockin' Osaru IPA," Beer House Hobbit x Shima Brewing's "AOSORA Refresh Lager," Onidensetsu Brewery's "Kinki Pale Ale - Mosaic Single Ver -," Rise & Win Brewing's "Kamikatsu Stout," and Hirakata Beer's "Session Citra White." In addition to local Osaka breweries, the list also includes collaboration beers and labels from Hokkaido and Tokushima, offering a wide range for tastings.

As a beer pub, Beer House Hobbit's appeal also lies in how close the food is to the beer. The menu also features beer-friendly dishes such as deep-fried stuffed lotus root and shrimp from Tokushima, lotus root and Naruto Kintoki chips from Tokushima, Tokushima kama-age shirasu pizza, and Japanese beef rump steak served salad-style. With everything from light seasonal vegetable plates to hearty meat dishes, it is a spot to keep in mind when you want to confirm the character of each draft beer alongside your meal. If you're looking for craft beer in Hirakata, this is the kind of local place worth remembering for enjoying regional labels together with seasonal snacks.
