Beer House Hobbit taps Sanktgallen's Cho Shonan Gold and lines up six drafts
Beer House Hobbit, a beer pub in Hirakata, Osaka, tapped Sanktgallen's Cho Shonan Gold on July 19. The post also highlighted a six-beer draft lineup spanning Nomcraft, Be Easy, COEDO, Groundtap, and more, with food options to match.
Hop BroHere’s today’s topic: Beer House Hobbit in Hirakata just tapped Cho Shonan Gold. On July 19 they open from 5 p.m., with six draft beers lined up.
MugiWhat! Beer House Hobbit already sounds like an adventure. And what makes Cho Shonan Gold “super” compared to regular Shonan Gold?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. Sankt Gallen uses double the Shonan Gold fruit, so this rare citrus comes through with a much deeper orange-like character.
MugiNo way! Rich orange character makes it sound like summer in a glass. Is it an easy chugger, or more of a slow-sip aroma beer?
Hop BroA bit of both, but this one is really about full-bodied fruitiness. The citrus aroma pops first, then the flavor keeps that presence all the way through.
MugiHold on, the aroma pops? That sounds way too cool. It pops where, exactly? Out of the glass and into my face?
Hop BroBasically, it means the aroma spreads fast. You bring the glass close and the citrus hits before the first sip, which is exactly the point.
MugiNice! And six drafts is stacked. Nomcraft Lager covers the crisp side, and then you’ve got COEDO Marihana and Groundtap AMANATSU pulling me in too.
Hop BroThe lineup really works. There’s Be Easy’s Daijina Keyag and Nomcraft’s Spruce Moose too, so you get a broad tasting range from light lager to citrus-heavy specials.
MugiAnd the food sounds serious: roast beef, clay-pot rice, roasted seasonal vegetables. Drink with real food is exactly my kind of plan.
Hop BroThat’s why places like this matter. You get rotating guest taps and proper pairings in one stop. Today it has to be citrus beer and roast beef.
MugiAgreed! I’m starting with Cho Shonan Gold, then I want Marihana too. I want a toast now so somebody bring the glasses already!
Beer House Hobbit, a beer pub in Hirakata, Osaka, updated its draft lineup on July 19 and tapped Sanktgallen's Cho Shonan Gold. The post also noted that, although Sundays are usually a regular day off, the bar would open from 5 p.m. that day and take a compensatory day off the following day.
Cho Shonan Gold is described as a power-up version of Sanktgallen's seasonal Shonan Gold. It uses twice the usual amount of the rare citrus fruit Shonan Gold, resulting in a beer with a dense orange-like aroma and a distinctly juicy profile. For drinkers looking for a fruit-forward seasonal, it stands out as the day's headline pour.
The full draft list offered a broad range of styles:
- Nomcraft Lager / Nomcraft Brewing (Wakayama)
- Daiji na Keyagu / Be Easy Brewing (Aomori)
- Marihana / COEDO Brewery (Saitama)
- Cho Shonan Gold / Sanktgallen
- AMANATSU / Groundtap Brewery (Ehime)
- Spruce Moose / Nomcraft Brewing (Wakayama)
Food was also part of the appeal, with plates such as fresh vegetables and roast beef, clay-pot rice, and oven-roasted seasonal vegetables mentioned in the post. Beer House Hobbit reads as a spot where guests can follow rotating draft beers while pairing them with a proper meal.
