The Beer Shop Hirakata City taps three Baskland beers, including a 17.5% imperial stout
On its March 27 post, The Beer Shop Hirakata City (Hirakata, Osaka) introduced three beers from Baskland, a brewery in Spain's Basque Country. The lineup includes an imperial stout made with cocoa and cacao at 17.5% ABV, and the well-stocked draft selection inside the shop also stands out.
Hop BroToday's topic is the three Baskland beers from Spain's Basque Country that The Beer Shop Hirakata City in Hirakata, Osaka, introduced.
MugiWait, three Baskland beers! Getting a Spanish vibe in Hirakata is already way too much information!
Hop BroFrom left in the photo: Frisch, Kaijyu, and Omako Basoa. In particular, Omako Basoa is an imperial stout made with cocoa, cacao, coffee beans, and vanilla beans.
MugiImperial stout sounds like it could get you tipsy just from the name! What exactly is a stout anyway?
Hop BroBroadly speaking, it's a dark beer with the roasty aroma of roasted malt. When you add the word "imperial," it means a style with a higher alcohol content and a bold, full-bodied flavor.
MugiBold is one thing, but 17.5% is practically an incident! Does that even still look like beer?
Hop BroThat's why the shop recommends sharing it. Rather than taking it on alone, it seems more enjoyable to sample the aroma and the sweet-bitter character little by little with everyone.
MugiThat makes me feel better! And if the draft beer selection inside is that rich, you can start with one beer to get a feel for things before moving on to the main attraction.
Hop BroExactly. That day they had Sapporo Black Label, Hirakata Smoke Ale, Session Citra White, Frigg, and No.2 Kisaragi IPA, so it was a lineup where you could enjoy both domestic and overseas beers.
MugiWow, with that many options, following the flow of the taps is like a treasure hunt for beer lovers!
Hop BroAnd it's directly connected to Hirakata-shi Station, with hours until 12:30 a.m. on March 27. Stopping by after work and drinking one beer at a time while snacking on the birthday edition sounds pretty ideal.
MugiYeah, just imagining it makes my throat dry! With a beer I want to face slowly in hand, we end up wanting to go out for drinks ourselves!
