MugiWait, they're closed during the day and only open at night? Still, if they open at 6:00 p.m., that's the kind of place you get pulled into after work.
Hop BroAnd the main attraction is Naminooto Brewing from Hyogo. Wild Ginger, Memory Lane 2, Wakaba, and Nova are lined up in a way that makes the differences in flavor really clear.
MugiWhat is that, my brain is already full just from the names! With that many lined up, my tongue is going to start a flavor meeting.
Hop BroThat's the fun part. If you compare them, the personalities really show. The shop even recommends tasting them by the glass, and they're the kind of beers whose impression changes with temperature and how they're poured.
MugiWait, they change that much just from pouring them differently? Beer is basically a science experiment, but that sounds fun!
Hop BroExactly, and that's where the return of Black Label comes in. If you slip a classic lager in between craft beers, it resets your palate and makes the next drink taste great again.
MugiI get it, Black Label in the middle gives you a sense of relief. For a beginner like me, avoiding drink fatigue is super important!
Hop BroAnd because Breakfast Club is in there too, you get another axis in the malt aroma and hop character. That kind of lineup really shows the owner's sense.
MugiJust hearing that makes me want to go! Today, let's head to Hirakata and follow the changing taps, starting with one drink!
Tap List for April 28
The Beer Shop Hirakata City (Okahigashicho, Hirakata City, Osaka) will close during the day on Tuesday, April 28 and open from 6:00 p.m. In a post, the shop announced the return of Black Label and shared the tap lineup for a pre-GW drink.
There are six draft beers on this day. The lineup is as follows.
- Black Label / Sapporo Brewery
- Wild Ginger / Naminooto Brewing (Hyogo)
- Memory Lane 2 / Naminooto Brewing (Hyogo)
- Breakfast Club / Baird Brewing
- Wakaba / Naminooto Brewing (Hyogo)
- Nova / Naminooto Brewing (Hyogo)
The lineup is centered on draft beers from Hyogo-based Naminooto Brewing. With Wild Ginger, Memory Lane 2, Wakaba, and Nova arranged in a way that makes their differences easy to compare, the shop also notes that "they can feel different when you drink them by the glass." Rather than just following labels and specs, this is a lineup well suited to taking your time and checking out beers whose impressions change depending on how they are poured and the temperature.
The highlight of the day is the return of Black Label. By adding a standard lager between craft beers, the lineup is also designed to be less tiring to drink. In addition, the inclusion of Breakfast Club adds another angle in terms of malt aroma and hop character.
The shop is in an easily accessible spot in the Hirakata-shi Station area, and its beer-pub casualness makes it an easy place to stop by. While keeping up with the changing draft selection, there is also the fun of checking out beers you are curious about on the very same day. For beer lovers, it was a day worth visiting just to see how the taps had changed.
