Hop BroThis time, The Beer Shop Hirakata city, right by Hirakata-shi Station, has received three CIVIC BREWERS beers again!
MugiOh, that brewery is from Katano, right? If it’s connected to the station, even I won’t get lost!
Hop BroFirst up is Katano Green. It’s a fresh-hop beer made with homegrown hops added within four hours of harvest.
MugiWithin four hours?! Do hops need to be rushed around? They sound like hops where freshness matters, just like vegetables!
Hop BroExactly. Newly picked hops bring vivid green, juicy aromas—those are the distinctive fresh-hop nuances you don’t get from dried hops.
MugiWow! Then Beppin Sake Lees Ale sounds like it might give me a beautiful-girl glow just from the name!
Hop BroI can’t promise skincare results! But it uses sake lees from the sake Hyakuten Manten, giving it a gorgeous ginjo aroma.
MugiWhat’s a ginjo aroma? Is it that softly sweet, fragrant scent you get from sake? It’s beer meets sake!
Hop BroThat’s it. Take Five Lager also uses Katano-grown sake rice plus hops from Katano and Hotani—an all-local lager that drinks beautifully.
MugiI want to compare the fresh-hop beer, sake-lees ale, and sake-rice lager! On September 24, from 6 to 11 p.m., let’s toast in Hirakata tonight, Hop Bro!
