Hop BroToday’s topic is The Beer Shop Hirakata city, where CRAFT BEER BASE’s 'Mix Juicy' was newly tapped on June 17.
MugiWait, Mix Juicy sounds like something from a retro cafe menu. How is that a beer and somehow breakfast-coded too?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. It’s a Hazy IPA inspired by Osaka’s famous mixed juice, with fruity aroma, no cloying sweetness, and pretty gentle bitterness.
MugiWhat is that! Hazy IPA suddenly sounds like a craft beer spell. So what does it actually mean?
Hop BroIn simple terms, it’s a slightly cloudy juicy-style IPA where the hop aroma comes forward and the mouthfeel feels softer.
MugiOooh, if the bitterness stays low, even I can handle it. The name sounds sweet, but it’s still properly beer.
Hop BroAnd the tap list that day is stacked. Alongside the regular Sapporo Black Label, they’ve got Trademark Brewing’s 'Codebreaker' and Craftbank Brewery’s 'El Clasico' and 'Bank Lager.'
MugiThat lineup is dangerous! If Session Citra White is there too, both lager fans and IPA fans are going to freeze in front of the taps.
Hop BroExactly. With Hirakata Beer adding local flavor, it’s the kind of great tasting-flight day where you can move from easy-drinking pours to aroma-heavy ones.
MugiI’m done for. My brain is already headed to Hirakata. Let’s start with 'Mix Juicy' and hold a tap-front strategy meeting for what comes next.
Hop BroThat’s the move. A playful Osaka-inspired fruity first pint to kick things off, then we work through the rest of the taps.
MugiAgreed. I want that pour now, and the idea of walking in for mixed-juice vibes and falling into a craft beer rabbit hole is just too good.
At The Beer Shop Hirakata city, a beer pub at Hirakata Sun Plaza No. 3, room 306 in Okahigashi-cho, Hirakata, Osaka, a new draft beer joined the lineup on June 17. The fresh pour is Mix Juicy from CRAFT BEER BASE (Osaka). Inspired by Osaka’s classic mixed juice drink, the Hazy IPA is described as having a fruity hop character without being cloyingly sweet. It is also noted as having very little bitterness, making it an approachable, juice-forward IPA.
The same day’s tap list also included Sapporo Brewery’s Black Label, Trademark Brewing (USA) Codebreaker, Craftbank Brewery (Kyoto) El Clasico and Bank Lager, plus Hirakata Beer (Osaka) Session Citra White. That mix of a standard lager, a hop-driven IPA, and locally relevant craft options gives the bar a lineup that is easy to browse depending on mood.

When a low-bitterness, fruit-forward IPA like Mix Juicy sits alongside a classic lager and several other tap options, it becomes a good stop for drinkers who want both familiar choices and something new in the glass.
