Hop BroToday's The Beer Shop Hirakata city tap list for June 2 is a pretty fun one to dig into.
MugiWait, that's the station-connected spot in Hirakata where you can just swing by, right?
Hop BroExactly, and even with the typhoon getting close, they were still open as usual, which gives the place a super reliable vibe.
MugiOoh, nice! So what was actually on the draft lineup that day?
Hop BroThe fresh keg was Sapporo's Kuro Label, alongside Craftbank Brewery's Bank IPA, El Clasico, Bitter Bug, and West Coast Brewing's Starwatcher.
MugiWhat is that! Fresh keg sounds like a beer ribbon-cutting ceremony. Am I supposed to clap?
Hop BroIt just means they hooked up a new keg, so you're more likely to catch the beer at its freshest point.
MugiOkay, that helps! So Kuro Label is an easy-drinking lager, and Bank IPA is more of a hop-forward beer?
Hop BroThat's basically it. And the shop is both a bottle store and a standing bar, so it's easy to pair everything with the house-smoked snacks next door.
MugiThat is wildly unfair! A cozy wood counter, smoky snacks, and then maybe finishing with Starwatcher too?
Hop BroFrom classic lager to Kyoto IPA picks to a popular Shizuoka brewery, it's a wide-ranging lineup that really shows the shop's character.
MugiThere's no way I'd stop at one drink now. I already want a tasting run so badly!
