The Beer Shop Hirakata city taps Egret IPA in a six-beer draft lineup on August 2
The Beer Shop Hirakata city in Osaka's Hirakata City posted its draft lineup for August 2. New taps include Sapporo Brewery's Kurolabel and Egret Brewery's Egret IPA, alongside Daisen G Brewery's Weizen, Revision Brewing's DIPA, and Hirakata Beer's Session Citra White.
Hop BroToday's topic is The Beer Shop Hirakata city and its six draft taps for August 2. The new openings are Sapporo Black Label and Eagre Brewery's Eagre IPA, and that is a very tempting lineup.
MugiWait, Eagre IPA on tap sounds intense already! Does "Eagre" mean this IPA swoops in like an eagle or something?
Hop BroIt's Eagre Brewery from Himeji, and this is their flagship IPA. You get hop-driven aroma and a pleasant bitterness that feels like grapefruit peel.
MugiHold on, hop-derived aroma suddenly makes this sound like science class! So basically it means the kind of beer that makes your nose happy first?
Hop BroExactly, it's a citrus-like aroma that hits before you even sip, like a tasty trailer for the beer. And it's lower in alcohol and drinkable, meaning it goes down easily.
MugiWhat is drinkable supposed to mean! That sounds fancy, but really it means "whoops, my glass is empty already," right?
Hop BroThat is pretty close. On the other hand, Revision Brewing's American DIPA means Double IPA, so the body, alcohol, and hop punch are all much bigger even though it's still in the IPA family.
MugiNo way, and they also have Daisen G Beer's easy-drinking weizen? That range is huge. Soft wheat beer on one side, hop monsters on the other!
Hop BroAnd I like that local Hirakata Beer is there too with Session Citra White. There's even a coming soon slot, and the shop welcomes anything from one takeaway bottle to drinking on site.
MugiThat drop-in friendly vibe is too good. If I can drink first and buy after, my "just one glass" plan is absolutely in danger.
Hop BroPlus they're set to appear at Mall Night in Hirakata Mall on August 7 and 8, so Hirakata is heating up. Following their daily tap updates is half the fun.
MugiThat's it, I want a pint now. I'll start with the Eagre IPA, and you can add the DIPA and the weizen, and somehow we'll end up trying everything.
Draft lineup for August 2
The Beer Shop Hirakata city in Okahigashicho, Hirakata City, Osaka, shared its draft list for August 2. The post makes it clear that the shop welcomes many kinds of visits, including people who only buy beer, request shipping, drink on site, or drink first and take beer home afterward.
