Draft lineup for July 15


The Beer Shop Hirakata city is a craft beer specialty shop on the 3rd floor of a building directly connected to Keihan Hirakata-shi Station. The shop also works as a standing-drink spot, and it carries roughly 150 to 200 cans and bottles plus four to six draft beers. In the July 15 post, items marked with a star were identified as new draft additions.

The anchor of the lineup is Sapporo Brewery’s Black Label, which the shop notes is tapped fresh at least once a day. It is the kind of beer that works well as a first pint.

The new additions include Asobi Brewery (Kyoto)’s Yosano no Aooni, Nomcraft (Wakayama)’s Wonder Mosaic, Revision Brewing (USA)’s DIPA, and Hirakata Beer (Osaka)’s Session Citra White. The list combines Japanese breweries from across the country with an American draft, giving the shop a balance of local character and breadth.

The post also mentions chicken brought back from Miyazaki in a cooled container, with service planned for around 7:00 p.m. That makes the day’s offering even more beer-friendly. With the station-connected location and a tap list that mixes familiar names with more exploratory options, it is an easy place to start with Black Label and then work through the rest of the board.
