Beer House Hobbit (Kawaramachi, Hirakata City, Osaka Prefecture) will be closed on Sunday, April 19 for its regular day off.

The shop is a beer pub located in a corner of the Kawaramachi shopping street, an easy walk from Hirakata-shi Station. With around 20 seats, its appeal is not that of a lively beer bar, but rather a moderately calm atmosphere that is well suited to taking your time and savoring craft beer.

Its signature draw is the draft beer delivered every day from breweries across Japan and overseas. Because the beer is served with careful attention to temperature control, it is a welcome spot for beer lovers who care about the condition of the keg. In addition, bottled beers from around the world are always available, and being able to move back and forth between draft and bottle is another part of its appeal.

It also has a strong local presence and is known as a shop that has been involved in developing "Hirakata Beer," which originated in Hirakata. As a place that has helped cultivate the local craft beer culture, it is interesting not only as a place to drink, but also as a place where you can feel the city's beer scene. On the food side, its signature "beer karaage" is also well known, making it an easy place to use for nights when you want the perfect beer companion.

Business hours are generally from 5:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. The shop will be closed on April 19, but for anyone who wants to enjoy draft craft beer and world beers in Hirakata, it remains a place worth visiting again.
