Beer House Hobbit taps Be Easy Brewing "Daijina Keyagu" and Ise Kadoya Beer "Honkaku IPA"
Beer House Hobbit, a beer pub in Hirakata, Osaka, announced two new draft beers in a July 13 post. The lineup features Be Easy Brewing "Daijina Keyagu" and Ise Kadoya Beer "Honkaku IPA," both centered on malt character.
Hop BroToday’s story is from Beer House Hobbit in Hirakata, Osaka. They just tapped two draft beers built around rich malt character.
MugiWait, so malt-forward IPA is the theme? I always think IPA means the hops are yelling first!
Hop BroOne of them is Be Easy Brewing’s “Daiji na Keyagu”. It’s a Red IPA with a solid malt base, plus orange-marmalade fruitiness and a spicy edge.
MugiWhoa, but what does malt body even mean? That phrase makes it sound like the beer started lifting weights!
Hop BroIt sounds technical, but think of malty bread-like richness spreading softly across your mouth. In a Red IPA, that layer feels deeper, and the flavor opens up as you sip slowly.
Hop BroThe other one is Isekadoya Beer’s “Honkaku IPA”, a classic American IPA brewed for their 25th anniversary. It has deep malt richness balanced with a clean, pleasant bitterness.
MugiWhat is that! 25th anniversary already makes it sound trustworthy, and if the finish is crisp, I could keep drinking that fast.
Hop BroExactly. When you compare them, you get two angles on malt. “Daiji na Keyagu” shows complexity, while “Honkaku IPA” is easier to keep drinking.
MugiAnd they’re serving clay-pot rice, tempura, and grilled edamame too? That’s pairing heaven. My stomach has already checked in before I have.
Hop BroThat’s the charm of the place. Beer House Hobbit sounds like the kind of pub where you can settle in, and they’ve even got their next Oshi Night event coming on July 23.
MugiThat kind of spot in Hirakata is the dream... I want a first sip of Honkaku IPA for the crisp finish, then slow down with “Daiji na Keyagu.”
Hop BroThat order makes sense. Just reading this lineup makes me want a pint right now.
Beer House Hobbit, a beer pub in Kawaramachi, Hirakata City, Osaka, highlighted two new draft beers in a July 13 post. The announcement centered on malt-driven flavors and positioned the pair as a good match for drinkers who want to compare different expressions of body, sweetness, and finish.
The two draft beers
- Be Easy Brewing "Daijina Keyagu": A red IPA with a strong malt profile. The post describes it with orange-marmalade-like fruitiness and a spicy edge, making it the kind of beer that reveals more the longer you spend with it.
- Ise Kadoya Beer "Honkaku IPA": A classic American IPA brewed to mark the brewery's 25th anniversary. It is described as offering deep malt richness, a pleasant bitterness, and a clean, quick finish.
The two beers approach malt from different angles. "Daijina Keyagu" leans into the layered character of a red IPA, while "Honkaku IPA" emphasizes balance and drinkability in a classic American IPA frame. Together, they make a straightforward tasting set for anyone interested in how malt can shape hop-forward beers.
The post also listed food options such as clay-pot rice, assorted seasonal vegetable tempura, and grilled edamame, suggesting a bar that works well as both a drinking stop and a meal spot. For beer fans in the Hirakata area, it is an easy place to drop in for fresh draft pours. The post also noted that the next "Oshi Night" event is scheduled for July 23.
