Beer House Hobbit taps Shiga Kogen’s Yuruburu spelt with spicy keema curry
Beer House Hobbit, a beer pub in Hirakata, Osaka, highlighted Shiga Kogen Beer’s “Yuruburu spelt” on July 4 and paired it with spicy keema curry. The tap list also included beers from Groundtap, Shimanami, Hirakata Beer, Nami no Oto Brewing, and Tall Boys Brewing.
Hop BroAt Beer House Hobbit today, Yuru Blue spelt is on tap, and that alone has my attention. Pairing Shiga Kogen Beer’s Hazy IPA with spicy keema curry in Hirakata is a seriously strong setup.
MugiWhat! Curry and Hazy IPA actually work together? I’d expect the beer to lose against the spice, but it makes the sweetness and bitterness stand out more?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part, spelt is an ancient wheat. Shiga Kogen Beer grows it themselves, so the beer gets a soft mouthfeel with a really clean grain character.
MugiWow, but ancient wheat character sounds like you suddenly became a poet! In normal-person language, does that mean soft, gentle, and a little toasty?
Hop BroExactly, and it’s a hazy style IPA, so there’s juicy texture too. The fruity sweetness and moderate bitterness catch the keema spices and wash the finish clean.
MugiNo way, spicy keema curry gets to be the star and the beer still holds its ground? If tandoori-style karaage joins the table, my stomach is giving a standing ovation.
Hop BroAnd today’s lineup is fun because six beers on draft gives you range. There’s Misen from Groundtap Brewery, Float Lager from Shimanami Brewery, Session Citra White from Hirakata Beer, Weekenders from Nami no Oto, and Street Missile Imperial Lime Gose from Tall Boys.
MugiHold on, what is lime gose supposed to be? The name alone sounds tart, intense, and like it should come with boss-battle music.
Hop BroGose is a salty, acidic style, so it becomes a food-pairing paradise really easily. Beer House Hobbit goes from beer fritters and steak to frozen mango pudding, which makes tasting across the taps way too tempting.
MugiWow, the food range is kind of amazing. It really sounds like a beer pub that works whether you want a quick snack or a full meal.
Hop BroThat’s exactly it, today feels like a Hirakata drinking day. I’d start with Yuru Blue spelt, check that soft wheat feel and fruity lift, then go straight after the keema.
MugiThen it’s settled, one bite one sip forever. One bite of curry, one sip of Yuru Blue spelt, and a few detours into the other taps. I want a glass right now!
