The Beer Shop Hirakata city adds three Minoh Beer specials for June 7
The Beer Shop Hirakata city in Hirakata announced its June 7 tap lineup on Instagram, led by three limited Minoh Beer releases alongside Black Label, guest beers from Japan and the US, and one soon-to-come slot.
Hop BroToday, The Beer Shop Hirakata city is rolling out six taps on June 7. On top of that, they've got three limited Minoh Beer pours lined up.
MugiWhat! Three limited beers at once? That's basically a festival! What did they bring?
Hop BroFirst up is Minoh Beer's Grapefruit Sour. It's a sour ale with grapefruit, bright aroma, a little peel-like bitterness, and acidity that lingers nicely.
MugiSo a sour ale is just... sour beer? My face puckered up just hearing that!
Hop BroA sour ale style is made for intentional tartness, not a spoiled flavor. Think crisp citrus snap, not some punishment drink.
MugiOkay then! What about Rockin' O-saru IPA? The name already sounds loud, so is the flavor total chaos too?
Hop BroIt's more like a satisfying IPA. Good body, good hop presence, and apparently an easy-to-order price, so it really hits that sweet spot.
MugiAnd then there's Hoppy Weizen? A weizen that's hoppy? That's too many plot twists for one tap list!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. You get banana and citrus together, with soft weizen yeast character layered over bright hop aroma.
MugiHold on, weizen yeast? Why does every beer talk with you suddenly turn into chemistry class?
Hop BroIn simple terms, it's the yeast that gives wheat beer that signature aroma. And since it's brewed a lot like the house Session Citra White, the side-by-side tasting should be great. Add Black Label, Codebreaker, El Clasico, Bitter Bug, and one coming-soon slot, and Sunday's 1 p.m. opening looks dangerous.
MugiWith that lineup, choosing the first pint might take me longer than drinking it. I want to start with the three Minoh beers and compare the whole set!
In an Instagram post dated June 6, The Beer Shop Hirakata city shared its June 7 Sunday lineup. The beer pub is located in Okahigashi-cho, Hirakata, and will open at 13:00 on Sunday.
The main highlight is a three-beer drop from Minoh Beer:
- Gurefuru Sour: a grapefruit sour ale with a bright aroma, a lightly pithy bitterness, and a long acidic finish.
- Rockin Osaru IPA: a recurring IPA that is described as full-flavored, satisfying, and especially approachable in price.
- Hoppy Weizen: a hop-heavy wheat beer that blends banana-like weizen character with citrus from hops. The shop notes that it is similar in construction to its own Session Citra White, making a side-by-side tasting appealing.
The day’s draft list also includes Black Label, Codebreaker, El Clasico, Bitter Bug, and Session Citra White, plus one slot marked coming soon. The mix of a local beer pub staple, imported and domestic guest beers, and the Minoh specials gives the lineup broad range without feeling crowded.
For beer drinkers in Hirakata, The Beer Shop Hirakata city offers a practical stop: a neighborhood pub setting, a rotating tap list, and enough variety to compare styles without leaving the city center. On June 7, the three Minoh beers are the clearest reason to stop in.
