The Beer Shop Hirakata city lists Kurolabel and four more taps, with Coronado Brewing featured next
The Beer Shop Hirakata city in Hirakata, Osaka, shared its August 14 tap lineup. Kurolabel, Teikoku IPA, Duchesse de Bourgogne, 04-Kolsh, and Session Citra White are on offer, and a Coronado Brewing feature is planned for August 22-23.
Hop BroToday’s tap list at The Beer Shop Hirakata city in Osaka is seriously fun. It swings from Sapporo Black Label to a tart Belgian one.
MugiWait, Black Label on tap too? A craft beer bar making that a headliner somehow makes me want it even more!
Hop BroThat’s the smart part. They’re opening at least one keg daily, so it stays fresh and drinks exactly how it should.
MugiOhh! So it works for a solo post-work pint, but also for a group night where you can compare different pours together!
Hop BroExactly. The lineup is broad too: Baird’s Teikoku IPA, Verhaeghe’s Duchesse de Bourgogne, Craftbank’s 04-Kolsh, and Hirakata Beer’s Session Citra White.
MugiHold on, what is a Belgian sour? The name alone already made my mouth pucker!
Hop BroPerfect reaction. In simple terms, it’s a sweet-tart red wine vibe in beer form, and Duchesse de Bourgogne also has barrel depth that makes it feel almost dessert-like.
MugiBeer that tastes like red wine!? And 04-Kolsh too, what even is Kolsch? Please tell me that’s a style and not a spell.
Hop BroA style, not a spell. It’s a German classic with a light and delicate profile, brewed like an ale but super crisp to drink.
MugiI love this route already: relax with Black Label, charge into IPA, get shocked by the sour, then finish with local Hirakata. That sounds like a great night.
Hop BroAnd on August 22 to 23 they’ve got a Coronado Brewing feature coming up too, with an importer visit and merch to celebrate the brand’s return to Japan.
MugiThat’s too strong a combo: everyday pints and event tasting in one place. Right now I want a glass immediately, and I also want those August 22 and 23 plans locked in.
The Beer Shop Hirakata city, a beer pub in Hirakata, Osaka, posted its service update for August 14. The shop says it continues to draw customers who come specifically for Kurolabel during the Obon period, alongside the usual after-work pint crowd.
Tap lineup for the day
- Kurolabel / Sapporo Brewery
- Teikoku IPA / Baird Brewing (Shizuoka)
- Duchesse de Bourgogne / Verhaeghe (Belgium)
- 04-Kolsh / Craftbank Brewery (Kyoto)
- Session Citra White / Hirakata Beer (Osaka)
- One slot is listed as `coming soon.`
Kurolabel is opened fresh every day, with at least one keg tapped daily. That gives the lineup a reliable anchor, while the rest of the board spans IPA, Belgian sour, kolsch, and a local Hirakata beer. It is the kind of place where drinkers can move from familiar lagers to more characterful imports and regional craft in one visit.
The shop also announced its next in-store event: a Coronado Brewing feature on August 22-23. The event will mark the brewery's return to Japan, with an importer on site and merchandise prepared as well. For beer fans, it should be a good chance to drink, compare, and learn at the same time.
