Beer House Hobbit taps Shima Brewery's Karigane-cha Saison, with beef cutlet served too
Beer House Hobbit in Hirakata, Osaka, announced a new guest tap from Shima Brewery in Mie: "Karigane-cha Saison." The post also notes beef cutlet service for today and tomorrow, making it a notably food-friendly beer stop.
Hop BroI’ve got a good one today: Beer House Hobbit in Hirakata just tapped Karigane Tea Saison from Shima Brewery.
MugiWait, tea in beer? Karigane Tea Saison already sounds like something I need to try!
Hop BroYep. It’s brewed by Shima Brewery in Mie, and the image also shows SHIMA BREWERY LIMITED BREWING on it. The style is a saison.
MugiA saison? That beer style sounds like a quiz question I forgot to study for!
Hop BroSimple version: saison is light, refreshing, and great with food. It often has bright fermentation aromas, and here those sit on top of tea-like notes.
MugiOhh, so it’s not a scary beer-geek drink, it’s more of a food-friendly beer I can actually picture with a meal!
Hop BroExactly. And Beer House Hobbit focuses on domestic draft craft beer, bringing in fresh kegs from around Japan. Being near the station makes it easy to drop by too.
MugiThat’s dangerous information! And they’re serving beef cutlet too today and tomorrow? That’s not a stop-by, that’s a trap!
Hop BroA very good trap. The crisp saison character plus the lingering tea aroma should make a perfect pairing with the rich fried cutlet.
MugiNow I’m officially thirsty and hungry. I want a glass right now, and honestly, the beef cutlet should come with it!
A tea saison on tap
Beer House Hobbit, a beer pub in Kawaramachi, Hirakata, Osaka, highlighted a new guest beer from Shima Brewery in the Shima area of Mie Prefecture: "Karigane-cha Saison." The bar focuses on domestic draft craft beer and is known for receiving fresh kegs from breweries across Japan.
What the beer is like
The post describes the beer as a saison brewed with karigane-cha. The image text identifies it as a SHIMA BREWERY LIMITED BREWING release. A saison built around tea aroma suggests a crisp, easy-drinking profile with a more layered finish than a standard pale ale.
Food pairing
The same post also notes beef cutlet will be served today and tomorrow. That makes the tap lineup especially food-friendly: a savory fried cutlet alongside a clean, tea-scented saison is an easy pairing to picture.
