Beer House Hobbit offers six draft beers, with limited-quantity donabe mixed rice also available
Beer House Hobbit, a beer pub in Hirakata, Osaka, has revealed its March 26 lineup. In addition to six draft beers, including the Beer House Hobbit x Shima Brewing collaboration lager, the day will feature fresh-picked vegetable salad, beer fritters with eggplant and snap peas, and a donabe mixed rice dish served at 8 p.m.
Hop BroThe six draft beers at Beer House Hobbit in Osaka's Hirakata are pretty bold. On March 26, both beer and food take center stage, and it's a dream day for anyone who loves tasting side by side.
MugiWait, six? That's a tasting heaven. And they're serving clay-pot rice too? That's way too serious for a beer pub!
Hop BroThe lineup is strong. With AOSORA Refresh Lager, Shimanami Brewery's Strike Pilsner, and Shonan Beer's Honyuzu Saison all on tap, the differences in aroma and mouthfeel should come through nicely.
MugiHold on, what's the difference between a lager and a saison? The names sound cool, but I can still only tell by appearance!
Hop BroRoughly speaking, lagers tend to have a cleaner, sharper outline, while saisons tend to show more yeast-driven aroma. So Honyuzu Saison should connect the yuzu aroma and its light, brisk character very nicely.
MugiI see, so it's beer that talks through the yeast! Then I'm also curious about Weizen and Nomcraft IPA, and I want to try the white-style Session Citra White too!
Hop BroExactly. And because it includes IPA from Wakayama all the way to Hirakata Beer from Osaka, it feels like a collaboration between local and regional brewers. The fact that the styles are lined up as lager, pilsner, saison, weizen, IPA, and white is especially strong.
MugiWow, there's already so much beer to think about, and now there's fresh-picked vegetable salad plus eggplant and snap pea beer fritters too? That's basically a champion-level lineup of snacks!
Hop BroAnd from 8 p.m., there's a limited-quantity donabe mixed rice. With burdock root and chicken thigh, it's the kind of finish that really satisfies your stomach after drinking beer.
MugiAnd the next day there's a private booking, then March 28 is scheduled for beer & curry, right? The flow of the schedule is fun too, so it feels like a place you'd want to keep coming back to.
Hop BroYeah, this is the kind of day where you follow the draft beers and finish with rice at the end. It's one of those times when both of us would say, I want to go out for drinks tonight.
MugiExactly! I want to start with AOSORA Refresh Lager and finish with the clay-pot rice. I'm curious about everything from the first glass to the final bite!
