Hop BroBeer House Hobbit in Osaka's Hirakata City has a really solid Tuesday tap lineup for March 31.
MugiWhat! They're going that hard even on a Tuesday? A taco service night is already a win!
Hop BroExactly. They have two Shiga Kogen Beer labels on, and it's a lineup any IPA fan would love.
MugiI hear IPA all the time, but what's actually different about it? Is the hop aroma really that strong?
Hop BroPut simply, IPA puts the spotlight on hop-derived bitterness and citrusy aroma. Here, with Shiga Kogen Beer's IPA and SNOW MONKEY IPA, the fun is in comparing two beers from the same family.
MugiThat is so cool! Being able to compare two IPAs is the best. A tasting lineup like that feels like beer training, and that's fun!
Hop BroOn top of that, there is AOSORA Refresh Lager and Minami Shinshu Beer's Cask Red, so you can follow both crispness and malt character.
MugiWait, what is cask!? That suddenly sounds super advanced! Malt character makes it sound delicious right away!
Hop BroCask is a serving style that tends to bring out a softer mouthfeel, making the sweetness and toastiness of the malt easier to notice. Add Nomcraft IPA and Hirakata Beer's Session Citra White, and the aroma profile gets really interesting.
MugiOh wow! And tacos with spicy meat plus sweet potato chips? That's almost unfair!
Hop BroA night where you keep drinking beer while pairing it with a la carte dishes is just pure happiness.
MugiThis lineup is too good for Hirakata! I want to go right now and drink on Tuesday taco night!
March 31 Tap List
Beer House Hobbit (Kawaramachi, Hirakata City, Osaka Prefecture) announced on its March 31 (Tuesday) post a draft lineup to enjoy alongside "tacos." In true beer-pub fashion, the selection spans a wide range, from hop-forward IPAs to light-drinking lagers and maltier red styles.
The Six Taps for the Day
- Shiga Kogen Beer / IPA
- Beer House Hobbit x Shima Brewery / AOSORA Refresh Lager
- Shiga Kogen Beer / SNOW MONKEY IPA
- Minami Shinshu Beer / Cask Red
- Nomcraft Brewing / Nomcraft IPA
- Hirakata Beer / Session Citra White
What stands out in particular are the two Shiga Kogen Beer offerings. Along with the standard IPA, SNOW MONKEY IPA is on the list, making it easy to compare beers centered on hop-driven aroma and bitterness. The presence of Beer House Hobbit x Shima Brewery's AOSORA Refresh Lager and Minami Shinshu Beer's Cask Red also makes it interesting for anyone wanting to trace both crispness and depth over the course of the night. With Nomcraft IPA and Hirakata Beer's Session Citra White added as well, the lineup gives the impression of a set built around aromatic beers.
Food is led by tacos, with a combination of two kinds of slaw and spicy meat on offer, along with sweet potato chips, new potato butter, eggplant and salsiccia gratin, beef sirloin steak, and Japanese beef rump steak. It sounds like it will be a night where you can keep drinking beer while pairing it with tacos and other a la carte dishes.
