The Beer Shop Hirakata city adds two Himitsu Beer arrivals: Suika IPA and Lemon Hack
The craft beer shop near Hirakata-shi Station announced two new Himitsu Beer arrivals on July 18: Suika IPA and Lemon Hack. The post also listed the day’s draft lineup, ranging from Kurolabel to Session Citra White.
Hop BroBig summer drop today: The Beer Shop Hirakata city just brought in two fresh Himitsu Beer releases right by Hirakata Station.
MugiWait, Suika IPA and Lemon Hack? Those names alone feel like jumping headfirst into a cooler!
Hop BroSuika IPA opens with bright hop aroma and bitterness, then rolls into juicy watermelon sweetness, so it drinks like peak summer in IPA form.
MugiOkay, but lemon peel only? No fruit juice? What kind of sorcery is that?
Hop BroRight, peel means the skin. Using aromatic citrus oils from the peel lets them keep the lemon character fresh without piling on sharp acidity.
MugiWhat, so it's like hiding the aroma in there on purpose? That's classy and a little unfair, now I need to chase the scent!
Hop BroAnd the draft list is stacked too: Black Label, Yosano no Aooni, Wonder Mosaic, Revision's DIPA, and Hirakata Beer’s Session Citra White.
MugiHold on, DIPA and session sound like the beer menu turned into spell casting. Is my palate qualified for this?
Hop BroTotally. DIPA usually means bigger hops and higher ABV, while session means lighter and easier to keep drinking, so it's a great side-by-side lineup.
MugiAnd it's station-connected with around 150 to 200 packaged beers too? That's how 'just one quick drink' becomes a full expedition!
Hop BroStart with Suika IPA and Lemon Hack, then fan out into the taps. At this point I want a pint now more than a plan.
July 18 arrivals
The Beer Shop Hirakata city, a craft beer specialty shop on the 3rd floor of Hirakata Sun Plaza No. 3, posted two new beers from Himitsu Beer on July 18. The shop stocks around 150 to 200 cans and bottles, plus four to six draft beers, and offers both on-site drinking and takeaway.
The two featured beers are very much in summer mode. Suika IPA is described as a beer with bright hop aroma and bitterness up front, followed by juicy, refreshing watermelon sweetness. Lemon Hack uses only peel from home-grown lemons, keeping acidity low while bringing out a clean lemon character in IPA form. The lemon impression is said to be subtle, but worth searching for in the glass.
The draft list for the day was also announced clearly: Sapporo Brewery / Kurolabel, Asobi Brewery (Kyoto) / Yosano no Aooni, Nomcraft (Wakayama) / Wonder Mosaic, Revision Brewing (USA) / DIPA, and Hirakata Beer (Osaka) / Session Citra White. With a lineup that moves from familiar standards to more characterful options, the shop gives drinkers room to choose by mood.
Because the shop is right by the station, it works well for a quick stop after work or for a more relaxed beer comparison session. If you want something seasonal and fruit-forward, starting with the two Himitsu Beer releases and then moving through the draft list makes a natural route.
