The Beer Shop Hirakata city taps Trademark Brewing’s Codebreaker
The Beer Shop Hirakata city, a beer pub in Hirakata, Osaka, has tapped Codebreaker from the U.S. brewery Trademark Brewing. The June 4 lineup also features Sapporo Brewery, Craftbank Brewery, and West Coast Brewing pours.
Hop BroToday’s topic is The Beer Shop Hirakata city in Osaka, where Trademark Brewing’s Codebreaker just hit the taps.
MugiWait, that name Codebreaker sounds like a spy movie! Does one pint unlock classified secrets?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. It’s a West Coast IPA from Trademark Brewing, built with Simcoe Cryo and Mosaic Cryo to make the hops really pop.
MugiHold on, what is Cryo? You can’t just drop that like I’m already in brewing school!
Hop BroCryo is basically a denser hop punch, like concentrating the most flavorful parts of the hop. That’s why the citrus, green bitterness, and grassy edge come through so clearly.
MugiOhh, and with a dry finish it sounds crisp instead of just bitter.
Hop BroExactly. If you want hop character to show up clearly, it’s a must-check pour.
MugiBut that same list also has Sapporo Black Label, three Craftbank beers, and WCB’s Starwatcher? That tap list is ridiculous.
Hop BroIt really is. You’ve got lager, IPA, and easy Craftbank comparisons, so it’s a wide tasting range that makes the whole board fun.
MugiAnd it’s in Hirakata Sun Plaza 3, open from 3:00 to 11:00, which is basically perfect after-work timing.
Hop BroPlus Nagao-san is working a one-person shift that day, so I’d get there early and order like a considerate adult.
MugiI’m sold. Codebreaker first, then a comparison run after that. I want to go now!
Hop BroSame here. Codebreaker to start, Craftbank after that, maybe Black Label to reset. This is a go-drink lineup.
The Beer Shop Hirakata city, located in Okahigashi-cho, Hirakata, Osaka, updated its tap list for Thursday, June 4. The post highlights `Codebreaker` from `Trademark Brewing` in the United States as a new keg.
`Codebreaker` is described as a modern West Coast IPA brewed with Simcoe Cryo and Mosaic Cryo hops, plus Pilsner and 2-row malt. According to the post, it brings citrus notes, green hop bitterness, and a slightly grassy character, with a dry finish that should appeal to hop-forward beer drinkers.
The day’s lineup is:
- `Sapporo Brewery` / `Kurorabel`
- `Craftbank Brewery` / `Bank IPA`
- `Trademark Brewing` / `Codebreaker`
- `Craftbank Brewery` / `El Clasico`
- `Craftbank Brewery` / `Bitter Bug`
- `West Coast Brewing` / `Starwatcher`
It is a balanced selection that moves from a familiar lager to multiple IPA and West Coast-style options. Having three Craftbank Brewery beers on tap also makes it easy to compare different expressions from the same brewery side by side.
The shop is a beer pub inside Hirakata Sunplaza No. 3 Building, Room 306, making it an easy stop in central Hirakata. The post notes a 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. service window and a one-person operation for the day, which suggests a straightforward, beer-focused stop for anyone in the area.
