Yatsugatake Brewery's "Shirakaba Beat" Tapped at Beer House Hobbit
At the beer pub Beer House Hobbit in Hirakata, Osaka, Yatsugatake Brewery's pilsner "Shirakaba Beat" was introduced as the tap beer for the day. It is a glass brewed with rare natural birch sap water used as part of the brewing water, and the tap lineup is also well stocked.
Hop BroToday I want to talk about how Shirakaba Beat was tapped at Beer House Hobbit in Hirakata, Osaka. It's a pilsner from Yatsugatake Brewery, and even the name sounds cool and refreshing.
MugiWhat! Birch sap water? That sounds like forest droplets or something, like it has a fantasy vibe even though it's beer!
Hop BroExactly. They use natural birch sap water that can only be collected in early spring in Kiyosato Plateau as part of the brewing water. Just the cool environment at 1,200 meters above sea level already gives you a sense of the beer's shape, doesn't it?
MugiWait, what's part of the brewing water? It's not all birch water? I thought it was some fairy spring already!
Hop BroWell, the base is regular brewing water, and the sap water is added to give it a gentle sweetness. Since it's a pilsner, it's crisp to drink, but the malt has some heft, which is interesting.
MugiWow! Crisp drinking with sweetness too sounds easy to drink! Then even a beer beginner like me could probably go down it smoothly, right?
Hop BroThat's exactly the point, and Beer House Hobbit also has a rich draft lineup. Kukunochi Beer's Kijyo Gold, Choryo Sake Brewery's Wakyo - Sake Lees Yuzu White, and Naminooto Brewing's Circle are all on tap, which is strong.
MugiWhat is that! The names alone are a traffic jam! And they even have Kyoto Brewing and Hirakata Beer, so it's packed with both local love and national range!
Hop BroRight, the collaboration between Osaka and nearby breweries is what makes this place interesting. It's the kind of spot where you can drop in after work and compare the day's rotating draft beers.
MugiAnd it has food too, which is great! Pork kakuni and beer? Seasonal vegetables soaked in broth? My stomach's already growling before I even start drinking!
Hop BroA light pilsner like Shirakaba Beat pairs especially well with vegetable dishes, and it also becomes the kind of drink you can't stop with freshly fried new potato chips.
MugiBeing easy to get to from the station is awesome too, and being able to enjoy beer tasting and a meal together is ideal, right? This is totally one of those nights when you want to go out for a drink together!
Hop BroIt's settled, let's toast with Shirakaba Beat first, then make another round through the taps. Tonight, let's make it a good beer night here in Hirakata.
At the beer pub Beer House Hobbit in Kawaramachi, Hirakata, Osaka, Yatsugatake Brewery's "Shirakaba Beat" was introduced as the tap beer for the day. According to the shop's notice, Shirakaba Beat is a pilsner that uses natural birch sap water, collected only for a short period in early spring in Kiyosato Plateau at an altitude of 1,200 meters, as part of the brewing water. It is said to feature a crisp drinkability, the rich flavor of malt, and a gentle sweetness that lingers on the finish.
Beer House Hobbit's appeal lies in being a reliable beer pub you can count on on days when you feel like having a drink after work, with the ability to enjoy rotating draft beer alongside food. The draft lineup that day included, in addition to Shirakaba Beat, Kukunochi Beer's "Kijyo Gold," Choryo Sake Brewery's "Wakyo - Sake Lees Yuzu White," Naminooto Brewing's "Circle," Kyoto Brewing's "Eleven Eleven Ten," and Hirakata Beer's "Session Citra White." Having local Osaka breweries alongside breweries from neighboring areas and distinctive craft brewers on the same day is a kind of enjoyment characteristic of a beer pub.
The food selection is easy to pair with beer, including seasonal vegetables marinated in broth, pork kakuni braised in craft beer, a fresh vegetable plate, donabe-cooked rice balls with "sea bream," freshly fried new potato chips, and a salad-style dish of sautéed domestic beef round. A light pilsner like Shirakaba Beat pairs especially well with appetizer-style vegetable dishes and fried foods, making it ideal for people who want to enjoy it with a meal as well.
Located in central Hirakata City with easy access from the station, the piece conveyed a place designed to be easy to use in everyday life, where you can enjoy tasting different draft beers and food together.
