The Beer Shop Hirakata city in Hirakata: opens at 6 p.m. on 4/7, with Sapporo Black Label and five other draft beers
The Beer Pub “The Beer Shop Hirakata city” in Osaka’s Hirakata will open at 6 p.m. on April 7 to attend a tasting event. Today’s draft lineup includes Sapporo Black Label, Kuninocho Brewery, Hirakata Beer, Flora Fermentation, and West Coast Brewing.
Hop BroToday, the hot Hirakata news is the 6:00 p.m. opening. The Beer Shop Hirakata city is opening in the evening because of a tasting event, and today’s draft lineup is really solid.
MugiWait, I thought beer pubs opened from the morning! And there are five draft beers? That’s the kind of lineup that starts tempting you right after opening.
Hop BroFirst up is the headline item: a fresh keg of Sapporo Black Label at opening time. It’s a standard, but a freshly tapped pint has a great lift in carbonation and aroma.
MugiDoes a fresh keg really make that much of a difference? Is there such a thing as an opening-time boost?
Hop BroAbsolutely. With a keg just opened, the gas pressure and aroma tend to come through cleanly. And this time, what’s fun is the range, from a locally connected pint to breweries from all over Japan.
MugiWhat is that, a full tasting session! Kuninocho Brewery, Hirakata Beer, and even Flora Fermentation? It feels like a little trip.
Hop BroKuninocho Brewery is serving an American Pale Ale, Hirakata Beer has Session Citra White, and West Coast Brewing is Boom Box. Seeing the style name makes it easier to imagine the taste, which makes choosing more fun.
MugiSession Citra White is such a long, strong name! What does session mean? Is it some kind of intense training thing?
Hop BroNot quite. It’s closer to meaning light and easy to drink, and it often aims for something you can enjoy for a long time. Citra is a hop variety that tends to bring out citrusy aromas, so when it’s used in a white-beer style, it feels really refreshing.
MugiOhhh! And the shop is inside Hirakata Sun Plaza No. 3 Building, right near the station, too? If you stop by after work, you might end up trying every single one before you know it.
Hop BroExactly. And on April 25 and 26 there’s also an event announcement for a Nami no Oto special feature, so they’re giving people a reason to keep coming back. This is the kind of night where you go in planning for one drink and end up wanting two or three.
MugiThen tonight in Hirakata, I’m starting with Black Label and then going after the local drafts! A tasting-comparison night sounds like a guaranteed good time.
