Hop BroNews from Hirakata: The Beer Shop Hirakata city just tapped Miyazaki Hideji Beer’s “Nichinan Lemon Fresh-Squeezed Session Hazy IPA” on draft.
MugiWait, Nichinan Lemon Fresh-Squeezed already sounds like summer in a glass. And it’s on draft?
Hop BroYep, it’s a Session Hazy IPA, so you get that juicy hazy character but in a lighter, easier-drinking build.
MugiHold on, Session Hazy IPA sounds like a spell. So it’s cloudy but still super drinkable?
Hop BroExactly. Think lower-alcohol IPA with a soft mouthfeel from the haze, the kind you can keep happily sipping.
MugiOhhh, and the article says Meyer lemon-like aroma? My brain is already bright yellow.
Hop BroThen the hops bring just enough bitterness, so it doesn’t turn into lemonade cosplay.
MugiNo way, the bottles sold out twice this month and now there’s a draft version too? Total citrus celebrity behavior.
Hop BroBetter yet, the bar also has Session Citra White from Hirakata Beer, so you can do a local-vs-Miyazaki side-by-side.
MugiThat is such a drop-by-at-lunch setup. Station-connected and summer beer? My thirst has already arrived.
Hop BroOn a hot day, a bright, breezy finish like this is exactly what you want, especially if you like chasing aroma.
MugiThen it’s settled: I want this now, and you’re absolutely ordering the comparison flight too.
On Sunday, July 19, The Beer Shop Hirakata city, a beer pub connected to Hirakata-shi Station, tapped Miyazaki Hideji Beer’s “Nichinan Lemon Fresh-Press Session Hazy IPA.”
According to the shop’s post, the beer uses lemons from Nichinan and is designed as an easy-drinking Hazy IPA. The aroma is described as reminiscent of Meyer lemon, with a bright citrus character balanced by a moderate hop bitterness. It reads as a beer that fits the heat of the season without feeling heavy.
This draft release follows two bottled arrivals earlier in the month, both of which had already sold out. In other words, this is the draft version of a beer that had been moving quickly in bottle form, now available in a format that should be especially appealing to drinkers who want to focus on aroma and freshness.
The shop also showed Hirakata Beer’s “Session Citra White” in its lineup, making it possible to compare a local citrus-forward house beer with the lemon Hazy from Miyazaki. That kind of side-by-side drinking is part of the appeal of a craft-beer-focused pub like this.
The Beer Shop Hirakata city is located in Hirakata San Plaza No. 3, in Okahigashicho, Hirakata, Osaka. As a craft-beer specialty beer pub, it offers both draft and bottled selections and is a convenient stop for a daytime pint as well. For a summer citrus beer, this is one to note.
