Craft Beer Spot Hathor Offers 16 Drafts After ALL Pale Ale Event
Craft Beer Spot Hathor, a beer pub in Kyobashi, Osaka, announced its return to regular service after the ALL Pale Ale event ended. Sixteen pale ale-style drafts from Japan and abroad are on offer, including Daizan G Beer and Shiga Kogen Beer.
Hop BroCraft Beer Spot Hathor in Kyobashi, Osaka is still going hard even after the ALL Pale Ale event. With 16 taps centered on pale ale, it feels like the bar is basically saying, “Compare as much as you want, just don’t go too wild today.”
MugiWhat! Sixteen drafts? Isn’t that way too many? Pale ales can really be that different? My brain can’t keep up!
Hop BroAnd the lineup includes beers like Daizan G Beer's Pale Ale, Shiga Kogen Beer's DPA, and Ise Kadoya Beer's Classic Pale Ale, so the individuality of Japan's breweries is lined up right there.
MugiWow, even the names sound delicious... but what is DPA? It suddenly sounds so intense. It looks like a robot model number!
Hop BroDPA stands for Double Pale Ale, so in short it's the kind with a bit more punch in both aroma and bitterness. Hathor is pairing that with Kamikatsu Pale Ale from Rise & Win, Shinkan no Pale Ale from Miyazaki Hideji Beer, and even Tarozaemon from Hansharo Beer, turning the place into a paradise for side-by-side tastings.
MugiWhat is that, it's totally a rabbit hole for comparison tasting! You go in planning to have one glass, then you say, “Just one more...” and before you know it you've probably tried them all!
Hop BroAnd it's not just domestic breweries either. American names like Deschutes and Sierra Nevada are on the list, along with real ale versions from Shiga Kogen Beer and Onidensetsu Beer. Because the character of fermentation really comes through, it's fun to look for differences in mouthfeel.
MugiWait, what's a real ale? That name sounds so serious that if I drank it I'd suddenly turn into an English gentleman!
Hop BroSimply put, differences in the cask and serving method make the carbonation gentler, so it tends to have a softer, more delicate drinking feel. Hathor is open from 5:00 p.m. to midnight Monday through Friday, and 3:00 p.m. to midnight on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, so it's easy to stop by after work.
MugiThat's unfair... I want to go while it's still early summer and do a pale ale tasting comparison, too, so I can strike a pose like, “I'm a woman who understands bitterness!”
