CraftBeerSpot Hathor in Kyobashi taps Black Label and a peach-apricot Weizen
CraftBeerSpot Hathor in Osaka’s Kyobashi area has posted its June 12 draft lineup. Alongside Sapporo Draft Beer Black Label, the bar is pouring Momoka to Kyouko no Duet Weizen and a wide mix of lagers, IPAs, fruit beers, and stout-style options.
Hop BroJune 12 in Osaka's Kyobashi, Hathor's 16 taps are looking seriously strong. Craft Beer Spot Hathor has Sapporo Black Label coming on, plus Momoka and Anzu no Duet Weizen.
MugiWhat! Black Label on tap sounds super classic, but having fruity stuff on the same day too? That range is wild.
Hop BroThat's exactly why it's good. Your first glass can be Sapporo Draft Beer Black Label, with solid malt flavor, a crisp finish, and fine foam that goes down easy.
MugiWhoa! But what is a weizen? The name sounds cute, and then suddenly I'm being hit with a magic spell.
Hop BroIn simple terms, it's a wheat-forward beer. Repubrew's Momoka and Anzu no Duet Weizen uses about 60% wheat malt, so it gets this soft body with peach and apricot aromas floating up.
MugiNo way! Sixty percent wheat malt sounds like a bakery decided to make beer. And peach plus apricot? That's basically dessert.
Hop BroThe fun part is that it doesn't stop there. Banana and clove notes layer in too, so it isn't just sweet, and it still keeps that clear weizen character.
MugiHold on, clove notes? Did this turn into a cooking show? What kind of aroma does that actually mean?
Hop BroThink elegant and a little spicy, and you're close. Hathor also has house-made smoked dishes, so both lagers and fruit weizens work well there. The IPA lineup is deep too, with Tono no Kaze, Live Current IPA, and Hop Nyaon 12th Fleet.
MugiWow, from light pours to dark finishers in one stop is way too strong. I want to run to Kyobashi, start with Black Label, and grin through a glass of Momoka and Anzu no Duet Weizen.
Hop BroThat flow is perfect. Old Rasputin is waiting at the end too, so finishing on something dark is absolutely on the table. This is one of those days where a full tasting journey fits in a single pub.
MugiKyobashi beer mission is officially happening. From that first foamy sip to the last rich finish, my stomach and my throat are both reacting already.
Draft lineup for June 12
CraftBeerSpot Hathor in Kyobashi, Osaka, has posted its June 12 draft-beer lineup. The beer pub runs 16 taps and pairs the selection with house-smoked food, so the board moves from easy-drinking lagers to fruit beers, IPAs, and dark styles.
The freshly tapped beer is Sapporo Breweries' Sapporo Draft Beer Black Label, a lager known for its malt sweetness, crisp finish, and creamy foam. The lager section also includes Hopping Shachi and Brau Meister.
The recommended pour is Repubrew's Momoka to Kyouko no Duet Weizen, a summer fruit Weizen built around peach and apricot. With about 60% wheat malt, it is fuller and softer on the palate, while banana and clove notes from the yeast keep it recognizably Weizen.
IPA drinkers have plenty to choose from: Tono no Wind, made with 100% Tono-grown hops; Live Current IPA from Stone; Hop Nyaon 12th Fleet; Kozaru IPA Real Ale ver from Minoh Beer; and Pleiades from Uchu Brewing. The board is rounded out by Yona Yona Pale Ale, Shinkan no Pale Ale, Daisen G Beer Pale Ale, and Old Rasputin, making this a lineup that moves easily from crisp lagers to heavier dark beer.
