CraftBeerSpot Hathor, a beer pub in Kyobashi, Osaka, continues to show the range you would expect from a bar with 16 taps and smoked food on the menu. Its August 4 lineup spans lager, sour fruit beer, collaboration IPA, and porter, making it a solid stop for comparison drinking.

Featured beers


The opening highlight is Firestone Walker’s Primal Elements Blueberry & Marionberry. According to the bar’s note, the base beer is built by blending a barrel-aged wild yeast saison, a Flanders red fermented with marionberries, and a lager. It is then aged for nine weeks in a French oak foudre with fresh Washington blueberries. The result is described as deeply purple, aromatic like berry jam, and layered with blueberry sweetness, tartness, and tannins.

The recommended beer is Vit Natt IPA, a revival brew from Minoh Beer x BREWSKI. The beer is presented as a juicy IPA with citrus and tropical hop aroma, a soft oat-and-wheat body, and notes reminiscent of mango and passion fruit. The bar also mentions an invitation to BREWSKI’s Brewskival again this year, underscoring the collaboration link.

The rest of the tap list


The lineup also includes Jukusen from Asahi Beer, Plum Gose from Minoh Beer, Wine Not? from Nomcraft x Choryo, Kinoni Pale Ale Real Ale Ver from Onidensetsu Beer, Gougin from Daisen G Beer, Meyer Lemon Radler from Isekadoya Beer, Shimanami Super Lemon Sour from Shimanami Brewery, Lime Session from Shonan Beer, This Is The Way from Long Beach Beer Lab, and Nomclassic Porter from Nomcraft.

It is a tap list with real range: fruit-forward, hop-driven, sour, and dark beers all in one place. For beer drinkers in Osaka, Hathor looks like a pub where the first pint can lead naturally into a full tasting session.
