The beer pub Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Osaka's Kyobashi announced six new taps for today on Instagram. The lineup includes Y Market, Nara Brewing, Island Brewery, Onidensetsu Beer, Ise Kadoya Beer, and Shiga Kogen Beer, along with a wide-ranging 16-tap draft selection that is also worth noting.
Hop BroThe Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Osaka's Kyobashi has opened a great lineup again today. With six new taps and the depth of 16 taps overall, it's a pretty tempting list even from a manager's point of view.
MugiWhoa! Six at once!? An opening rush like that means there are that many things you want to drink!
Hop BroThis time, we've got Beer no Ousho, Echoes, and even Shine Muscat Ale. Y Market, Nara Brewing, and Island Brewery all in one go really lets you soak up the personality of Japanese craft beer.
MugiWhat is that! Shine Muscat Ale? It's beer, but with muscat grapes!? It already looks like a cousin of fruit juice, doesn't it?
Hop BroNice catch. Ale is a top-fermented style of beer, so it's easier to bring out layers of aroma. That muscat-like impression comes from the overlap of adjuncts and hop aroma, and it's the kind of beer that makes you happy before you even take a sip.
MugiOhh! So Yuya Boys IPL and Sake Lees Hazy IPA are also about playing with aroma, right? Even the names are bursting with energy!
Hop BroExactly. IPL brings hop character onto a lager-like crispness, and Sake Lees Hazy IPA is all about haze and juiciness. Then you even have collaboration beers like Kind of Gold, so it feels like you're traveling without leaving one bar.
MugiAnd they even have real ale!? Wait, this has suddenly gone into a seriously connoisseur-friendly world!
Hop BroReal ale has a restrained carbonation and a calm, smooth drinking feel that builds flavor gradually. Since it's a beer pub that also serves smoked dishes, Hathor really stands out for how well it pairs aromatic IPAs through to slow-sipping stouts.
MugiWow, smoked snacks with beer sounds absolutely delicious! And that 15:00-23:00 event on May 31 is catching my eye too. I already want to head to Kyobashi starting today!
