Hop BroIn Osaka's Kyobashi, Craft Beer Spot Hathor has something interesting tapping on March 23. The headline is the 11th-anniversary "Kyobashi Helles ~Suspended Sentence~," a beer brewed with T.Y. Harbor.
MugiWhoa! Suspended Sentence sounds a little ominous, doesn't it? But since it's an anniversary beer, it is still supposed to feel celebratory, right?
Hop BroExactly. The real point is its lightness, and the key is that it's a fake Helles. Using Nugget, Saaz, and Hallertau Blanc, it is designed to go down smoothly like a lager.
MugiFake what now! Helles but not Helles is way too confusing!
Hop BroTo put it simply, it drinks like a Helles, so it's gulping beer easy to drink, but the hop combination gives it a slightly modern twist. It's strong because you can start with it as your first pint or keep it going as your main beer for the night.
MugiGot it! Then I'm curious about the three recommended beers next! Ideal for side-by-side tasting sounds so exciting!
Hop BroThe recommendations are Chimay Blue, Tomodachi Saison, and Peanut Butter Milk Stout. You've got the weight of a monastery beer, a wild card with chipotle and lime, and a dessert-like dark beer, so the range is insane.
MugiChipotle and lime!? Smoky and refreshing together? Are they having a meeting in my mouth or what?
Hop BroThat's what makes it fun. Chimay Blue has caramel notes and fruitiness, while Belching Beaver's milk stout brings out a toasty sweetness. In other words, you can cover sweet, bitter, and smoky all in one night.
MugiAnd with 16 taps, the hunt for the next pint never stops! Just the names Shimanami Brewery and Minoh Beer sound delicious!
Hop BroYeah, as Hathor enters its 12th year in Kyobashi, this lineup feels very much like the bar right now. Start with a light lager, then flow into aromatic ales and stouts, and you'll already want another drink.
MugiExactly! If they've got house-smoked items too, it's not just about beer. I already want to head to Kyobashi for a pint tonight!
The highlight for March 23 is a collaboration lager celebrating the 11th anniversary
On this day, Craft Beer Spot Hathor will tap "Kyobashi Helles ~Suspended Sentence~ (T.Y. Harbor × Hathor)."
To celebrate Hathor's 11th anniversary, this beer was brewed at T.Y. Harbor in Tennozu Isle, Tokyo, and is introduced as a "fake Helles" made with Nugget, Saaz, and Hallertau Blanc. The description also labels it as a "gulping beer," making it easy to place as either your first pint or a beer to keep drinking through the night.
Three recommended beers are ideal for side-by-side tasting in different directions
The day's "recommended beers" are the following three.
- Chimay Blue (Scourmont Abbey)
- Tomodachi Saison (Himitsu Beer × Tone × Kemu Bar)
- Peanut Butter Milk Stout (Belching Beaver)
Chimay Blue has a hefty 9% body, with caramel notes, fruitiness, and spice to enjoy. In contrast, Tomodachi Saison is a unique beer brewed with chipotle and lime, combining smokiness and refreshment. Belching Beaver's milk stout is a dessert-like pint with a prominent peanut-butter-derived roasted aroma. From lager to high-ABV beers and black beers, the appeal is that you can choose across a wide range on the same day.
The 16-tap lineup makes it easy to find your "next pint" in Kyobashi
The tap list includes domestic and overseas brands such as Shimanami Brewery, Minoh Beer, Ise Kadoya Beer, Minami Shinshu Beer, Deux de Ciel!, and Trademark. With yuzu whites, WC IPAs, and high-alcohol beers also available, it is easy to mix and match with companions who prefer different styles.
Hathor has been operating in Kyobashi, Osaka since 2015. In addition to 16 taps, house-smoked items are another hallmark, and it is easy to create a flow from a light lager to aromatic ales and stouts. As it moves into its 12th year after the 11th anniversary, today's lineup neatly reflects where the bar stands now.
