11th Anniversary Collaboration Tapped at Craft Beer Spot Hathor: 16 Taps on 4/10
Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Osaka's Kyobashi has released its draft lineup for April 10. Along with the 11th anniversary collaboration, "Kyobashi Helles ~Suspended Sentence~," the selection spans everything from lagers to dark beers, including a red ale from Onidensetsu Beer and a beer from Nara Brewing.
Hop BroToday, Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Osaka's Kyobashi is on fire. The main attraction is the 11th anniversary collaboration beer, "Kyobashi Helles ~Suspended Sentence~ / T.Y. Harbor x Hathor."
MugiWait, Suspended Sentence is the beer name!? That sounds like a drama is about to start out of nowhere!
Hop BroThe thing is, it's a fake Helles brewed with Nugget, Saaz, and Hallertau Blanc. It looks and drinks like a Helles, but it's designed to be so crisp and easy-going that you immediately want another glass.
MugiSo it's fake but serious!? And gulp-gulp style already sounds dangerously drinkable just from the name!
Hop BroExactly, and Hathor has 16 taps, so the fun of choosing is part of it too. They also have house-made smoked foods, so it's the kind of place where beer and snacks can loop forever.
MugiWow, a strong snack game is basically cheating! So is your recommendation Underwater Luminous?
Hop BroNara Brewing's beer is interesting. It uses sake yeast, brewing water, and soyashi water, and has a distinctly Japanese-inspired approach that brings out the malt sweetness and acidity. The aroma is pretty unique too, with hints of watermelon, honey-filled apple, and ramune.
MugiWatermelon and ramune? That's basically a summer festival! But what is soyashi water even supposed to mean? That suddenly sounds like a science experiment!
Hop BroSimply put, it's one of the brewing ideas involved in building acidity. On top of that malt sweetness, if you want something even more assertive, there's Onidensetsu Beer's Oni Kaku TY.
MugiWhoa, that sounds strong just from the name! So Imperial Red Ale means it's red, but still hits hard?
Hop BroExactly. It layers Strata, Chinook, and Galaxy with Simcoe, Mosaic, and Citra, aiming for a balance of bitterness with grape, peach, citrus, and roasted notes. IPA fans will probably find it very appealing.
MugiHaving regular beers, dark beers, and fruit beers too makes the lineup ridiculously luxurious! If you're drinking in Kyobashi, getting lost at Hathor today might actually be the right move~.
Hop BroGetting lost is welcome. Then I'll start with the Helles and finish with the red ale. Mugi, let's go all in from the first glass tonight together.
Craft Beer Spot Hathor, a beer pub in Kyobashi, Osaka, is a 16-tap spot where you can also enjoy house-made smoked foods. The first beer to watch in today's lineup is the 11th anniversary collaboration brewed with T.Y. Harbor, "Kyobashi Helles ~Suspended Sentence~ / T.Y. Harbor x Hathor." Brewed as a fake Helles using Nugget, Saaz, and Hallertau Blanc, it is presented as a highly drinkable, "gulp-gulp" style that goes down smoothly.
Another recommended pour is "Underwater Luminous / Nara Brewing," which brings malt sweetness and acidity to the forefront while using sake yeast, brewing water, and soyashi water. Its signature notes are said to evoke watermelon, honey-filled apple, and ramune, making it sound especially fun to compare against other beers in the same style.
For something with more character, there is "Oni Kaku TY Imperial Red Ale / Onidensetsu Beer." Built around Strata, Chinook, and Galaxy, and layered further with Simcoe, Mosaic, and Citra, the hop bill aims for a balance of grape, peach, citrus, roast character, and bitterness. Despite the high alcohol content, it is said to be easy to keep drinking, making it a lineup that should resonate with IPA fans as well.
In addition, the tap list is fully rounded out with staples like "Edel Pils / Sapporo Beer," Minoh Beer's "SEYA!" and "Honey Saison," Ise Kadoya Brewing's "Mugi no Manimani" and "Brain-Melting Ultra Heaven 3xIPA," Onidensetsu Beer's "Yuya Boys IPL - Jamboree SP Ver" and "Kurooni Stout Kato SP Ver. Mk2," T.Y. Harbor's "Kanpai Peach Ale," and Shiga Kogen Beer's "House IPA Real Ale ver." If you want to drink a wide range of styles in Kyobashi, this is a tap list worth keeping on your radar.
