Craft Beer Spot Hathor Updates Its 5/23 Draft Lineup with Three Beers Including Oyam G Beer’s “Yasato”
At Craft Beer Spot Hathor, a beer pub in Kyobashi, Osaka, the draft lineup was updated on May 23. Three distinctive beers are on tap, including Oyama G Beer’s “Yasato,” Wye Market’s “Lupulin Nectar,” and North Coast’s “Old Rasputin.”
Hop BroThe May 23 draft lineup has been updated at Craft Beer Spot Hathor, a beer pub in Kyobashi, Osaka. It has 16 taps, and they even make their own smoked dishes, so it already feels like a win before you even start drinking.
MugiWhat? Sixteen taps is too many! If it were me, I'd freeze up at the door not knowing where to start!
Hop BroStart with Oyama G Beer’s Yasato. It uses Yamadanishiki grown together with local farmers, and it’s fruity, spicy, and has a solid 7% ABV body.
MugiI always thought of Yamadanishiki as a sake rice, and now it’s in beer? A beer made with sake rice is such a free-spirited idea!
Hop BroThat’s what makes it interesting. When the clean character from the rice combines with malt richness and yeast aroma, it creates a fruity, spicy expression. Yasato has that balance beautifully.
MugiThe next one, Lupulin Nectar, sounds sweet just from the name! If it tastes like tropical juice, then it’s basically a snack in beer form!
Hop BroWhat stands out about Wye Market’s version is that it pushes forward with heavy haze and plenty of hops, while keeping the bitterness gentle. Beers like this have the fun of the hazy style, like the tropics arriving the moment you bring the glass close.
MugiSo hazy basically means the haze is part of the appeal? Beer that gets points just for how it looks is kind of unfair!
Hop BroThen there’s North Coast’s Old Rasputin. It has the heavy body you expect from an imperial stout, with rum-like aromas and dark-chocolate richness. Black beer lovers are definitely going to grin at this one.
MugiWow, just hearing 'rich dark' makes my mouth feel black! At this point, can we just call it dessert?
Hop BroAnd today they also have Miller Pond Pale Ale and a fruit ale made with off-spec Shine Muscat grapes from Nagasaki, so you can build a progression from a light drink to a heavy one.
MugiThat’s perfect! I’m going to start with the tasting flight, so hop bro, figure out the ultimate order with the smoked dishes! Now I really want to go!
