CraftBeerSpot Hathor adds Kinoni Pale Ale and Honkado IPA on 7/25
CraftBeerSpot Hathor, a beer pub in Kyobashi, Osaka, updated its 7/25 draft lineup. The new pours include Kinoni Pale Ale Strata ver from Onidensetsu Beer and Honkado IPA from ISEKADO, alongside a 16-tap selection and house-smoked food.
Hop BroCraft Beer Spot Hathor in Kyobashi has a 16-tap refresh on July 25, and it looks strong. They just tapped Kin-Oni Pale Ale Strata ver and Honkaku IPA.
MugiWhat, two new taps at once? And those names sound intense. "Honkaku" already feels like a beer that judges me.
Hop BroThat is exactly the fun part. Oni Densetsu Beer's Kin-Oni Pale Ale is a pale ale with passion fruit, mango, and citrus notes coming from Strata hops.
MugiHold on, Strata hops? What is that? That sounds less like beer and more like a finishing move.
Hop BroIt is a hop variety. Basically, it helps create a tropical fruit vibe in the aroma. The bitterness is firm, but the whole beer stays smooth and easy to keep drinking.
MugiOhhh, bitter but gentle. So it looks fierce, but it talks like a nice older brother. I can work with that.
Hop BroThen there is Isekadoya Brewery's Honkaku IPA, a revived American IPA brewed for ISEKADO's 25th anniversary. It has an amber color and a classic old-school IPA build.
MugiSo this is the old-school IPA lane? How is that different from the juicy IPA stuff that tastes like a fruit stand exploded?
Hop BroInstead of modern tropical overload, this one leans on solid bitterness and malt character. And Hathor also has Brown Ale and Coffee IPA, so the side-by-side tasting gets very serious very fast.
MugiWait, and you can pair house-smoked food and IPA there too? That is way too strong. I would absolutely get stuck there on purpose.
Hop BroThey also have Aurora Hoppyalis IPA from Karl Strauss for a more hop-forward angle, plus pilsner and saison on the board. This is one of those days where choosing is half the fun.
MugiDecision made. First round at Hathor is Kin-Oni, then Honkaku, then Brown Ale to finish. Now I fully want a pint.
