CraftBeerSpot Hathor taps Oni Densetsu collaboration IPL on June 23
On June 23, CraftBeerSpot Hathor in Osaka’s Kyobashi district tapped one keg of “Yuya Boys IPL - Jamboree SP Ver” from Oni Densetsu Beer. Brewed for KOBE BEER JAMBOREE 2026, the beer is described as a hoppy IPL with citrus and tropical aromas, firm bitterness, and lager-like drinkability.
Hop BroI want to talk about a fresh tap at Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Kyobashi, Osaka, where they opened a single special keg on June 23.
MugiA single keg? That sounds so exclusive! So what’s the featured beer?
Hop BroIt’s Yuya Boys IPL, officially the “Jamboree SP Ver,” a collaboration with Oni Densetsu Beer.
MugiWhat is that! IPL sounds like some kind of magic spell. Is it related to IPA?
Hop BroPretty much, yeah. India Pale Lager means you get IPA-like hop character, but with the clean, crisp drinkability of a lager.
MugiOh wow! So it’s not just bitter, it’s also a smooth chugging beer?
Hop BroExactly. It uses three-hop lineup Citra, Mosaic, and Simcoe, so you get citrus, tropical aromas, and a firm bitterness all at once.
MugiCitra, Mosaic, Simcoe... that sounds like a hop superhero team! But okay, I can already imagine the aroma.
Hop BroAnd this one was brewed as a special collab version for KOBE BEER JAMBOREE 2026, with their first lager-style collab with YUYA BOYS since last year’s “Aooni Rock Ver.”
MugiThat makes it feel even rarer! Hathor is a 16-tap beer pub, right? That sounds perfect for side-by-side tasting.
Hop BroRight, and they also serve house-smoked dishes, so this beer’s crisp lager finish should pair really well with food.
MugiOkay, now my stomach and throat are both in full drinking mode. I seriously want to run to Kyobashi and start with that pour.
On June 23, CraftBeerSpot Hathor tapped one keg of “Yuya Boys IPL - Jamboree SP Ver / Oni Densetsu Beer.” The beer was brewed for KOBE BEER JAMBOREE 2026 and uses Citra, Mosaic, and Simcoe hops. According to the store’s description, it aims for a balance of citrus and tropical aromas, solid bitterness, and the clean drinking feel associated with lager-style beers. The YUYA BOYS collaboration is also notable as Hathor’s lager-side collaboration since last year’s Aooni Rock Ver.
Hathor is a 16-tap beer pub in Osaka’s Kyobashi area, and it also serves house-smoked food. The bar’s approach is straightforward: rotate the taps daily, keep the lineup broad, and offer beers that work both on their own and with food.
The day’s recommended beers included “Tea Bitter Real Ale Ver / Minoh Beer” and “West Coast IPA / Green Flash.” The tap list also covered a wide range of styles: “Yebisu / Sapporo Beer” in lager, “Momoka to Kyoko no Duet Weizen / Repubrew” in wheat beer, “Kyobashi Helles Suspended Sentence / T.Y. Harbor × Hathor” and “Yuzu Tripel / Minoh Beer” in ale, “With Raspberries / Ushitora Brewery” in fruit beer, “Nekojima / Isekadoya Beer × Pomona Island,” “Sour IPA Strawberry & Raspberry / Isekadoya Beer,” and “Lush Hop IPA / Isekadoya Beer” in the IPA section, plus “Milk Stout Nitro Ver / Left Hand” in the dark-beer section. The lineup suggests a venue that can move comfortably from lighter, food-friendly pours to hop-forward and richer styles in a single visit.
