CraftBeerSpot Hathor taps Edel Pils and 11 more beers on Aug. 22
The Kyobashi beer pub updated its Aug. 22 draft list with 12 beers spanning pilsner, summer lager, barrel-aged anniversary ale, fruit beer, IPA, and stout, alongside its smoked-food menu.
Hop BroToday's story is Hathor's Aug 22 taps in Kyobashi, Osaka. Twelve beers from lagers to stout is the kind of lineup that makes you forget you ever planned to stop at one.
MugiWait, a 12-beer lineup? If I walked in promising myself just one pint, my heart would immediately start negotiating with all twelve.
Hop BroWhat jumps out first is the two lagers. There's Sapporo's Edel Pils and Minoh Beer's Summer Lager, so you get classic pilsner charm and easy summer-drinking in one move.
MugiWhoa, Saaz aroma hops sounds less like beer and more like a password to enter wizard school. What even is that?
Hop BroNothing scary there, it just means floral aroma and noble bitterness. Edel Pils brings elegant bitterness, while Summer Lager layers citrusy American hops with rice for a light, dry finish that's perfect in hot weather.
MugiThat rice-driven dry finish sounds dangerous in the best way. My throat would be like, one more sip please, and then the house-smoked snacks show up and ruin my self-control completely.
Hop BroThe ale side is stacked too. Karl Strauss's 37th Anniversary Golden Ale goes full bourbon barrel-aged with coffee, cacao nibs, and vanilla layered on top.
MugiHold on, aged in barrels? So this beer basically checked into a luxury hotel and came back smelling like dessert and good decisions?
Hop BroPretty much. The barrel adds depth, and then you've also got Isekadoya's DANK DANK DANK!!, Shiga Kogen's KASUMI, two versions of Kin Oni Pale Ale, and Nara Brewing's Double Swisher for a hop comparison flight.
MugiEven the names are fun. DANK DANK DANK!! sounds like my excitement level after the first sip. Put the real ale version and the Citra version side by side, and my vocabulary is going to collapse into wow.
Hop BroAnd it doesn't stop there. Firestone Walker's blueberry and marionberry beer, Beer Hearn's sansho white ale, Minoh's stout real ale version, and Baby Blonde Miyama mean from crisp to dark there's basically no weak spot on the board.
MugiThat's it, we're going. Settle in at Kyobashi, start with Edel Pils, grab the smoked snacks, and finish on the anniversary ale. This article is making me want a pint right now.
CraftBeerSpot Hathor in Kyobashi, Osaka, posted its August 22 draft-beer lineup. True to a bar with 16 taps and smoked food, the list ranges from crisp lagers to hop-forward ales, fruit beer, and stout, giving drinkers plenty of ways to build a tasting flight.
The lager side is especially strong. Sapporo Beer’s Edel Pils is a classic pilsner built on floral aroma and refined bitterness from Czech Saaz hops. Minoh Beer’s Summer Lager brings bright citrus-like aromatics from American hops, then finishes light and dry thanks to the use of rice, making it an easy pick for warm weather.
The ale and IPA selection goes wider. Karl Strauss’s 37th Anniversary Golden Ale is described as a barrel-aged, bourbon-leaning beer layered with coffee, oak, cocoa nibs, and vanilla. ISEKADOYA Beer’s DANK DANK DANK!! is presented as an American IPA with tightened balance between bitterness and malt sweetness. Also on tap are KASUMI from Shiga Kogen Beer, Kinoni Pale Ale Real Ale Ver and Kinoni Pale Ale Citra Ver from Onidensetsu Beer, and Double Swisher from Nara Brewing.
For something different, the list also includes Firestone Walker’s Primal Elements Blueberry & Marionberry, Minoh Beer’s Stout Real Ale Ver, Beer Hearn’s Sansho White Ale, and Shiga Kogen Beer’s Baby Blonde Miyama. It is a well-rounded lineup that moves from bright and refreshing to dark and layered, with smoked dishes available to match.
