CraftBeerSpot Hathor posts a 7/29 tap list with brown ale, porter, and coffee IPA
The Osaka Kyobashi beer pub shared a lineup that spans lager, wheat beer, ales, fruit beers, IPAs, and dark beer. Highlights include Isekadoya Beer Brown Ale, Nomcraft NOMCLASSIC Porter, and the Minoh Beer × Takamura Coffee IPA.
Hop BroToday’s lineup at Osaka-Kyobashi’s Craft Beer Spot Hathor is a good one. The 16-tap spread really leans into brown ales and IPAs, but the range is wide.
MugiWait, brown ale and IPA are co-headliners? That range is wild! Which one jumps out first?
Hop BroFirst up is Brown Ale from Isekadoya Beer. It’s an American Brown Ale with caramel and chocolatey malt, then Citra and Amarillo bring in orange and citrus.
MugiHold on, when you say malty richness, my brain leaves the chat. What does that actually taste like?
Hop BroIt’s basically the sweet, toasty base from the grain. Then the hop aroma lands on top, so it feels like chocolate orange, but the bitterness keeps it tidy.
MugiWhat is that! So Nomcraft’s porter and the Coffee IPA from Minoh Beer × Takamura are both big personalities too?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. Nomclassic Porter is an English porter with an easy body, so it’s dark without being heavy. And the coffee IPA has serious aroma layering from the COLOMBIA FOREST Pink Bourbon Creation beans: floral, caramel, even a soft tropical note.
MugiEasy body? That sounds like a beer’s body weight! How is a dark beer light?
Hop BroBody just means how heavy it feels on the palate. A beer can look dark and still drink light. Plus they’ve got Yebisu, Hoegaarden White, Honkaku IPA, and even Shimanami Super Lemon Sour, so it’s basically a tasting paradise.
MugiOhhh, so it goes from deep brown flavors to bright lemony stuff? That’s not a one-glass night at all.
Hop BroExactly. With the house-smoked food there too, this is the kind of night where I want to take it slow and seriously debate the first pour dilemma.
MugiSold. I’m starting with the Coffee IPA and sneaking over to the porter after that. I want a pint now.
July 29 tap list
CraftBeerSpot Hathor, a beer pub in Kyobashi, Osaka known for its 16 taps and house-smoked dishes, posted a lineup that moves comfortably from familiar classics to more characterful craft pours. The selection is broad enough for food pairing, but it also gives beer fans several clear directions to explore by aroma, malt depth, and hop profile.
Three pours to watch
`Brown Ale / Isekadoya Beer` is the recommended highlight. Built as an American brown ale, it layers malt richness and complexity with hop-driven brightness. The beer is described with deep brown color, caramel and chocolate malt aroma, plus orange and citrus notes from Citra and Amarillo. A firm bitterness keeps the sweetness in check, making it a rounded but still refreshing dark ale.
`NOMCLASSIC Porter / Nomcraft` comes from Nomcraft's NOMCLASSIC series, which pays tribute to enduring European beer styles. In this case, the beer is presented as an English porter with a gentler roast character and lighter body than a stout, so it should read as an approachable dark beer rather than a heavy one.
`Coffee IPA / Minoh Beer × Takamura` is a local Osaka collaboration with Takamura, a well-known coffee roaster. The brewery has reportedly worked with Takamura on bean selection and brewing details for several years. This version uses "COLOMBIA FOREST Pink Bourbon Creation," bringing delicate floral tones, caramel sweetness, and a subtle tropical edge to the IPA framework.
More on tap
The rest of the board covers a wide range of styles: `Yebisu / Sapporo Beer`, `Hoegaarden White / Hoegaarden`, `Kinoni Pale Ale Strata ver / Onidensetsu Beer`, `Ginga no Hop Batake / Good Hops`, `This Is The Way / Long Beach Beer Lab`, `Honkado IPA / Isekadoya Beer`, `Shimanami Super Lemon Sour / Shimanami Brewery`, `Nichinan Lemon Freshly Squeezed Session Hazy IPA / Miyazaki Hideji Beer`, and `Lime Session / Shonan Beer`.
Taken together, the list offers a clear snapshot of Hathor's appeal: a beer bar with enough range to move from crisp lagers and wheat beer to hop-forward ales, fruit-driven beers, and darker malt-led pours in a single visit.
