Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Osaka's Kyobashi puts Chimay Blue and a varied draft lineup on tap for 3/25
The beer pub "Craft Beer Spot Hathor" in Osaka's Kyobashi has published its draft beer lineup for March 25. The 16-tap selection includes names with a wide flavor range, such as Chimay Blue, Tomodachi Saison, and Peanut Butter Milk Stout.
Hop BroOsaka's Kyobashi Craft Beer Spot Hathor just dropped a big update to its draft list for March 25. Sixteen taps, with everything from lager to IPA to dark beer, is just fun right off the bat, isn't it?
MugiWhoa, 16 taps is way too many, isn't it!? It's the kind of thing that makes you happy and confused at the same time because you don't know where to start!
Hop BroThe first one to lock onto is Chimay Blue. It's the rich one from Scourmont Abbey, with caramel notes, citrusy fruitiness, and that 9% heft all hitting at once.
Mugi9%!? That's less like beer and more like a drinkable heavyweight, right? And it's vintage-dated, so the flavor changes by year!?
Hop BroExactly. The fun of vintage beers is the year-to-year character that comes through. Aging smooths off the edges and deepens the aroma, so even the same label becomes a flavor that exists only right now.
MugiOhhh! Next I'm curious about Tomodachi Saison! Chipotle and lime in beer? Is that really okay!? It suddenly sounds like cooking!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part: it uses a farmhouse ale base, then layers in smoky umami and the brightness of lime. It's a collaboration between HIMITSU BEER, TONE, and Kemupa, and the foreign-inspired character is put together really well.
MugiWow, that's bold! Then on a day when you want something sweet, it's Peanut Butter Milk Stout. I feel like it wins just from the name alone!
Hop BroThat one is one of Belching Beaver's signature beers, and you get sweet toasted aroma and richness in full. It has the mellow character of a milk stout, so it works almost like dessert.
MugiAnd they even have house-smoked items too, right? Places like this are unfair because the experience doesn't end with just drinking. They take the snacks way too seriously too!
Hop BroThey've got everything from Kyobashi Helles to WC IPA, and Hathor's strength is that you can build the whole night from a light first pour to the final closer. Today is definitely set up as a full-on drinking flow, from the first glass to the last.
MugiDecision made! I'll start with the Helles and finish with a stout! But I might cheat on that and drift toward Chimay Blue, so now I want to go right away!
The beer pub "Craft Beer Spot Hathor" in Osaka's Kyobashi updated its draft beer information for March 25. With 16 taps, the lineup spans lager, white beer, ale, IPA, and dark beer. Since the shop also serves house-smoked items, this is a day for drinking with food pairings in mind.

Next is Tomodachi Saison / HIMITSU BEER × TONE × KEMUPA. This collaboration beer uses chipotle and lime. Based on a farmhouse ale, it combines the smoky aroma and umami of chipotle with the brightness of lime, resulting in an exotic finish.
And Peanut Butter Milk Stout / Belching Beaver. It is presented as one of the brewery's signature beers, offering the sweet, toasty aroma of peanut butter and the richness of a milk stout.
Also on tap are Kyobashi Helles ~Suspended Sentence~ / T.Y. Harbor × Hathor, Shimanami Silky Lager / Shimanami Brewery, Sentinel / Deu du Ciel!, BATON 010 Pilsner / Minoh Beer, Yuzu Ho White / Minoh Beer, Cask Red / Minami Shinshu Beer, and Ocean Thunder WC IPA / Trademark, among others, giving you a wide range from easy-drinking to more substantial pours.
