Hatohoru in Kyobashi, Osaka taps "Neko ni Hiki"; also announces a 5/31 pale ale project
Craft Beer Spot Hatohoru, a beer pub in Kyobashi, Osaka, announced in a May 20 post that it had tapped Ise Kadoya Beer’s "Neko ni Hiki." It also unveiled a 12-draft lineup and announced an event for May 31.
Hop BroIf you hear that a Kyobashi, Osaka beer pub has tapped Neko ni Hiki, you just react right away. The post Hatohoru put up on May 20 was pretty bold.
MugiWait, Neko ni Hiki sounds intriguing just from the name! It’s a cat beer, but it somehow gives off a really strong vibe!
Hop BroThis one is from Ise Kadoya Beer, and the appeal is its juicy New England IPA character. It’s tropical, and that slightly hazy look is exactly what you’d expect.
MugiNew England? That sounds like a place name! This is a beer, but now I’m starting to feel like I’m on a trip!
Hop BroSimply put, it’s a style that puts fruitiness front and center rather than pushing bitterness hard. The mouthfeel is soft, and if you think of it as an IPA made to enjoy the hop aroma, that’s the idea.
MugiGot it! And on top of that, there were 12 drafts total that day? That’s way too lavish. There’s no way anyone is leaving after just one drink!
Hop BroExactly. What’s strong here is that they’ve got everything from lager and ale to sour IPA and stout. Jukusen, Spring Lager, Electro Squash Sour IPA, and Enmusubi Beer Stout make for a really smart tasting lineup.
MugiWait, they even have Real Ale ver.? That suddenly gives off a serious craftsperson vibe, and the beer world feels way too deep!
Hop BroReal Ale ver. is, broadly speaking, a serving style aimed at a softer mouthfeel. And with the May 31 event, "Early Summer Wind and 16 Kinds of Pale Ale," they’ve even built in the seasonal flow, which is nice.
MugiSo it’s basically a Kyobashi detour locked in! I can already see the future where we meant to have just one drink after work and end up tasting beers together for two hours!
