Craft Beer Spot Hathor taps Broken Record and Double C DDH DIPA
At Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Osaka, two kegs have been tapped: Broken Record, a West Coast IPA from Embolden Beer Co., and Double C DDH DIPA, a collaboration between Ise Kadoya Beer and Teenage Brewing.
Hop BroTodays Hatohol tap update is a strong one. Broken Record from Embolden Beer Co. and Double C DDH DIPA from Isekadoya Brewery x Teenage Brewing were both tapped at once.
MugiWhat! Two fresh taps is already exciting, and those names sound intense too!
Hop BroFirst up, Broken Record is a West Coast IPA with a light body, citrusy fruit character, and a crisp, clearly defined finish.
MugiWhoa, clearly defined finish sounds like youre describing a movie star with a sharp jawline!
Hop BroThats the point, the aroma and bitterness show up in clean lines, so you instantly get what the beer is doing. Its basically easy-to-read crispness.
MugiOkay... then what is DDH DIPA supposed to be? A spell? A final boss?
Hop BroFinal boss energy, sure, but DDH means extra dry hopping, and DIPA means a bigger, bolder IPA. This one is built around Citra in the lead.
MugiNo way! Full-Citra attack sounds like a grapefruit sprinting straight at me!
Hop BroAnd it layers citrus, tropical fruit, melon, plus a berry note from that hop lot. Its 8% ABV, but still dangerously smooth, a real sneaky drinkability situation.
MugiAt 8%? Thats unfair! Traffic-jam aroma and it still goes down easy? That beer is absolutely setting a trap!
Hop BroThat is exactly why Hatohol is fun. You can line up an American West Coast IPA next to a hop-forward Japanese collab DIPA and enjoy the magic of comparison.
MugiThen its settled! My tonights first pour somehow turned into both of them, and now I want Broken Record for the snap and Double C DDH DIPA for the dreamy finish!
Craft Beer Spot Hathor has tapped two beers for the day. The first is Broken Record from Embolden Beer Co., a West Coast IPA with a light body and a clear, citrus-forward, fruity hop profile.
The second is Double C DDH DIPA, a collaboration between Ise Kadoya Beer and Teenage Brewing. Centered on Citra hops, this DDH double IPA brings citrus, tropical fruit, and melon aromas, plus a berry note that comes through on this batch. It is built as a 8% beer, but with a finish that is meant to stay approachable.
For beer drinkers in Osaka, this is a strong two-keg lineup: one American West Coast IPA and one Japanese collaboration showcasing a hop-forward DDH DIPA. The contrast in aroma, bitterness, and body makes this a good set for side-by-side tasting.
At a beer pub like Hathor, the appeal is following the tap list as it changes. This pair is especially suited to people who want to focus on hop character and compare styles in a single visit.
