CraftBeerSpot Hathor taps Firestone Walker's Sunglider in its June 13 draft lineup
The Osaka-Kyobashi beer pub CraftBeerSpot Hathor has published its June 13 draft lineup. Headlining the board is Firestone Walker's Sunglider, a Helles-style golden lager, while Good Hops' Tono no Wind IPA and a broad mix of lagers, ales, fruit beers, IPAs, and a dark beer round out the selection.
Hop BroToday's topic is Hathor's June 13 tapping. At Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Kyobashi, Firestone Walker's Sunglider is going on draft.
MugiWhat! That name Sunglider already sounds like it can fly. What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt's a Helles-inspired golden lager based on the traditional pale lagers of Munich. Easy-drinking, but it still has a real malt backbone.
MugiWhoa! But what is Helles? You just launched a beer spell at me and my brain is fizzing.
Hop BroPut simply, it's a soft, tidy lager. Rounded malt, gentle bitterness, and the kind of balance that makes one glass turn into three.
MugiSo, dangerously crushable. Got it! And it says Atlas barley and Willamette hops. Do those really change the flavor?
Hop BroAbsolutely. Atlas barley builds the base, and Willamette gives it a floral, grassy aroma. You get that breezy field-and-flowers vibe with a mellow bitterness.
MugiWhat is that, a park breeze in a glass? I'm also curious about Tono no Kaze. That's an IPA too, right?
Hop BroAnd a very interesting one. Good Hops' Tono no Kaze uses 100% Tono-grown hops, with their in-house No Wind hop taking the lead. It throws off green apple and pear notes.
MugiGreen apple and pear sounds absurdly fresh! But Stone's Live Current IPA says it's dank. Is that some kind of wrestling move for laundry?
Hop BroClose in chaos, totally wrong in beer. Dank means a deep, resinous hop punch. Tropical fruit, peach, citrus, plus that sticky edge that adds weight.
MugiOkay, now I get it! Then I want the lager-to-stout route today. Smoked snacks on the side, then finish with Old Rasputin.
Hop BroThat's the Hathor way. With 16 taps, it's a light-to-rich lineup you can travel through cleanly. Reading it already makes me want that first pour.
MugiExactly! Start with Sunglider, chase it with Tono no Kaze and Live Current, and then... I need to go to Kyobashi right now.
