CraftBeerSpot Hathor serves Super Dry and 11 other drafts in its July 20 lineup
At the Kyobashi beer pub CraftBeerSpot Hathor, the July 20 draft lineup has been refreshed. The selection spans lager, wheat beer, ale, fruit beer, IPA, and a black beer, with Brown Ale, Coffee IPA, and Aurora Hoppyalis singled out as recommendations.
Hop BroKyobashi’s Hathor tap list for July 20 looks strong, with 12 beers on draft including Super Dry, and the progression from lagers to dark beer is really clean.
MugiWhoa, 12 beers on tap is exactly how I end up frozen in front of the menu! A lineup from first glass to last glass is basically a full beer course.
Hop BroExactly. For an easy start, go with Super Dry and Haikara Pils, then move into Hoegaarden White or Ginga no Hop Batake and let your palate loosen up.
MugiNice! But that Isekadoya Brown Ale they recommend, is it super heavy just because it’s brown? The name alone feels like a winter sweater!
Hop BroThat’s the good part. Its malt depth brings caramel and chocolate notes, while Citra and Amarillo add orange and citrus, so it never just drinks sweet.
MugiWait a second, malt depth sounds like the title of a graduate thesis. Please translate that into normal human language!
Hop BroIt means the grain character sticks around in a good way, so you get toasty richness and a satisfying finish instead of something thin.
MugiOkay, then what about the Coffee IPA? Is it trying to wake me up or get me tipsy? My schedule feels personally attacked!
Hop BroThat’s the Minoh Beer x Takamura one, a local Osaka collab where they even chose the coffee variety, so the roast character plays right into the hop profile.
MugiWow, that’s an aroma traffic jam! And if they also have Aurora Hoppyalis IPA, hop fans are going to blast through the ceiling.
Hop BroTotally. It leans San Diego-style with full-throttle hop aroma, and paired with their house-smoked food, I can already see the route to ending on Velvet Merkin 2017.
MugiI’m sold. Start with lager, finish with dark beer, and ride the perfect beer arc. Just reading this made me want a pint.

Among the recommended beers, the Brown Ale from Isekadoya Beer stands out for its malt depth. The beer layers caramel and chocolate notes with orange and citrus accents from Citra and Amarillo, creating a full-bodied pint that still finishes cleanly enough to invite the next sip.
The Coffee IPA is a local collaboration with Takamura, a well-known Osaka roaster. It is brewed with attention paid not only to coffee bean selection but also to how the coffee character interacts with the IPA framework. Aurora Hoppyalis IPA, from Karl Strauss, leans into the hop-forward West Coast/San Diego tradition and will appeal to drinkers who want aroma-driven IPA character.
With a lineup that moves naturally from lager to ale, IPA, and finally a black beer, Hathor gives regulars and newcomers alike plenty of options. Paired with smoked dishes, the tap list reads like a compact tour through different beer moods in one sitting.
