Hop BroOn May 12, Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Osaka's Kyobashi tapped a keg of Shiga Kogen Beer "Sono Sen." Their tap lineup is pretty aggressive, and that's what makes it interesting.
MugiWhat! "Sono Sen" is on tap? Even the name sounds powerful! And just one keg? That's definitely the kind of beer you have to rush to if you find it!
Hop BroExactly, and on top of that, today's lineup has a luxurious total of 12 taps. They have everything from staples like Yebisu to IPA, sour, and real ale, so the shop's personality really stands out.
MugiReal ale, what is that! "Real ale" sounds amazing, but what's real about it?
Hop BroSimply put, it's a style with gentler carbonation that lets the character of the cask come through more clearly. This time they also have Iwate Kura Beer's real ale version, and it's fun to compare the differences in mouthfeel.
MugiOhhh! So today is basically a flavor theme park! If they have everything from lager to sour, it sounds like I won't get bored from start to finish!
Hop BroExactly. You could start light with Trillium's pilsner, play around with Ise Kadoya Brewery's sour IPA, and finish with Shiga Kogen Beer's "Sono Sen." That kind of flow feels great.
MugiWhat is that, even the drinking order is perfect! And they even have collaboration beers like Minoh Beer x Inkhorn? That's not fair!
Hop BroThat's one of the highlights too. Nara Brewing x Batele and Iwate Kura Beer's offerings are in there as well, so the lineup is a dream for craft beer fans.
MugiAnd it's open from 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, so it's perfect for stopping by after work! If it opens at 5 on weekdays, there isn't even a reason not to go today!
Hop BroThe kind of place where you say "just one last drink" and then absolutely have another one, right? All right, let's toast with "Sono Sen" at Hathor today and enjoy the view of all 12 taps.
