Hathor Taps Shimanami Brewery’s Strike Pilsner in Kyobashi
Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Kyobashi, Osaka, has announced its September 9, 2026 draft list. The featured pour is Shimanami Brewery’s Strike Pilsner, joined by robust ales, fruit beers, IPAs and a stout.
Hop BroKyobashi’s Hator is tapping Shimanami Brewery’s Strike Pilsner today! The September 9 list has an impressively broad range.
MugiWhoa! I think of pilsner as a classic, but is this one really that special? The idea of lager at its core has me curious!
Hop BroThat’s exactly its appeal. It’s a 5.5% all-malt pilsner, carefully brewed to be the kind of beer you’ll happily reach for again and again.
MugiWhat even is an all-malt brew? Do all the malts gather around and toast each other?
Hop BroWonderful image, but not quite. It means the fermentable sugars come primarily from malt rather than adjuncts, so the clean grain character comes through clearly.
MugiOh, nice! That sounds great with their house-smoked food. Hator is a 16-tap beer pub, right?
Hop BroExactly. Start with the crisp Strike Pilsner, then move to Arrogant Consortium (Stone)’s Arrogant Bastard Ale. It’s a bold 7.2% American strong ale.
Mugi“Bold” makes me picture beer doing push-ups! And Karl Strauss’s golden ale is 9.6% ABV? That’s serious business.
Hop BroDespite its golden color, it’s rich, with bourbon-barrel notes reminiscent of coffee, oak, and whiskey. A bourbon barrel simply means it was aged in a former whiskey cask.
MugiWow! Golden on the outside, like an adults-only secret clubhouse inside. I’m also eyeing the strawberry sour ale.
Hop BroThere’s Nara Brewing’s Watermelon Head and Minoh Beer × Yorocco’s Compass too, while the IPA lineup includes Isekadoya’s Jungle Fantasy. Finish with Pearl Stout at last if you like.
MugiWith lager, IPA, and dark beer all available, my stomach and mood need a strategy meeting! I really want to try a tasting flight!
Craft Beer Spot Hathor, a beer pub in Kyobashi, Osaka, has published its draft beer list for September 9, 2026. Opened in 2015, the venue offers 16 taps of craft beer alongside house-smoked food.
The newly tapped beer is Strike Pilsner from Shimanami Brewery. Brewed entirely with malt, it is designed as a classic, straight-ahead lager: familiar, balanced and easy to return to. The beer is listed at 5.5% ABV.
The recommended selections cover a much broader range. Arrogant Bastard Ale from Arrogant Consortia (Stone) is a 7.2% American strong ale known for its assertive character and historic role in the style. 37th Anniversary Golden Ale from Karl Strauss is listed at 9.6% ABV and offers a rich profile built around bourbon-barrel aging, coffee, oak and whiskey-like warmth, with coffee beans, cacao nibs and vanilla beans contributing further depth.
The remaining taps include Asahi Beer’s Super Dry and Daisen G Beer’s Ginyu Bijin. Fruit-focused options include Nara Brewing’s Watermelon Head, Minoh Beer × Yorocco’s Kompas, and Island Brewery’s Strawberry Sour Ale.
IPA drinkers can choose from Ise Kadoya Beer’s Jungle Fantasy, Ise Kadoya Beer × Himitsu Beer’s Neko no Nomimono, and Unsung’s Shatterspike. Island Brewery’s Pearl Stout rounds out the list with a dark-beer option.
From a familiar pilsner to high-strength ale, fruit beer, hop-forward IPA and stout, Hathor’s lineup offers plenty of routes for a focused tasting session. Availability may change without notice.
