CraftBeerSpot Hathor posts Aug. 31 draft lineup with Braumeister and Pearl Stout
The Osaka Kyobashi beer pub shared its Aug. 31 tap list, led by Kirin's Braumeister, a lemon-peel lager, and Island Brewery's Pearl Stout. The lineup spans lager, fruity styles, IPA, and dark beer.
Hop BroToday, Hathor's tap list is the real headline. On August 31, they've got 12 beers running, from lagers to dark pours, so the range is seriously wide.
MugiWhat, twelve beers at once? Is there a festival hiding behind the taps? Which one is the star?
Hop BroThe marquee pour is Kirin's Braumeister for sure. It's a rich lager with elegant hop aroma and a mellow edge from long maturation.
MugiHold on, that hop aroma thing means what exactly? I pictured someone tossing a flower bouquet into the tank!
Hop BroNo bouquet attack here. A long-matured lager rests cold and slow, so the aroma settles in and the bitterness comes off smoother and rounder.
MugiOooh, then Doctor's Lemon Lager sounds like the perfect opener. The name alone feels like a science fair with citrus!
Hop BroExactly. The lemon-peel aroma keeps it bright, and because it's a light lager, it should go down super clean from the first sip.
MugiBut I'm stuck on the akoya-pearl stout. A dark beer with shellfish extract sounds like the ocean filed a flavor report!
Hop BroThat's Island Brewery's Pearl Stout. The akoya extract umami should layer onto the roast and add a savory depth, which sounds great with Hathor's house-smoked food.
MugiAnd then there are Arrogant Bastard Ale, 37th Anniversary Golden Ale, and Weiss IPA too. The name power level is completely ridiculous!
Hop BroArrogant Bastard is a big American strong ale: more malt weight, more hop punch, more attitude. If you want easier food pairings, Yorimichi no Lager or Locomotion make sense too.
MugiI'm sold. Let's do a Kyobashi tasting run: lemon first, Braumeister in the middle, then finish with the stout.
Hop BroThat route is dangerous in the best way. Add smoked snacks on the side and I could stay under those 16 taps all night.
