Craft Beer Spot Hathor taps three new kegs, refreshes 12 taps
Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Kyobashi, Osaka, announced three new kegs on tap and a 12-tap draft lineup. The selection includes Minoh Beer, Ise Kadoya Beer, Oni Densetsu Beer, Revision, and more, and the food menu has also been revamped with photos.
Hop BroHathor in Kyobashi has tapped three new kegs, and the tap list has jumped all at once to 12. Today's lineup is pretty aggressive.
MugiWhat? Not just three kegs? That's already a seriously intense lineup. With 12 taps, I'd probably get lost choosing!
Hop BroThe new pours are Session Black IPA, Pale Ale, and W-IPA, and the lineup really brings out the character of Minoh Beer and Ise Kadoya Beer.
MugiWhat does "session" mean? Does it mean it's light but aromatic? And Black IPA sounds kind of dark and strong!
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it means the alcohol is kept down for drinkability, while still retaining IPA-like hop character. When roasted dark malt is added, a bit of coffee-like character also comes through.
MugiOh! So W-IPA Real Ale is something like the hops are turned up to double? It sounds strong just from the name!
Hop BroPretty much. W-IPA Real Ale has the power of a double IPA, and what's interesting is that the real ale format tends to give it a softer mouthfeel.
MugiWhat is that! And with Oni Densetsu and Revision on the board too, it suddenly feels like an international beer exchange!
Hop BroExactly. The strength of this lineup is that you can compare a wide range of styles, from Edel Pils to Onikaku TY, Kuro Oni Stout, and Watt Watt Watt.
MugiAnd with the food menu renewed too, if the snacks have photos, it'll be easier to choose. I feel like I could spend forever deciding whether to pick the beer first or the food first!
Hop BroThe hours are also convenient, since it's open from 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 3 p.m. on weekends and holidays. It's the kind of place that makes you want to drop in casually and stay a while.
MugiNow I really want to go! I'll start my first drink in Kyobashi at Hathor, and seriously debate which keg to go after first!
The beer pub Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Kyobashi, Osaka, updated its draft lineup, announcing that "today's openings are three kegs." The newly connected beers are three types: Session Black IPA Real Ale ver, Pale Ale, and W-IPA Real Ale ver. All are from well-known producers such as Minoh Beer and Ise Kadoya Beer, offering a lineup with strong character.
The tap list for the day totals 12 varieties. In addition to the standard Edel Pils, the lineup included Kyobashi Helles ~Suspended Sentence~ / T.Y. Harbor x Hathor, Mugi no Manimani, Honey Saison, SEYA!, and W-IPA Real Ale ver, which appear to be collaboration beers carrying the shop's name. Also on tap were Oni Densetsu Beer's Yuya Boys IPL - Jamboree SP Ver, Onikaku TY Imperial Red Ale, Kuro Oni Stout Kato SP Ver. Mk2, and even Watt Watt Watt from the U.S.-based Revision, making this a lineup with a wide range of tasting options.
The post also announced that the food menu had been "renewed," emphasizing that it is now easier to view thanks to photos. At present, the shop is operating as standing service at table seats, and that format will remain in place until chairs are installed. While beer remains the main attraction, the atmosphere is very Hathor-like, easygoing and well suited to dropping in for a drink and a few light bites.
Business hours are Monday through Friday from 5:00 p.m. to midnight, and Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays from 3:00 p.m. to midnight. Since it opens early on Sundays, it is a place worth keeping in mind when you want to start drinking craft beer in Kyobashi. With this update, it is definitely worth checking out as a spot where you can enjoy both the latest tap changes and the food.
