CraftBeerSpot Hathor pours Kurikuro and 11 other drafts on Aug. 5
CraftBeerSpot Hathor in Kyobashi, Osaka, posted its August 5 draft lineup. Highlights include Miyazaki Hideji Beer’s Kurikuro, a revived Minoh Beer x Brewski IPA, and a barrel-aged blueberry blend.
Hop BroKyobashi is dangerous today, because Hathor's Aug 5 taps are seriously loaded. Dark beer, fruit beer, IPA, lager, the full spread across 16 taps.
MugiWhat! Twelve beers on tap already sounds impossible, and it's that wide-ranging too? My stomach is holding a strategy meeting before we even walk in!
Hop BroThe first showstopper is Kurikuro by Miyazaki Hideji. It's a dark beer brewed with chestnuts from Miyazaki, layered with roasted malt aroma, elegant chestnut notes, and a hefty 9% body.
MugiChestnuts in a dark beer is too much information! Is this dessert, booze, or autumn arriving early with no warning?
Hop BroThat's exactly why it works. Roasted malt just means the grain is toasted deeply, so you get coffee-like and bittersweet caramel notes, then the chestnut adds a round, gentle aroma on top.
MugiOhhh, so it's like a roasted chestnut latte in my head now! But 9% means I need to sip carefully or my legs are going to turn into Kyobashi Station.
Hop BroFor the recommended picks, Vitt Natt IPA is a must. It's a re-brewed collab between Minoh Beer and Sweden's BREWSKI, bursting with citrus and tropical aromas, while oats and wheat soften the texture.
MugiWait, what is a re-brewed collab!? And oats plus wheat make it softer? Has beer entered the cushion business now?
Hop BroThink of re-brewing as rebuilding a recipe with intent. And oats and wheat help create a juicy mouthfeel, making those mango and passionfruit-like aromas feel even bigger.
MugiMy mouth is busy just listening! If they also have barrel-aged blueberry beer from Firestone Walker, I want that sweet-tart, tannic one too, and with the house-smoked snacks I'm clearly not going home.
Hop BroExactly. It's basically a tasting-flight paradise. Plum Gose, Kin-Oni Pale Ale, lemony beers, and I can already see us circling back to Kurikuro at the end.
MugiThen it's settled. Let's take it slow in Kyobashi tonight. From the first pour to the last, now I want to drink everything at Hathor!
