CraftBeerSpot Hathor lines up 16 taps on July 22 with Brown Ale and Coffee IPA
CraftBeerSpot Hathor in Kyobashi, Osaka, has published its July 22 draft lineup. The 16-tap bar is serving a wide range of styles, including Brown Ale from Isekadoya Beer and Coffee IPA made with Minoh Beer and Takamura.
Hop BroToday in Kyobashi, Craft Beer Spot Hathor dropped a 16-tap lineup that is seriously strong. On July 22, they are pouring everything from brown ale to coffee IPA, and the range is great.
MugiWhat! Sixteen taps is the kind of choice that melts my brain! So which one is the headliner?
Hop BroThe first standout is Isekadoya Beer’s Brown Ale. It is an American brown with caramel and chocolate-like malt depth, layered with citrus aroma from Citra and Amarillo.
MugiHold on, malt depth sounds like a science class all of a sudden! What does that actually taste like?
Hop BroIt is basically the toasty, slightly sweet backbone from the grain. Think cookie-like richness with an orangey aroma on top, so it stays flavorful without feeling too heavy.
MugiOhh, that actually sounds approachable! But Minoh Beer × Takamura doing a Coffee IPA is wild. Is this breakfast or last call?
Hop BroThat is the fun part. It keeps the character of the coffee beans while letting the IPA bitterness run alongside it instead of crashing into it. The Osaka collaboration angle makes it even better.
MugiRun alongside it sounds cool, but does coffee and IPA really not start arguing in my mouth? I feel like I should book them a meeting room!
Hop BroWhen it is designed well, it works. And the list does not stop there: the classic hoppy Aurora Hoppyalis IPA, High Collar Pils, Hoegaarden White, Apple IPA, and even Velvet Merkin 2017 are all in the mix.
MugiSo they have light lagers, dark beer, and house-smoked food too? That is basically tasting-flight heaven! Can I start making my first-sip face on the way to Kyobashi?
Hop BroYou should. Hathor on July 22 has the kind of depth where the first pour is a dilemma. Starting with the brown ale or attacking the coffee IPA first is a serious strategy discussion.
MugiDecision made, I am drawn to the roasty side, so it is brown ale first for me! But I also want the coffee IPA next to it, and honestly we are both going to fall for this whole tap list.
