CraftBeerSpot Hathor taps Firestone Walker's Sunglider
On June 13, CraftBeerSpot Hathor in Osaka's Kyobashi area added one new keg: Firestone Walker's Sunglider. The 16-tap beer pub also serves house-smoked food, making it a straightforward stop for a crisp lager and a bite.
Hop BroToday in Kyobashi, Osaka, Hatohol just tapped a fresh keg of Sun Glider from Firestone Walker. That is extremely well-timed for hot weather.
MugiWait, what! Firestone Walker's new pour already sounds like a summer superhero. What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt's a Helles-style golden lager inspired by traditional pale lagers from Munich, so it drinks crisp, light, and super clean.
MugiWhat is a Helles style? That suddenly sounded less like beer and more like a magic spell.
Hop BroIn simple terms, it's a Munich-style lager with soft malt up front and a clean snap at the end. This one adds floral notes and gentle bitterness.
MugiWhoa, grassy hop character sounds like somebody bottled a meadow. I really hope that's the good version of grassy.
Hop BroNo lawn-eating required. It just means a fresh green aroma. And Hatohol is known for 16 taps and house-smoked food, which sounds perfect with this lager.
MugiThat rules! Starting with a light lager and smoked snacks feels like the correct first pint. Are the other taps stacked too?
Hop BroVery stacked. They've got Black Label, Yona Yona Pale Ale, Hopping Shachi, Hop Nyaon 12th Fleet, Pleiades, and Old Rasputin, so it's built for lager to IPA progression.
MugiThat bench is deep! Start with Sun Glider, then maybe Tono no Kaze or the peach-and-apricot duet weizen after that... the drinking order is fun all by itself.
Hop BroExactly. You open with Sun Glider, then swing hoppy or dark depending on your mood. I'm at ready to toast right now levels.
New tap
CraftBeerSpot Hathor's June 13 draft update featured a single new keg: Sunglider / Firestone Walker. The beer is described as a Helles-style golden lager inspired by traditional Munich pale lager, with floral and grassy hop notes and a soft bitterness. It is framed as a crisp, light beer that fits the early-summer season.
Hathor has been operating in Osaka's Kyobashi area since 2015 and presents itself as a beer pub with 16 taps and house-smoked food. That makes the bar an easy match for beer drinkers who want both draft variety and food that can stand up to the lineup.
The day's tap list also included familiar and style-spanning options such as Black Label / Sapporo Beer, Hopping Shachi / Y.Market, Yona Yona Pale Ale / Yo-Ho Brewing, and Shinkan no Pale Ale / Miyazaki Hideji Beer. In the IPA section, Hop Nyaon 12th Fleet / Isekadoya Beer, Kozaru IPA Real Ale Ver / Minoh Beer, Pleiades / Uchu Brewing, and Live Current IPA / Stone were on offer, while the dark beer slot featured Old Rasputin / North Coast.
The recommended beers also highlighted Tono no Kaze / Good Hops and Momoka to Kyoko no Duet Weizen / Repubrew. With a crisp lager at the center and a broad mix of pale ales, IPAs, and darker beers around it, the list was built for drinkers who want to move from a refreshing first pint into more hop-driven or fuller-bodied choices.
