At CraftBeerSpot Hathor, a beer pub in Kyobashi, Osaka, the latest post announced a single new keg: `Strawberry Sour Ale` / `Island Brewery`. It is the beer to watch in a lineup that balances familiar staples and more characterful styles.

The draft list for the day was broad. It included `Super Dry` / `Asahi Beer`, `Doctor's Munich Helles` / `Twin Peaks Mountain`, `Where the Wind Begins` / `Paint Palette`, `Compass` / `Minoh Beer × Yorocco`, `Cat Drink` / `Ise Kadoya Brewery`, and `Jungle Fantasy` / `Ise Kadoya Brewery`.

Also on tap were `Ginyu Bijin` / `Daisen G Beer`, `Shatter Spike` / `Unsung`, `Pearl Stout` / `Island Brewery`, `Arrogant Bastard Ale` / `Arrogant Consortium [Stone]`, and `37th Anniversary Golden Ale` / `Karl Strauss`. In other words, the bar offered a clear path from lager and sour beer to stout, American ale, and golden ale.

Hathor is located in the Fine Dai-2 Building 1F on Higashinodacho, Kyobashi. For beer fans who like reading a tap list and deciding where to start, it is the kind of place that makes the first pour part of the fun.
