CraftBeerSpot Hathor in Osaka highlights 12 draft beers, including Miyazaki Hideji Beer’s Kurikuro
CraftBeerSpot Hathor, a beer pub in Kyobashi, Osaka, shared its draft lineup on Instagram. The post features 12 beers, led by Miyazaki Hideji Beer’s Kurikuro, and reflects the bar’s 16-tap setup and house-smoked food.
Hop BroToday's topic is Hathor's 12 draft taps. Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Kyobashi posted the day's lineup, and the fresh keg is Kurikuro from Miyazaki Hideji Beer.
MugiWhat! The name Kurikuro already sounds intense! Is it sweet like a chestnut dessert, or dark and bitter? My brain can't keep up!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. Miyazaki Hideji Beer made Kurikuro as a dark beer with roasty depth and a rounded chestnut note. It's not candy-sweet, more toasty and layered.
MugiWow! But if the list runs from lemon radler to dark beer, that's a huge swing, right? My stomach is holding an emergency meeting here!
Hop BroExactly. You've got lemon sour, Meyer lemon radler, lime session, plum gose, IPA and more, so it really stretches from citrus to deep dark. It's built for tasting across styles.
MugiHold on, Plum Gose? What is that supposed to be? A spell? A juice? The transfer student of beer styles?
Hop BroGose is basically a tart beer with salinity. Sounds technical, but think of the snap of salted lemon or pickled plum, and with plum in it, the fruit makes it even easier to enjoy.
MugiNow I want that. And they even have real ale Kin-Oni Pale Ale? Hathor is not messing around. Slap 'real' on it and suddenly it sounds like a movie sequel!
Hop BroReal ale means soft natural carbonation and a gentler pour, closer to British pub service. Hathor backs that up with 16 taps and house-smoked food, which is a strong pairing move.
MugiSixteen taps and smoked snacks? That's after-work and weekend bait for sure! Open from 5 p.m. on weekdays and 3 p.m. on weekends and holidays too.
Hop BroAnd this time you've also got Wine Not?, Tsuyogin, Witt Natt IPA, This Is The Way, and Primal Elements, so the 12-beer range is seriously broad. I'd start bright and finish with Kurikuro.
MugiThat lineup wins. I want to finish with house-smoked bites and Kurikuro and just soak it in. Reading this already makes me want to run to Kyobashi for a drink!
