Hop BroOsaka's Kyobashi beer pub Craft Beer Spot Hathor has a pretty hot tap update for May 13. Today, the headline beers are Minoh Beer's "Papa Zaru Lager" and Trillium's pilsner.
MugiWhat! Papa Zaru Lager already sounds fascinating! A lager with "Papa" and "zaru" in the name is a lot of information, isn't it?
Hop BroBut the flavor is nicely restrained. With a biscuity malt character and a gentle barley sweetness, it's not flashy but quietly delicious, a dark lager that rewards you with every sip.
MugiA dark lager means a dark beer? But lagers are supposed to have that clean, crisp drinkability thing, right?
Hop BroExactly. Lager fermentation and maturation are easy to keep clean and crisp. What's interesting is that it can be dark yet still light on its feet, and the point is that it's much easier to drink than it looks.
MugiWow, then I'm curious about the Trillium one too! But what kind of beer does a pilsner actually taste like?
Hop BroTrillium's "Pilsner" has an aroma like bread crust, with a good balance of malt sweetness and delicate bitterness. The finish snaps cleanly, and it's the kind of beer lager fans can't resist.
MugiThe bread crust line makes me hungry all of a sudden! And if there are 16 taps, won't just choosing be enough to get you tipsy?
Hop BroAnd Hathor also has house-smoked dishes, so it doesn't stop at beer. They also have IPAs, stouts, and fruit beers, so you can change your approach depending on your mood.
MugiOh, that's the best! I'd start with a lager to see how it goes, then maybe play around with a strongly aromatic IPA. Add smoked dishes and it's basically a win, right?
Hop BroExactly. Today they've got a broad lineup from lagers to IPAs, so it's the kind of selection that makes you want to take your time and compare. A night like this in Kyobashi is hard to pass up.
