CraftBeerSpot Hathor in Kyobashi highlights Isekadoya Brown Ale on its July 21 draft board
CraftBeerSpot Hathor, a beer pub in Osaka's Kyobashi, has published its July 21 draft lineup. The 16-tap bar is pouring Isekadoya's Brown Ale, Minoh Beer x Takamura's Coffee IPA, and Karl Strauss's Aurora Hoppyalis IPA alongside a wide range of other styles.
Hop BroKyobashi is looking strong today with Hathor's 16 taps. On the July 21 draft list, they have ISEKADOYA BEER's Brown Ale, and honestly the lineup feels unfair.
MugiWhat! Isekadoya's Brown Ale already sounds brown and super grown-up. It suddenly feels like a cafe menu!
Hop BroExactly, and this one is an American brown ale. You get caramel and chocolate-like malt, then orangey notes from Citra and Amarillo on top.
MugiWait, what is malt aroma supposed to mean? The second you say that, my brain thinks we're back in science class!
Hop BroIt's the toasty, roasted side of the grain. Caramel and chocolate notes come up first, and then citrusy hops keep it from feeling too heavy.
MugiNo way! Then what happens with that Coffee IPA from Minoh Beer and Takamura? My brain can't tell if that's beer or breakfast!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. They use COLOMBIA FOREST Pink Bourbon Creation, and the white-flower aroma is what makes it pop. Then you get sweet caramel and a light tropical touch, so the coffee doesn't steamroll everything.
MugiWhat even is that! Pink Bourbon beans sound way too stylish. That sounds less like coffee and more like a fashion label!
Hop BroAnd they've also got Karl Strauss's Aurora Hoppyalis IPA, so you get that San Diego IPA punch too. There are lagers, fruit beers, and dark beers, and the house-smoked food gives you no escape.
MugiSixteen taps and smoked food is ridiculous. This is a perfect tasting night, and now I want the Brown Ale, then the Coffee IPA, then Hoppyalis IPA in order!
Hop BroThat flow actually makes sense. Start with the Brown Ale for the malt, move to the Coffee IPA, then finish with Hoppyalis IPA for a climb in aroma.
MugiDone. Let's hold tonight's beer summit at Hathor in Kyobashi. Just reading this made me thirsty, and now I absolutely want a pint!
CraftBeerSpot Hathor in Osaka's Kyobashi has posted its July 21 draft beer lineup. True to its identity as a 16-tap beer pub with house-smoked food, the bar is offering a broad spread of styles, from malt-driven ales and hop-forward IPAs to lagers, fruit beers, and a black beer.
The featured pours are `Brown Ale / Isekadoya Beer`, `Coffee IPA / Minoh Beer x Takamura`, and `Aurora Hoppyalis IPA / Karl Strauss`. The Brown Ale is described as an American brown ale built on malt depth and complexity, with caramel and chocolate notes layered with orange and citrus aromas from Citra and Amarillo. Coffee IPA is a collaboration with Takamura, a popular Osaka coffee specialist, and this batch uses `COLOMBIA FOREST Pink Bourbon Creation`, bringing delicate floral notes, sweet caramel, and a subtle tropical impression. Aurora Hoppyalis IPA is presented as a San Diego-style IPA with pronounced hop aroma and a history of moving from limited release to the core lineup.
The rest of the board includes `Super Dry / Asahi Beer`, `Haikara Pils / Minoh Beer`, `Hoegaarden White / Hoegaarden`, `Hop Field of the Galaxy / Good Hops`, `Honey Saison / Minoh Beer`, `Shinshu Heion Apple IPA / Shigakogen Beer`, `Lime Session / Shonan Beer`, `House IPA Real Ale Ver / Shigakogen Beer`, and `Velvet Merkin 2017 / Firestone Walker`. It is a lineup that invites comparison across malt character, hop expression, and finish, especially alongside the bar's smoked dishes.
