Craft Beer Spot Hathor announces one keg tapped, with 12 draft beers available
The beer pub "Craft Beer Spot Hathor" in Osaka's Kyobashi announced today's tap lineup on Instagram. It lined up 12 drafts, from Black Label to Ise Kadoya Beer, Minoh Beer, Oni Densetsu Beer, and Revision.
Hop BroKyobashi's beer pub, Craft Beer Spot Hathor, has put out another interesting daily tap lineup. This time, it announced on Instagram with the line, "Today's tap opening is one keg!!!!!!!" and it really feels like the kind of aggressive move you'd expect from a 16-tap bar.
MugiWait, one keg tapped is that big of a deal!? And even though it has 16 taps, that one keg somehow feels like the star of the show, which makes me curious!
Hop BroExactly, and the lineup is strong. It starts with Black Label / Sapporo Breweries to make it easy to get into, then stacks several Ise Kadoya Beer releases after that.
MugiWhat is that, 12 draft beers is already a lot, but what's the strategy behind having so many from the same brewery?
Hop BroIt's a lineup meant for side-by-side tasting. For example, Ise Kadoya Beer has West Coast Pilsner, Mugi no Manimani, Pale Ale, and Hat Trick TDH Hazy IPA, showing a range from pilsner to hazy IPA.
MugiWhoa! Just the name TDH Hazy IPA makes me feel tipsy! And having a pilsner and a hazy IPA on the same list is such a weird personality clash, isn't it?
Hop BroThat's what makes it fun. The Osaka beers are there too, with Minoh Beer's Session Black IPA Real Ale ver, Blooming IPA, and SEYA! on the list, so it hits for people who want to drink local.
MugiReal ale, what even is that! Session Black IPA sounds dark and heavy, but session means light? My brain is tangled up!
Hop BroGood question. Session means it's built for drinkability, Black IPA refers to the color and roasty character, and real ale is a serving style that lets you enjoy natural cask-conditioned carbonation. In other words, something can look black and still go down smoothly.
MugiSo a beer that's dark but easygoing? That's unfair! And then there are Oni Densetsu Beer's Oni Kaku TY Imperial Red Ale and Kurooni Stout Kato SP Ver. Mk2 too - it's basically a map for an adventure!
Hop BroOn top of that, there's Hokkaido's Yuyaboys IPL - Jamboree SP Ver and the American What What What / Revision, so you can travel in one go from lager to stout. The shop also offers house-smoked food, opens at 5 p.m. on Wednesdays, and runs the table seats as standing service, so the atmosphere really pushes you toward drinking.
MugiWow, it makes me want to compare beers in Kyobashi...! If I have a drink with some smoked snacks, I might never make it home.
Hop BroRight? This is basically a daily tap tracking mission. Check what's on at Hathor today, start with something light, and before you know it, you're already on your second pint.
