Hop BroToday's headline is Hathor's fresh draft list. Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Kyobashi posted its July 26 taps, and they're opening with Yebisu and Nomclassic Porter.
MugiWait, a 16-tap beer pub pouring 12 different beers? And with house-smoked snacks too? My stomach is already applauding.
Hop BroExactly, and starting with classic Yebisu lager is smart. It's all-malt, bright gold, and leaves this rounded finish that makes the first pint easy.
MugiOkay, then what job does Nomclassic Porter have at the end? Dark beer always looks like the final boss to me!
Hop BroThat's the fun part: an English porter doesn't have to be heavy. This one has a light body and gentle roast, so it works beautifully as a calm finish.
MugiHold on, what is roastiness exactly? Is it basically the beer version of walking past a bakery?
Hop BroHonestly, that's close; it's toasty, roasted aroma more than sheer bitterness. Think coffee or dark bread, but this one stays soft, so it won't steamroll you.
MugiThen I could drink that! But the Coffee IPA sounds like a scheduling conflict. Is my mouth supposed to host a coffee break and a hop party at once?
Hop BroSomehow they get along, because the beans bring a floral coffee note with gentle sweetness. Then you've got Isekadoya's Brown Ale for caramel plus citrus, and Karl Strauss's Aurora Hoppyalis IPA if you want aroma turned all the way up.
MugiWow, then I want to start with Yebisu, hop across the IPAs, and land on porter at the end. Add smoked food and that's basically a perfect Kyobashi route.
Hop BroThat's the move, and smoked pairings included make the whole lineup click. From lager to white to black beer, Hathor set this up so you can taste the full map in one stop.
MugiSold, I am at take me to Kyobashi levels now. First pour to last pour, this list genuinely makes me want a drink.
