CraftBeerSpot Hathor taps Minoh Tea Bitter and Green Flash West Coast IPA on 6/24
CraftBeerSpot Hathor in Osaka’s Kyobashi district posted a June 24 draft board that ranges from Minoh Beer’s tea-inflected bitter to Green Flash’s classic West Coast IPA, alongside lagers, fruit beers, and stout.
Hop BroKyobashi is looking good today. The 16 taps on June 24 at Craft Beer Spot Hathor are stacked, and the headliners are Minoh Beer’s tea bitter and Green Flash’s IPA, with everything from lager to stout in the mix.
MugiWait, tea bitter? Is that beer, or did afternoon tea sneak onto the tap list?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. Minoh Beer’s “Koucha Bitter Real Ale ver” has bergamot-like aroma from Earl Grey, plus soft malt richness and a gentle bitterness, so it sounds calm and food-friendly.
MugiWhoa, but Real Ale ver means what exactly? A beer with extra realism?
Hop BroThe name sounds dramatic, but it basically means softer natural carbonation and a more traditional way of serving it. Less fizzy attack, more time to enjoy the aroma and texture.
MugiOkay, got it! Then Green Flash’s West Coast IPA is the total opposite, right? More hops, more punch?
Hop BroPretty much. With five hops, it throws out pine and ripe citrus notes, some floral character too, and still keeps that firm, classic Green Flash bitterness.
MugiWhat is this lineup! Tea and bergamot, then pine and citrus... that’s a full aroma roller coaster. And they’ve got house-smoked food too? My nose needs a break!
Hop BroNo break, only range. Hathor also has lagers like Yuuya Boys IPL Jamboree SP Ver and Yebisu, a white beer like Peach and Apricot Duet Weizen, and Left Hand’s milk stout, so the place is built for broad tasting flights in one stop.
MugiSo from light and easy to dark and rich, it’s basically a full-course beer night in one pub. Even I could pick by mood and still win.
Hop BroExactly. From a meal-friendly pint to fruity sour IPA and then a stout finish, the drinking flow is really well designed. Even from a bar manager’s perspective, that’s a strong lineup.
MugiThat settles it, I want a toast right now. I’m starting with the tea bitter, then chasing it with the West Coast IPA, and heading for Kyobashi hungry.
