Craft Beer Spot Hathor Opens Three Kegs, Featuring 12 Drafts Including Mugi no Manimani
Osaka's Kyobashi beer pub, Craft Beer Spot Hathor, announced in a April 6 post that it has three kegs on tap today. In addition to three labels from Isekadoya Beer, Minoh Beer, and Shiga Kogen Beer, it also introduced a total of 12 draft beers.
Hop BroSo, Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Osaka's Kyobashi opened three kegs all at once in its April 6 post. And with 12 drafts on tap in total, even the time spent deciding in front of the taps sounds fun.
MugiWhoa, just hearing three kegs opened gets me excited! If there are 12 kinds, it's basically a mini beer festival!
Hop BroThe new taps this time are Mugi no Manimani, Honey Saison, and House IPA Real Ale ver. Getting Isekadoya Beer, Minoh Beer, and Shiga Kogen Beer all together is a very strong lineup.
MugiWhat is that! What exactly is Real Ale ver? It sounds way too advanced just from the name!
Hop BroReal ale is, broadly speaking, a serving style that tends to bring out a softer mouthfeel. The carbonation feels a little more subdued, making it easier to sense the aroma and the shape of the malt, so it's perfect for enjoying the different expression of Shiga Kogen Beer.
MugiOhhh! So that means you can do a same-brewery comparison. Stuff like this makes you want to say, "I like this one better!"
Hop BroExactly. And if you look at the whole lineup, it ranges from lager to stout. From a light drink like Braumeister to a rich beer like Peanut Butter Milk Stout, today's range is pretty wide.
MugiThere's even a peach ale!? Kanpai Peach Ale is the kind of name that makes me want to toast just from the title!
Hop BroThat's what's interesting about it. There are aromatic styles like saison and peach ale, so you can play around with food pairings too. You can start light, detour to an IPA partway through, and finish with a stout.
MugiAnd Hathor is a standing-style place based around table seating, right? I like how it doesn't feel too formal. The barrier to just stopping by for one drink is low!
Hop BroExactly. It's handy to remember it as a place where you can drop in for a casual drink in Kyobashi, and with three new kegs today, there are plenty of choices. This is definitely making me want a glass, too.
MugiTotally! It's completely on my list as a drink-tonight candidate. I'll go with Mugi no Manimani, and Hop-nii can have the real ale, cheers!
