CraftBeerSpot Hathor taps Isekadoya Brown Ale and more on July 22
CraftBeerSpot Hathor in Kyobashi, Osaka posted its July 22 draft lineup. The featured pour is Isekadoya Beer Brown Ale, and the 16-tap board also includes Minoh Beer x Takamura Coffee IPA and a broad mix of styles.
Hop BroKyobashi’s Craft Beer Spot Hathor has a seriously good draft list for July 22. There are 16 taps, and today’s headliner is Isekadoya Beer’s Brown Ale.
MugiWait, Isekadoya’s Brown Ale already sounds delicious. Are brown beers supposed to taste sweet?
Hop BroNot just sweet, the key is that malty richness at the center. You get caramel and chocolate-like notes first, then citrusy aroma from Citra and Amarillo comes in behind it.
MugiHold on, Citra and Amarillo are what exactly? People? A band? This suddenly sounds like a festival lineup!
Hop BroThey’re hop varieties. Basically, they bring that citrusy aroma layer, like a bit of orange peel lifting the finish.
MugiOhhh! So it has body but doesn’t get too heavy? Makes you want another sip sounds like a very dangerous compliment!
Hop BroAnd that’s not the only highlight. There’s also a Coffee IPA from Minoh Beer and Takamura, built with Pink Bourbon beans for floral notes, caramel, and a faint tropical touch.
MugiWhat is that! Pink Bourbon is already an intense name, and now it’s coffee plus IPA? That’s way too much information in one glass!
Hop BroIt’s not chaos, it’s precision. They’ve even got Aurora Hoppyalis IPA from Karl Strauss, which is perfect if you love bold San Diego-style hop aroma.
MugiAnd you can pair it with smoked food, plus choose from lagers to dark beer with the full 16 taps? I need a game plan before I even walk in.
Hop BroThat plan is solid. I’d start by enjoying the brown ale finish, then move into the Coffee IPA. Honestly, now I really want a pint too.
MugiDeal! With smoked dishes on the side, you do the explaining and I’ll handle the giant reactions. Reading this made me want to drink there right now!
CraftBeerSpot Hathor, a beer pub in Kyobashi, Osaka, shared its July 22 draft beer lineup. With 16 taps and smoked food on offer, the bar continues to present a style-diverse selection that ranges from lager and wheat beer to IPA and black beer.
Featured pours
Isekadoya Beer Brown Ale is the recommended beer of the day. It is built on malt depth and complexity, with caramel and chocolate notes up front and citrus-driven aroma from Citra and Amarillo following behind. The beer is described as full-bodied, with firm bitterness and a finish that stays clean enough to invite another sip.
Another highlight is Minoh Beer x Takamura Coffee IPA. This collaboration with Takamura, a well-known Osaka coffee shop, has been brewed as a recurring coffee-beer project with changing bean selections. This batch uses "COLOMBIA FOREST Pink Bourbon Creation," bringing floral nuance, caramel, and a subtle tropical character.
Also on tap is Aurora Hoppyalis IPA / Karl Strauss, a beer inspired by San Diego's hop-forward brewing culture.
