Hop BroAt Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Osaka's Kyobashi, there's an event on May 31 that lines up only pale ales. It's titled "Spring Breeze and 16 Types of Pale Ale," and tapping starts at 3:00 p.m., with drinks available until 11:00 p.m.
MugiWait, 16 pale ales!? If that many are lined up, my brain won't be able to keep up with the beer shelf!
Hop BroWhat's great is that it crosses breweries from Japan and overseas. It includes Daisen G Beer, Shiga Kogen, Ise Kadoya, Yoho, plus Deschutes and Sierra Nevada, so the range for a tasting comparison is really wide.
MugiWhoa! But what kind of beer is pale ale, anyway? I've heard the name, but in my head I only have a fuzzy idea of it...!
Hop BroTo put it simply, it's a style with hop aroma, a moderate bitterness, and a malt sweetness and body layered on top. If you line up the differences in aroma and bitterness like this time, you can really tell that even within pale ale, each one has a completely different character.
MugiI see! But what's a real ale? You just suddenly dropped an advanced-level term on me!
Hop BroGood question. Real ale is, simply put, a serving style from the UK where the beer is finished in the cask, and because the gas pressure is gentle, the mouthfeel tends to be softer. This time, Shiga Kogen's DPA Real Ale ver, plus real ale versions from Minoh Beer, Beer Herun, and Oni Densetsu Beer will also be on tap, so you can enjoy the differences between the same labels too.
MugiWait, the serving method changes the beer!? That's less a drink and more of an experiment!
Hop BroMore than an experiment, it's a tasting paradise. For example, things like Y Market's Overdrive Pale Ale and Miyazaki Hideji Beer’s Shinkan no Pale Ale stand out just from their names, and that's part of the fun.
MugiWhat is that, there are some that win just based on the name! Hinemoshu and Kinoni Pale Ale Real Ale ver, too - the moment I see the menu, I want to order them!
Hop BroAnd Hathor is a beer pub in Kyobashi that normally focuses on craft beer. Since it opens at 3:00 p.m. on Sundays, it's a good place to slowly chase the differences in aroma from the afternoon, and it still has the feeling of a weekend event.
MugiI can't take it anymore - just hearing 3:00 p.m. tapping makes my throat remember beer! This is the kind of day that makes you want to go to Kyobashi together to check out the aroma and bitterness of pale ales!
