CraftBeerSpot Hathor in Kyobashi Opens Shigakogen Beer’s No.10
CraftBeerSpot Hathor in Osaka-Kyobashi has published its draft lineup for August 12. The selection ranges from Shigakogen Beer’s No.10 IPA to fruit-forward specials, classic lagers, and a black beer.
Hop BroKyobashi's Craft Beer Spot Hathor just dropped its August 12 draft list, and the headline pour is Shiga Kogen Beer "Sono Ju".
MugiWhat! That name already sounds powerful. The tenth IPA feels like the final boss of the tap list!
Hop BroExactly. It was brewed for the brewery's tenth anniversary, and even at 7.5% with IBU 75, the crisp touch from sake rice keeps it really drinkable.
MugiHold on, IBU 75 means what exactly? Why does bitterness suddenly sound like a test score?!
Hop BroIt is basically a bitterness scale. The number is bold, but the aroma is so clean that bright hop aroma carries it in smoothly.
MugiOhhh, so it is not just bitter, it is stylish-bitter. And Hathor has 16 taps on today? That is menu panic territory!
Hop BroFully menu panic. You have lagers to dark beer, and one standout is Firestone Walker's Blueberry and Marionberry.
MugiWhat is that! The name alone is fancy. But wild yeast saison and French oak? The class got hard fast!
Hop BroIn plain words, it is a layered beer with different bases, fruit, and wood character, basically barrel-aged fruit complexity in a glass.
MugiWow, drinking that sounds like instant grown-up points. And with Plum Gose and Kuri Kuro too, this is a tasting-flight paradise!
Hop BroTotally. You can reset with Black Label or First Lager, snack on the house-made smoked food, then circle back for the full Kyobashi route.
MugiNope, I am done pretending to be calm. Tonight at Hathor, I want my first glass to be Sono Ju!
CraftBeerSpot Hathor in Osaka-Kyobashi has published its draft beer lineup for August 12. The bar, known for 16 taps and house-smoked dishes, is offering a broad spread of styles, from lager and fruit beer to IPA and dark beer.
The headline pour is Shigakogen Beer’s No.10. Brewed to mark the brewery’s 10th anniversary, this so-called "10th IPA" comes in at 7.5% ABV and 75 IBU, yet is described as surprisingly easy to drink thanks to the use of sake rice. It brings bright hop aroma and firm bitterness, but keeps a clean finish. The recommended special is Firestone Walker’s Primal Elements Blueberry & Marionberry, built from a blend of a barrel-aged wild ale saison, a Flanders red fermented with marionberries, and a lager, then aged for nine weeks with fresh Washington blueberries in French oak foeders.
Other taps include Sapporo Beer’s Black Label, Shimanami Brewery’s First Lager, Shigakogen Beer’s From Scratch Real Ale Ver., Minoh Beer’s Plum Gose, Nomcraft x Choryo’s Wine Not?, Shonan Beer’s Summer Orange Ale, Barebottle’s Potion Crusher and Three Factor Authentication, Flora Fermentation x Umbrella Rib’s Decacorn Tawaki, and Miyazaki Hideji Beer’s Kurikuro. The lineup gives drinkers a clear chance to move from crisp lager to sour ale and on to rich dark beer in one visit.
