CraftBeerSpot Hathor pours Asahi Jukusen and Minoh Plum Gose on Aug. 3
CraftBeerSpot Hathor, a beer pub in Kyobashi, Osaka, updated its draft lineup on Aug. 3. The selection includes Asahi Jukusen, Minoh Beer’s Plum Gose, Ise Kadoya Beer’s Meyer Lemon Radler, and a broad mix of styles for summer drinking.
Hop BroToday's beer stop is Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Kyobashi. On the August 3 tap update, the headliners are Jukusen and Minoh Beer's "Plum Gose," which is a very summer-ready pairing.
MugiWhat! A 16-tap lineup and those are just the new pours? Lager, fruity stuff, IPA, dark beer... that tap wall sounds chaotic in the best way!
Hop BroJukusen is all about three-stage hopping. They add bittering, aroma, and fine-aroma hops in separate rounds, then use long maturation to build fragrance and depth.
MugiWait, what is a gose? A plum beer with salt in it sounds like my taste buds are being asked to host a panel discussion!
Hop BroA gose is a style with gentle salinity and soft acidity. This Plum Gose uses fully ripe Nanko plums and plum vinegar from Minabe, Wakayama, so it lands fruity, bright, and really refreshing.
MugiNo way, that sounds like an adult summer plum drink. I could absolutely crush that on a hot day.
Hop BroAnd Ise Kadoya Beer's Meyer Lemon Radler deserves attention too. It blends 100% Meyer lemon juice with lemon juice, then pulls everything together with a herbal note from Tettnanger hops.
MugiHold on, Tettnanger hops sounds like a wizard name. And radler too, is this beer-beer or lemonade pretending to be beer?
Hop BroTettnanger is a German hop, and radler leans into easy lemony drinkability. On the recommended side, "Vitt Natt IPA" is juicy and soft from oats and wheat, while "Nomclassic Porter" is lightly roasty and already has me wanting a pint with Hathor's house-smoked food.
MugiThat settles it, I want Kyobashi now. Start me with Plum Gose to cool off, then finish with the porter and I'll call that a flawless summer route.
CraftBeerSpot Hathor in Kyobashi, Osaka, published its draft beer lineup for Aug. 3. The beer pub, which opened on March 20, 2015 and operates with 16 taps plus house-smoked foods, has assembled a wide-ranging selection that moves from lager to fruit beer, IPA, and dark beer.
The day’s new tap is Asahi Beer’s Jukusen. The beer is brewed with three hop additions using bitter hops, aroma hops, and fine aroma hops, then aged for a longer period to create a premium lager with depth and a refined aroma. The other newly tapped beer is Minoh Beer’s Plum Gose. Brewed with fully ripened Nanko plums and plum vinegar from Minabe, Wakayama, it layers fruit character, gentle acidity, and a subtle saline note into a bright, easy-drinking gose.
For something citrus-forward, Ise Kadoya Beer’s Meyer Lemon Radler stands out. It blends 100% Meyer lemon juice with lemon juice to balance sweetness and acidity, while Tettnanger hops add a soft herbal edge that ties the beer together. It looks like a natural choice for hot weather, with a clean finish and a refreshing profile.
The recommended lineup also includes Vit Natt IPA from Minoh Beer × BREWSKI and Nomclassic Porter from Nomcraft. The IPA leans into citrus and tropical hop aroma with a soft oats-and-wheat body and a juicy impression. The porter is an English-style take with a gentler roast character and a lighter body, making it an approachable dark beer.
Other taps on the board include Wine Not? from Nomcraft × Choryo, Kinoni Pale Ale Real Ale Ver from Onidensetsu Beer, Gougin from Daisen G Beer, Shimanami Super Lemon Sour from Shimanami Brewery, Lime Session from Shonan Beer, Hop Nyaon 11th Fleet from Ise Kadoya Beer, and This Is the Way from Long Beach Beer Lab. It is a balanced, food-friendly tap list that reflects Hathor’s broad craft beer focus.
