CraftBeerSpot Hathor taps Nara Brewing’s Camouflage on Aug. 23
CraftBeerSpot Hathor in Osaka’s Kyobashi district published its draft-beer lineup for Aug. 23, featuring Nara Brewing’s 8th-anniversary Hazy IPA Camouflage alongside recommended pours from Karl Strauss, Firestone Walker, and Minoh Beer.
Hop BroToday's Hathor 8/23 taps are stacked. Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Kyobashi is pouring Nara Brewing's 8th anniversary Hazy IPA, Camouflage.
MugiWait, 8th anniversary Camouflage already sounds dangerous in the best way. What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt's built on Nara Brewing's first batch, PUBLIC PRESSURE, with Mosaic, Simcoe, and Galaxy in a Hazy IPA build.
MugiWhoa! Every time I hear Hazy IPA, my brain goes, 'cloudy... but tasty... how?'
Hop BroThat's the fun part. It looks cloudy, but the hop aroma opens up and the bitterness stays gentle, so it's basically a soft juicy IPA.
MugiWhat is that! And it has wheat, oats, and lactose too? That's a very busy pint.
Hop BroExactly. That combo smooths out the mouthfeel and gives it body even at 6%. Think of lactose as adding creamy roundness.
MugiI already want it! Sixteen taps from lagers to dark beer, plus house-smoked food? That's unfair.
Hop BroThe recommended list is serious too. Karl Strauss's 37th Anniversary Golden Ale has bourbon barrel aging, so the finish leans into coffee, oak, and whiskey-like notes.
MugiA golden ale doing that is wild! I'm also eyeing Firestone Walker's Primal Elements, and that berry-packed fruitiness definitely means one pint won't be enough.
Hop BroThen Minoh Beer's Stout Real Ale ver brings the dark side with coffee and bittersweet chocolate vibes. It's a full tasting flight situation, and now I want one badly.
MugiDecision made. Start with Camouflage, finish with the stout, and follow today's perfect beer route at Hathor immediately.
