Craft Beer Spot Hathor Opens Four Taps, Including an Anniversary Helles
Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Osaka's Kyobashi district announced four new taps. The lineup spans a classic Yebisu, an anniversary collaboration Helles, a berry-driven sour IPA from Isekadoya Beer, and Nekojima, a Pomona Island collab.
Hop BroLet's start in Osaka's Kyobashi today: Hatohol's four fresh taps are a seriously good lineup.
MugiFour at once? And an 11th anniversary Helles too? That sounds like a full-on draft party!
Hop BroCraft Beer Spot Hatohol has been around since 2015 with 16 rotating taps and house-smoked dishes, so from Yebisu to collabs there's something for every mood.
MugiNow I'm hungry already! But Kyobashi Helles - Shikko Yuyo sounds weirdly dramatic. Is it actually easy to drink?
Hop BroThat's the fun part. It's an 11th anniversary T.Y. Harbor x Hatohol brew using Nugget, Saaz, and Hallertau Blanc in a fake Helles concept.
MugiFake? What is Helles and why does this suddenly sound like beer identity fraud?
Hop BroHelles is a pale, easygoing German-style lager. Here, fake just means it's playfully riffing on the style while keeping that super drinkable balance.
MugiOkay, that helps! Then what's happening with Isekadoya's Sour IPA? My mouth can't decide what it's preparing for.
Hop BroThe answer is both, and that's why it works. The Strawberry & Raspberry version brings fruit, hop aroma, and a bright pink haze that really stands out.
MugiAnd Nekojima is the Isekadoya x Pomona Island collab with yuzu, right? Mango-and-orange hop vibes plus fresh citrus sounds ridiculously good!
Hop BroExactly. Lager, anniversary collab, sour, and hazy double IPA make this a dream tasting flight whether you want classic, tart, or aromatic.
MugiAnd there's an Isekadoya tap takeover on June 28, plus smoked food? Let's go to Kyobashi before I start craving all four at once!
Craft Beer Spot Hathor is a long-running craft beer pub in Kyobashi, Osaka, known for its 16 rotating taps and house-smoked dishes. In this post, the bar announced four new pours with a lineup that moves from familiar staples to limited releases.
- `Yebisu / Sapporo Beer`
A reliable classic with a clean, balanced profile and a food-friendly finish.
- `Kyobashi Helles ~Suspended Sentence~ / T.Y. Harbor × Hathor`
A 11th-anniversary collaboration brew. Built as a faux Helles using Nugget, Saaz, and Hallertau Blanc, it is designed to drink smoothly.
- `Sour IPA Strawberry & Raspberry / Isekadoya Beer`
A berry-forward sour IPA with hop aroma layered over bright fruit character. The pink-hazy appearance also stands out.
- `Nekojima / Isekadoya Beer × Pomona Island`
A yuzu-infused Hazy Double IPA made with the Manchester brewery Pomona Island. Mango- and orange-like hop notes meet a fresh citrus lift from the yuzu.
The four taps cover a wide range of styles, making the list appealing both for comparison drinking and for choosing a first pint. Yebisu works as an easy starting point, while the anniversary Helles and sour IPA invite slower sipping. For hop aroma, Nekojima looks like the most expressive pour on the board. A Pomona Island collaboration TTO is also scheduled for June 28, adding another reason to keep an eye on Hathor's tap list.
