Craft Beer Spot Hathor Adds Two Kegs: Broken Record and Double C DDH DIPA
Craft Beer Spot Hathor announced a two-keg tap update in its July 27 post. The lineup features Broken Record from Embolden and Double C DDH DIPA, a collaboration between Ise Kadoya Beer and Teenage, giving Osaka drinkers two distinct choices.
Hop BroToday’s topic is a two-tap opening at Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Osaka. They’ve got Broken Record from Embolden and Double C DDH DIPA from Isekadoya Brewery × Teenage on at the same time.
MugiWhat! A two-tap opening feels like the bar is testing my mood for the day. One name sounds like a rock band, and the other sounds like a spell!
Hop BroThe spell-like one is actually a style clue. DDH DIPA means an IPA with big hop aroma and a heavier body, so it’s built to make a strong impression.
MugiWhoa, but what does big hop aroma even mean? Are the hops marching in with their shoulders out?
Hop BroThat’s not far off. Brewers add more hops during or late in fermentation to boost the aroma, so you get more citrusy, punchy, floral character.
MugiOkay, got it! So that collab DIPA from Isekadoya Brewery and Teenage is basically a siren call for hop fans.
Hop BroExactly. On the other side, Broken Record is from the American brewery Embolden, and the fun part is getting an overseas brewery pour in the lineup.
MugiSo today’s setup is basically Broken Record if you want to explore something new, or a full-hop blast if you go for Double C DDH DIPA.
Hop BroThat’s it. A place like Hathor, which posts frequent tap updates, makes choosing your first pint way easier. You can go easy, or go all in on hops.
MugiI’m already thirsty just picturing it. In Higashinodamachi, Osaka, this is the kind of flight-worthy lineup that makes you drift straight into the pub.
Hop BroI’d start with Broken Record to get the lay of the land, then jump into Double C DDH DIPA and let the hop wave hit properly.
MugiThat’s the move! As a two-beer game plan, it’s way too tempting, and now I totally want to go drink at Hathor.
Two-keg tap update
Craft Beer Spot Hathor posted that it had opened two kegs for the day. The lineup consists of Broken Record / Embolden and Double C DDH DIPA / Ise Kadoya Beer × Teenage.
Broken Record is credited to Embolden in the post, bringing an imported-craft option into the mix. The second beer, Double C DDH DIPA, is a collaboration between Ise Kadoya Beer and Teenage from Mie Prefecture. As the style name suggests, it is the kind of beer that should appeal to fans looking for a hop-forward DDH DIPA.
Hathor is a beer pub in Osaka that regularly shares tap-list updates. That makes it easy to follow what is pouring that day and choose according to your mood. With just two beers on deck, the lineup is compact and focused, but still offers clear contrast: one beer from an American brewery and one collaborative Japanese DIPA.
For beer drinkers in Osaka, this is the kind of update worth checking before heading out: a small tap list, but with enough variety to make the stop worthwhile.
