Craft Beer Spot Hathor opens three taps featuring Shimanami Brewery, Bear Bottle and Minoh Beer
Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Osaka's Kyobashi has announced three new taps: Shimanami Brewery's First Lager, Bear Bottle's Three Factor Authentication, and Minoh Beer's W-IPA Real Ale ver. The lineup makes it easy to move from lager to hop-forward IPA.
Hop BroToday’s topic is the news from Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Kyobashi: three fresh taps just came on. Shimanami Brewery, Bear Bottle, and Minoh Beer all lined up together is a strong setup.
MugiWhat! A three-brewery lineup all at once? If it runs from lager to W-IPA, even choosing sounds fun already!
Hop BroThe clean opener is Shimanami Brewery’s First Lager. It works as a great first pour, setting up your palate for what comes next.
MugiOoh! But wait, what does set up your palate even mean? Like my taste buds stand in formation or something!?
Hop BroHere’s the simple version: lager tends to come across cleaner and less noisy in flavor. So it’s crisp and approachable, which makes it ideal as the first glass.
MugiOkay, that makes sense! Start calm, then notice the differences better. So Bear Bottle’s Three Factor Authentication already sounds wild just from the name!
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. In this lineup, it plays the role of the flavor shift, the beer that changes the mood after the lager and makes its personality really stand out.
MugiNo way! Then Minoh Beer’s W-IPA Real Ale ver totally sounds like the final boss. And what even is real ale!?
Hop BroGood question. A real ale-style pour usually has softer carbonation, so you can pick up the hop aroma more slowly and clearly. With a W-IPA, that gives the beer more depth, not just force.
MugiWow, so even the tasting order is built in! Hathor has a 12-tap lineup too, so chasing limited kegs there sounds dangerously fun.
Hop BroAnd they’ve got house-smoked dishes and tofu plates, so the food actually keeps up with the beer range. It’s made for side-by-side tasting, not just a quick single pint.
MugiFirst Lager to start, Bear Bottle in the middle, Minoh Beer to finish... perfect. At this point I’m fully in a let’s go drink there mood!
Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Osaka's Kyobashi has announced three new taps. The lineup features Shimanami Brewery's "First Lager", Bear Bottle's "Three Factor Authentication", and Minoh Beer's "W-IPA Real Ale ver".
The range is clear: an approachable lager, a characterful beer with a memorable name, and a hop-forward W-IPA. Starting with First Lager, moving to Three Factor Authentication, and finishing with W-IPA Real Ale ver makes for a natural tasting progression. The real ale format is also suited to slower drinking, with softer carbonation that helps the aroma come through.
Hathor is a 12-tap beer pub, and its house-made smoked dishes and tofu plates are part of the draw. It is the kind of place where you can enjoy draft beer alongside food, then follow the changing tap list over time. For beer drinkers in Kyobashi who want to compare different styles in one sitting, this is a strong stop.
