The beer pub Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Osaka's Kyobashi district has released its draft lineup for May 4. The lineup includes Iwate Kura Beer's Red Ale Real Ale ver, BrewDog's Double Hazy, Left Hand's Milk Stout Nitro ver, and more.
Hop BroThe 16-tap refresh in Osaka's Kyobashi district is exciting. Craft Beer Spot Hathor has released its draft info for 5/4, and today's lineup is really firing up that urge to compare beers.
MugiWhoa! 16 taps is the kind of thing that makes you feel tipsy before you even decide what to drink. And it's a beer pub where you can enjoy house-made smoked foods too? That's way too much information in one place!
Hop BroFirst up, the standout is Iwate Kura Beer’s Red Ale Real Ale ver. It has a deep red color, caramel aroma, and a subtle sweetness, with that amber character from the roasted malt coming through nicely.
MugiReal ale? What is that even! Real ale sounds like it's real with pure enthusiasm. Just the name alone feels like it could carry the whole thing!
Hop BroBasically, it's served to let you enjoy a softer carbonation feel. It doesn't go overboard with fizz, so the malt character comes forward more easily, which makes it a great match for the sweet, toasty quality of a red ale.
MugiI see, so it's the kind of beer where the flavor really shows through. Then BrewDog's Double Hazy is also tempting! Pineapple and mango? That sounds like the beer is going to take me straight to the tropics!
Hop BroExactly. It's a hazy IPA with a burst of juicy aroma. Fresh lime and pine notes are layered in too, and an orange finish lingers at the end, so even though the entry is lively, the finish is clean.
MugiWait, pine too!? And now Left Hand's Milk Stout Nitro ver is creamy instead, so the range is insane!
Hop BroNitro is appealing because it makes even the foam silky smooth. The fine bubbles created by nitrogen soften the mouthfeel and let you gently enjoy the roasted coffee and chocolate flavors.
MugiWow! And if they've got lager, IPA, fruit beer, and stout all lined up, then today is basically a beer comparison paradise. Thinking about how many glasses to have in Kyobashi is fun already!
Hop BroExactly. One of Hathor's strengths is that you can enjoy it with food pairings in mind too. If you go from smoked snacks with the red ale to aroma-driven food with a hazy IPA, then finish with the nitro stout, you may never want to leave.
MugiThat's unfair! Today isn't just about one drink in Kyobashi. I can already tell it's the kind of place where you end up having two or three before you know it!
