Craft Beer Spot Hathor Lines Up 12 Domestic and Imported Beers on Wednesday Taps
The beer pub Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Osaka’s Kyobashi announced today’s 12 draft beers on Instagram. The lineup spans Japan and abroad, with everything from IPAs and saisons to stouts. On Wednesdays, the shop opens at 5 p.m.
Hop BroOsaka’s Kyobashi spot, Craft Beer Spot Hathor, has lined up a big 12-tap spread for today. As you’d expect from a 16-tap bar, the lineup runs from lager to IPA to stout, and it’s fun just looking at it.
MugiWait, 12 kinds? With that many, I’d freeze up in front of the menu. Figuring out what to drink sounds like a happy kind of lost!
Hop BroThe first stop is Kirin Beer’s Braumeister, then Canada’s Sentinel, Isekadoya Beer’s Mugi no Manimani, and T.Y. Harbor’s Kanpai Peach Ale. Even just that stretch shows a nice balance of familiar comfort and personality.
MugiOhh, so it really goes from lager to unique picks! But what exactly is a saison? It sounds fancy, but is this where things suddenly get difficult?
Hop BroSaison is a Belgian-style beer that was originally brewed in the farming off-season, and its hallmarks are a fragrant aroma and a dry finish. In this lineup, Minoh Beer’s Honey Saison fits that vibe, with a clean taste and a gentle hint of sweetness.
MugiSo I can just remember it as clean and a little sweet! And if it’s honey-like, that already sounds easy for me to drink.
Hop BroThe middle of the list gets even better. There’s Nara Brewing’s Underwater Luminous, and then Oni-Densetsu Beer’s Yuyabois IPL. IPL stands for India Pale Lager, which adds hop aroma to lager sharpness, so it’s basically “light, but fragrant.”
MugiWhat is that, a lager that smells hoppy? That’s almost unfair! And the name sounds so strong too, like arm wrestling might start before you even take a sip.
Hop BroIt’s also hot that Shiga Kogen Beer has two Real Ale Ver entries. With House IPA and Sono Sen side by side, you can really compare the different expressions of hops, and finishing with Belching Beaver’s Peanut Butter Milk Stout is perfect.
MugiWow, so the expression of hops can really differ that much! And ending with Peanut Butter Milk Stout sounds almost like dessert, which is kind of unfair.
Hop BroPlus, Hathor isn’t just about beer, because you can also enjoy house-made smoked dishes. Right now they’re using the table seats as standing room, and since they open at 5 p.m. on Wednesdays, it’s perfect for dropping by after work.
MugiThat’s basically a reward after work. If Kyobashi has that much lined up, I’d seriously have trouble choosing what to drink today, but the time spent deciding would be fun too!
Hop BroThen tonight, let’s go pick a glass based on the mood of the day. Start with lager, get lively with IPA, and settle down with a rich stout at the end. It’s the kind of place that suits that kind of drinking.
MugiI’m in! First drink in Kyobashi... actually, I’ll want a second and third too. Just reading the article already has my throat in craft-beer mode!
Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Osaka’s Kyobashi is known as a beer pub with 16 taps. In this Instagram post, the shop introduces its “draft beers of the day” along with the atmosphere inside, framing it as “Well then, today’s photo is...”. For now, the table seating is being used as standing room, and the shop says it will continue operating in this style until the chairs are put back in place.

It starts with Kirin Beer’s “Braumeister,” followed by Canada’s “Sentinel,” Isekadoya Beer’s “Mugi no Manimani,” T.Y. Harbor’s “Kanpai Peach Ale,” and Minoh Beer’s “Honey Saison.” Even this early, the differences in drinking style are clear, from lager to pale styles to saison.
Later in the lineup are Nara Brewing’s “Underwater Luminous,” Oni-Densetsu Beer’s “Yuyabois IPL - Jamboree SP Ver,” Trademark’s “Code Breaker,” and Shiga Kogen Beer’s “House IPA Real Ale Ver” and “Sono Sen Real Ale Ver,” making it a selection that lets you enjoy the many faces of hops. It also includes Belching Beaver’s “Peanut Butter Milk Stout” and Isekadoya Beer’s “Bno ga Torokeru Ultra Heaven 3xIPA,” giving you options ranging from a light, easygoing glass to something rich and full-bodied, depending on your mood.
Hathor is a place centered on beer, and one of its features is that you can enjoy house-made smoked dishes alongside the drinks.
