Hathor, a Craft Beer Spot in Kyobashi, Osaka, Opens One Keg of Iwate Kura Beer’s Red Ale
In an Instagram post from Craft Beer Spot Hathor, the bar introduced Iwate Kura Beer’s "Red Ale Real Ale ver" as the only keg opened that day. The Kyobashi beer pub, which has 16 taps, presents it as a drink to enjoy alongside smoked dishes.
Hop BroTonight's topic is the beer pub in Kyobashi, Osaka, Craft Beer Spot Hathor. In its post, it says, "Today's opening is just one keg," and Iwate Kura Beer’s red ale is the star.
MugiWhoa, even though it's only one keg opened, it still feels like the main event! And red ale sounds red just from the name, right?
Hop BroExactly, it's Red Ale Real Ale ver, and it's a beer that should let you enjoy the malty depth of a reddish ale. Since it's real ale, the mouthfeel should come across as softer too.
MugiWhat even is real ale! Does that mean it's kind of fluffy? Explain it to me in a gentler way!
Hop BroTo put it simply, it's a serving style that tends to produce a soft mouthfeel. Because the carbonation isn't too strong, the sweetness and toastiness of the malt come through more clearly.
MugiOhhh! So this is one for slowly savoring the depth of the malt. Not a chug-it-like-candy kind of beer, but a tiny-sip, pure-happiness type!
Hop BroExactly. And Hathor is a beer pub with 16 taps, so it's the kind of place where one drink is never enough. With everything from lagers to IPAs and stouts, it really stirs up the urge to compare different beers.
MugiWow, that lineup is way too strong! I can already see myself falling into a beer comparison trap!
Hop BroFor example, they have Edelpils, Snow Monkey IPA, and even DDH Citra Hazy IPA, so you can change your approach depending on your mood. Having both classic and distinctive beers makes it fun to agonize over your first choice.
MugiAnd pairing it with house-smoked dishes is basically unfair, isn't it? Beer alone would already make me happy, but with those aroma combinations, you'd totally win!
Hop BroIt's perfect for a relaxed Golden Week detour, and the whole one drink after an event flow feels so natural. If you just drop in casually in Kyobashi and pair a red ale with smoked food, it'll probably make for a really good night.
MugiThen today's plan is one drink in Kyobashi, decided! I want to start with the red ale, or maybe stare at the taps and get completely lost in indecision. I already want to drink right now!
