CraftBeerSpot Hathor taps Edelpils and a raspberry fruit ale on June 18
CraftBeerSpot Hathor in Kyobashi, Osaka, published its June 18 draft lineup. The tap list features Sapporo's Edelpils, Ushitora Brewery's raspberry fruit ale, and hop-forward options from Stone and more.
Hop BroI need to tell you about Hathor on June 18. Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Kyobashi, Osaka just rolled out a stacked guest draft lineup.
MugiWait, 16 taps plus guests? That's basically a faucet theme park! Lager to black beer in one stop is wild!
Hop BroLeading the pack is Edelpils / Sapporo Beer. It's a super-premium pilsner loaded with Czech Saaz fine aroma hops, so the finish is crisp and clean.
MugiWhoa, but fine aroma hops sounds fancy. Are those like private-school hops with perfect posture?
Hop BroBasically they give elegant, refreshing bitterness and a lifted aroma. Edelpils snaps dry, so it works great as a first pint or with Hathor's house-smoked food.
MugiThat sounds ideal. But the name Raspberry Irechaimashita already feels like it won by pure chaos!
Hop BroIt's a fruit ale from Ushitora, and the trick is secondary fermentation for aroma. With only Pilsner malt as the base, the body stays light while the raspberry tartness pops.
MugiHold on, what is secondary fermentation? Is that the part where the raspberries hold a tank meeting and yell, 'More aroma!'?
Hop BroThat's wildly inaccurate, but not useless. It refines aroma after fermentation, so the fruit character comes forward softly and the bitterness stays easygoing.
Hop BroAnd beyond that it's basically an IPA comparison heaven: Stone's Live Current IPA, Shiga Kogen's Snow Monkey IPA, Minoh's Kozaru IPA Real Ale ver, and Uchu Brewing's Pleiades.
MugiWhat is this lineup! First pint: Edelpils to get started, then the raspberry ale, then an IPA side quest. I'm even curious about the yuzu tripel and the milk stout nitro!
Hop BroTonight's Kyobashi plan feels pretty settled now, and I seriously want to work through those taps with some smoked snacks.
June 18 draft lineup
CraftBeerSpot Hathor, a beer pub in Kyobashi, Osaka, listed a broad June 18 draft selection. Known for 16 taps and house-smoked food, the bar is serving styles that range from lager and wheat beer to fruit beer, IPA, and stout.
Featured pour
The day's opening beer is Edelpils / Sapporo Beer. It is a super-premium pilsner brewed with a generous amount of Czech Saaz fine aroma hops, giving it a crisp finish and a refined, clean bitterness. It is an easy choice as a first pint or alongside food.
Recommended beer
The staff recommendation is With Raspberries / Ushitora Brewery. This fruit ale is brewed with plenty of fresh raspberries and secondary fermentation, resulting in a light body, bright acidity, and a vivid berry aroma. Because the hop bitterness is kept very low, it should also appeal to drinkers who prefer less bitterness.
Other beers on tap
IPA fans will find Live Current IPA / Stone, Snow Monkey Silver Label Ver / Shigakogen Beer, Kozaru IPA Real Ale Ver / Minoh Beer, and Pleiades / Uchu Brewing. The lineup also includes Sunglider / Firestone Walker, Hopping Shachi / Y.Market, Momoka to Kyoko no Duet Weizen / Repubrew, Yuzu Triple / Minoh Beer, Grapefruit Sour / Minoh Beer, and Milk Stout Nitro Ver / Left Hand.
The selection is broad enough to move from a classic pilsner to a fruit-forward ale and then into hop-driven IPAs or a dark stout. For beer drinkers in Osaka who want variety in one stop, Hathor's June 18 taps are worth noting.
