CraftBeerSpot Hathor adds Ushitora’s raspberry fruit ale to its June 20 draft lineup
CraftBeerSpot Hathor in Osaka’s Kyobashi area updated its June 20 draft lineup, led by Ushitora Brewery’s With Raspberries. The 16-tap beer pub also lists lagers, wheat beer, ales, IPAs, and a nitro stout.
Hop BroThe June 20 tap update at Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Kyobashi, Osaka, is worth a look. The standout is Ushitora Brewery's Raspberry Irechaimashita.
MugiWait, that name is amazing. Is a raspberry beer basically dessert in a glass?
Hop BroNot really. It drinks more like a bright fruit ale built on Pilsner malt, with loads of fresh raspberries added to keep it light and vivid.
MugiOkay, pause. What does secondary fermentation even mean? Why does this suddenly sound like a chemistry exam?!
Hop BroNothing scary there. That extra fermentation step helps the fruit settle into the beer, adding aroma and tartness without turning it syrupy.
MugiOhhh, so with red-berry aroma and low bitterness, this sounds beginner friendly for people who get nervous about hoppy beer!
Hop BroExactly, and Hathor's other strength is its 16-tap lineup. You've got lager, IPA, and dark beer, so the whole drinking flow is covered.
MugiThat rules! Start crisp, detour into IPA, finish dark... that's basically a tasting course made out of beer!
Hop BroYep, and with Edelpils, Pleiades, and even Milk Stout Nitro ver on deck, it's built for a full drinking arc from first pour to last. The house-smoked food seals it.
MugiMy throat is officially in Kyobashi mode now. I want to tap-hop around town and start with Raspberry Irechaimashita right away!
