MugiWhoa, that many? Just hearing such a wide tap selection makes the place sound lively already!
Hop BroThe star is definitely House IPA / Shiga Kogen Beer. It’s built on a 100% Maris Otter base with lots of hops layered on top, and even at 8% ABV it goes down surprisingly easily.
Mugi100% Maris Otter? What is that? Are you talking about the malt character or something?
Hop BroExactly, the barley malt variety. And because the base is solid, the flavor doesn’t fall apart even when you pile on the hops. Next up is the interesting one: Double Hazy / BrewDog.
MugiPineapple, mango, and lime? That sounds like a fruit stand! Hearing juicy finish makes it sound delicious before I’ve even tried it!
Hop BroWhat’s very Hathor-like is that they also have Milk Stout Nitro ver. It’s poured with nitrogen gas, so the foam is very fine, and the roasted coffee and chocolate flavors come through smoothly.
MugiNitro really makes that much of a difference!? Creamy head sounds like it would look great in photos too, and I’m curious how it drinks!
Hop BroAnd they’ve got lagers like Edel Pils and A La Playa, ales from Minoh and Shonan, plus fruit beers and DDH options too. Even with so many choices, it’s smartly arranged so that tasting side by side is genuinely fun.
MugiThat’s amazing! A paradise for tasting side by side. If I’m lost in Kyobashi, I’m definitely wanting to come here!
Hop BroToday feels like the day to go after everything, from IPA to stout, one by one. Once you pick your first beer at Hathor, you’ll probably already be laughing while talking about the second one.
MugiI get it, I’m totally making that face already! I want a drink right now, so let’s go toast at Hathor today!

Standout Beers on Tap
- House IPA / Shiga Kogen Beer
A semi-regular version that intensifies the brewery's signature IPA. Built on a 100% Maris Otter base and layered with generous hops, it is characterized by a refreshing drinkability that makes the 8% ABV feel lighter than it is.
- Double Hazy / BrewDog
A hazy IPA with aromas of pineapple, mango, and fresh lime, layered with pine notes. You can enjoy the fullness of ripe fruit and a juicy finish.
- Milk Stout Nitro ver / Left Hand
A milk stout served with nitrogen gas. Its creamy head and flavors of roasted coffee and chocolate are appealing, and it finishes with a soft mouthfeel.
Other Taps
For lagers, Edel Pils / Sapporo Beer and A La Playa / Trademark are on tap, giving those seeking a crisp pint some choices as well. The ales include Pale Ale Real Ale ver / Minoh Beer, Saruyama Shikao / Minoh Beer × Akishika Brewery, Golden Ale / Island Brewery, and Golden Ale / Shonan Beer. The tap list is especially broad, with fruit beers like Raspberry Pink / Iwate Kura Beer, IPAs like Heaven's Age / Black Tide × Teenage, DDH Citra Hazy IPA / Ise Kadoya Beer, and Double Hazy / BrewDog.
In the dark-beer section, a nitro milk stout is also available, and the bar’s appeal lies in how smoothly you can move from hop-forward beers to dessert-like pours while comparing them side by side. It’s the kind of lineup suited to a day when you want to explore the many faces of craft beer alongside a meal in Osaka’s Kyobashi.
