Craft Beer Spot Hathor taps 12 beers including "Yuuya Boys IPL"
At the beer pub Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Kyobashi, Osaka, the taps are lined with draft beers ranging from a collaboration brew with Onidensetsu Beer to beers from Nara Brewing, Ise Kadoya Brewery, and Shiga Kogen Beer. The lineup spans everything from lager to IPA, saison, and stout.
Hop BroToday’s topic is Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Kyobashi, Osaka. With 16 taps and smoked snacks too, you’re basically in tasting-mode the moment you walk in.
MugiWhat? 16 taps? With that many on the menu, just choosing would make me tipsy! And smoked snacks too? That’s unfair!
Hop BroThe first big draw is Onidensetsu Beer’s Yuuya Boys IPL. It’s a collaboration for KOBE BEER JAMBOREE 2026, and with Citra, Mosaic, and Simcoe, it has citrus and tropical notes plus a lager-like crispness and bitterness.
MugiWhat is that! What’s the difference between an IPL and an IPA? Just looking at the name makes it sound a little scary, like a computer settings screen!
Hop BroSimply put, IPL stands for India Pale Lager, so it combines the easy-drinking feel of a lager with hop-driven flair. It doesn’t get as heavy and foamy as an IPA, but it still brings aroma and bitterness. It’s the best of both worlds.
MugiOhh! Then Nara Brewing’s Underwater Luminous sounds interesting! Sake yeast, soyashi water... even the description itself already smells mysterious!
Hop BroThis one is pretty adventurous. They use sake yeast and aim for a clear expression of malt sweetness and acidity, while also going for fruit notes like watermelon and apple, plus a ramune-like nuance. It’s full of experimental spirit.
MugiWait, a beer with a ramune vibe? What even is that! It feels like getting taken to a summer festival! And it’s one of those beers where the appearance matters too, right?
Hop BroIf you’re pairing with food, Himitsu Beer x Tone x Kemupa’s Tomodachi Saison is also interesting. The chipotle adds smokiness, the lime adds brightness, and the hop character layers in a young-grass freshness, so it should go really well with smoked dishes.
MugiWhoa, if it’s amazing with smoked snacks, then I have no choice but to order it! A saison that’s spicy and refreshing sounds like a stylish grown-up flavor.
Hop BroAnd there’s more: from Ise Kadoya Beer’s Brain-Melting Ultra Heaven 3xIPA, to Shiga Kogen’s real ale, to Onidensetsu’s Kurooni Stout, you can travel from a light lager to a heavy dark beer all in one place.
MugiI can’t take it anymore, I want to do a beer comparison in Kyobashi so badly! Start with a lager, then a saison, and finish with a black stout, and it would be pure happiness.
