CraftBeerSpot Hathor taps Minoh Beer x Yorocco’s KOMPAS on 9/2
CraftBeerSpot Hathor, a beer pub in Kyobashi, Osaka, updated its draft lineup for 9/2. The featured release is KOMPAS from Minoh Beer x Yorocco, alongside recommended pours such as Arrogant Bastard Ale and 37th Anniversary Golden Ale.
Hop BroCraft Beer Spot Hathor in Kyobashi updated its taps for September 2, and the lineup is strong. The headliner is Compass by Minoh x Yorocco, and it sounds perfect for hot weather.
MugiWhat, that name already has me curious! What kind of beer is Compass, and does it help you find your way home?
Hop BroOnly in a flavor sense. It’s a plum saison made with fresh plums from Hakkihata Farm in Wakayama.
MugiHold on, that suddenly sounds like a chalkboard at a super serious bar. Saison yeast makes it sound like even the yeast is dressed up.
Hop BroPut simply, it’s a fragrant yeast strain. It gives spicy, elegant aromas, then a light malt body and soft tart plum character carry the whole beer.
MugiOhh, nice! That sounds like easy summer sipping. Pair that with their house-smoked snacks and my mouth is getting fully booked.
Hop BroAnd the recommended picks are serious too. Arrogant Bastard Ale is a pioneer of the American strong ale style, and the name sounds as bold as the beer.
MugiThat sounds so intense I can feel it judging me from the glass! What about 37th Anniversary Golden Ale?
Hop BroThat one is bourbon barrel aged, then layered with coffee, oak, cacao nibs, and vanilla. It’s basically leaning into liquid dessert territory.
MugiWait, what are cacao nibs?! I do understand dessert in a glass, but wow, that is a full-bodied amount of information.
Hop BroThey’re crushed cacao beans that add a chocolate-like aroma. And today you also get a 16-tap tasting lineup, from lagers and IPAs to stout.
MugiThat settles it. Start with Compass, finish with Pearl Stout, and now I absolutely want a toast at Hathor.
Fresh on Tap
The highlight is KOMPAS / Minoh Beer x Yorocco. Brewed with saison yeast and plenty of fresh plums from Hagi Farm in Wakayama, it is described as having a light malt body, layered saison aromatics, gentle plum acidity, and a soft fruity finish. The beer is said to develop its fruit character gradually during fermentation and aging, making it especially easy to drink in the summer heat.
Recommended Picks
Two recommended beers are listed: Arrogant Bastard Ale / Arrogant Consortia (Stone) and 37th Anniversary Golden Ale / Karl Strauss. The former is presented as a landmark American strong ale, while the latter is a rich anniversary beer aged in bourbon barrels with coffee, oak, cacao nibs, and vanilla.
Other Draft Options
The day’s lineup also includes Brau Meister, Yorimichi no Lager, Where the Wind Begins, Dr. Lemon Lager, Strawberry Sour Ale, ShatterSpike, Weiss IPA, Locomotion, and Pearl Stout. With lagers, ales, fruit beers, IPAs, and dark beer in rotation, the bar offers a broad tasting range that suits a classic 16-tap craft beer pub. The house-smoked food also makes it easy to pair different beers with snacks, from lighter pours to deeper, roastier styles.
