The beer pub Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Osaka's Kyobashi updated its tap list on March 31. From the 11th anniversary collaboration with T.Y.HARBOR, "Kyobashi Helles ~Prosecutorial Suspension~," to Minoh Beer’s high-alcohol IPA, the lineup is packed with satisfying beers.
Hop BroAt Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Osaka's Kyobashi, an 11th anniversary collaboration has been tapped. Today I want to talk about a beer with T.Y.HARBOR.
MugiWhat! A collaboration with T.Y.HARBOR already sounds delicious! And for the 11th anniversary, it feels like the celebration is riding all the way up into the foam!
Hop BroThe star is Kyobashi Helles ~Prosecutorial Suspension~. It's a "fake Helles" made with Nugget, Saaz, and Hallertau Blanc, designed to go down easily.
MugiWhat is that! A fake Helles? So it's pretending to be a Helles? The name already makes it sound a little bad!
Hop BroIt may look bad, but inside it's a model student. Because it's built for gulpable drinking, the malt sweetness and hop aroma just glide through lightly.
MugiOhh! Then I’m also curious about the Rockin' Osaru IPA! At 8.5% alcohol, it has a cute name but a body that looks like it’s been training hard?
Hop BroExactly. It has an 8.5% punch, and with Centennial, Citra, and Simcoe it brings out grapefruit, passion fruit, and pine notes.
MugiWait, the aroma is that packed!? With tropical fruit aromas plus citrus and pine, it's basically a festival happening in my mouth!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, this day has 16 taps in full force. From Tomodachi Saison and Peanut Butter Milk Stout to Gouden Carolus Tripel, you can change up your approach depending on your mood.
MugiWow, if you can even enjoy house-smoked food, there's no way this ends with just one drink! I want to toast with the Helles first, then take a deep breath with the IPA!
Hop BroExactly, the flow from Helles to IPA is beautifully clean. Tonight in Kyobashi, it makes you want to enjoy both drinkability and satisfying depth together.
An 11th anniversary collaboration Helles arrives
At Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Osaka's Kyobashi, the beer drawing attention as today's tapped release is Kyobashi Helles ~Prosecutorial Suspension~ / T.Y. Harbor x Hathor. Brewed at T.Y. Harbor on Tokyo's Tennozu Isle to mark Hathor's 11th anniversary, it is described as a “fake Helles” made with Nugget, Saaz, and Hallertau Blanc. The easy-drinking, gulpable design that keeps you going pint after pint is also a welcome feature.
Recommended: the 8.5% "Rockin' Osaru IPA"
The recommended beers include Rockin' Osaru IPA / Minoh Beer. This is a punchy 8.5% version of the standard "Osaru IPA," brewed with Centennial, Cascade, Citra, Simcoe, and Amarillo. Its aroma evokes grapefruit, passion fruit, and ripe tropical fruit, layered with bright citrus and pine- and wood-like nuances. The bitterness is firm, and the finish is dry.
