CraftBeerSpot Hathor updates June 5 taps with pale ales and real ales
CraftBeerSpot Hathor, a beer pub in Kyobashi, Osaka, updated its draft lineup on June 5. The selection is centered on pale ales and real-ale versions from Minoh Beer, Beer Hearn, Shiga Kogen Beer, and Onidensetsu Beer, making it an attractive lineup for side-by-side tasting across 16 taps.
Hop BroCraft Beer Spot Hathor in Kyobashi has a June 5 tap update that's seriously good. It's centered on pale ales, and the real ale side is stacked too!
MugiWait, a pale ale-heavy lineup means even a newbie like me can actually compare the differences, right?
Hop BroExactly. Seeing Minoh Beer, Beer Hearn, Shiga Kogen Beer, and Oni Densetsu Beer all in real ale versions is the fun part.
MugiWhoa! But what even is real ale? That name sounds like it comes with a certification exam!
Hop BroBasically, it's served with a gentler natural carbonation so the aroma and malt come through softly. Less aggressive fizz, more slow-burn flavor.
MugiOkay, slow-burn flavor sounds weirdly trustworthy. Like beer advice from a wise auntie!
Hop BroThe headliner for me is Minoh Beer's 'Pale Ale Real Ale ver.' It's loaded with citrus aroma from blended American hops, but still balanced enough for food.
MugiThat sounds dangerous in the best way. Add Hathor's house-made smoked snacks and now the aromas are about to start a cage match!
Hop BroThen you've got Beer Hearn's take with firm clean bitterness and a fresh hop nose. It's bitter, but not clunky.
MugiOoh, and what about Shiga Kogen Beer's DPA Real Ale ver? That name sounds like the final boss!
Hop BroThat one uses Maris Otter 100%, which basically means the malt base is elegant. Then it layers in American, NZ, and homegrown Shinshu Wase hops, and even Oni Densetsu's Kinki Pale Ale Real Ale ver changes hops batch by batch, so I'm already ready to drink.
MugiAnd with 16 taps plus Sierra Nevada, Deschutes' Mirror Pond, and Yona Yona in the mix, this is a tasting paradise. I officially want to hit Hathor tonight and work from pale ale through real ale!
CraftBeerSpot Hathor in Kyobashi, Osaka updated its June 5 draft lineup with a pale-ale-heavy selection. The venue's "Today's Recommended Beer" section features real-ale versions from Minoh Beer, Beer Hearn, Shiga Kogen Beer, and Onidensetsu Beer, alongside Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and Deschutes Mirror Pond Pale Ale.
Among the highlights is Minoh Beer's "Pale Ale Real Ale ver," described as a balanced table beer with a bright citrus aroma from a blend of American hops. The Beer Hearn version emphasizes firm bitterness and a fresh hop aroma. Shiga Kogen Beer's "DPA Real Ale ver" is presented as a long-running staple built on 100% Maris Otter malt, with hops from the U.S., New Zealand, and the brewery's own Shinshu Wase variety. Onidensetsu Beer's "Kinoni Pale Ale Real Ale ver" rotates hop varieties by batch and leans into sharp bitterness and citrus character.
