CraftBeerSpot Hathor in Kyobashi, Osaka, posted its June 27 draft beer list. With 16 taps and smoked food on offer, the beer pub is covering a broad range of styles, from food-friendly pours to fuller-flavored beers worth slowing down for.

Featured beer


The standout pour is Chocolate Brownie Stout / Isekadoya Beer x Dandelion. This imperial stout is a collaboration with Dandelion Chocolate and is built around a brownie-inspired profile. It uses cacao nibs from Maya Mountain, Belize, and shows strawberry- and cheesecake-like notes, plus pear-like esters from the yeast. The sweetness leads at first, but roast-malt bitterness and cocoa polyphenols keep the finish balanced and easy to keep drinking.

Recommended beer


The recommendation is Tea Bitter Real Ale Ver / Minoh Beer. It is the tea version of Minoh Beer’s “tea bitter” series, built on a classic UK-style bitter base with Earl Grey tea. Soft malt richness, gentle bitterness, and bergamot aromatics come together in a beer that should work well with food.

Also on the board is West Coast IPA / Green Flash, a classic hop-driven beer with pine, floral notes, and ripe citrus character.

Other taps


The lineup also includes Yuya Boys IPL Jamboree SP Ver / Onidensetsu Beer and Yebisu / Sapporo Beer in the lager section, Momoka to Kyoko no Duet Weizen / Repubrew in the white beer section, With Raspberries / Ushitora Brewery among the fruit beers, Hop Nyaon 10th Fleet / Isekadoya Beer, Nekojima / Isekadoya Beer x Pomana Island, and Sour IPA Strawberry & Raspberry / Isekadoya Beer in the IPA section, plus Milk Stout Nitro Ver / Left Hand for the dark beer crowd.

For drinkers looking for a Kyobashi stop with range, this is the kind of tap list that makes it easy to choose by mood, pairing, or style.
