Craft Beer Spot Hathor Highlights 16 Pale Ales for May 31
The beer pub Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Kyobashi, Osaka announced on Instagram the Sunday, May 31 event "Early Summer Breeze and 16 Types of Pale Ale." Along with everything from Asahi Super Dry to distinctive picks from Japan and abroad, it also introduced the taps for the day.
Hop BroI heard Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Kyobashi is doing "Early Summer Breeze and 16 Types of Pale Ale" on May 31. Centered on pale ales, with everything from lager to dark beer in the lineup, that's irresistible.
MugiWait, 16 types is way too many!? That's a tasting paradise. Where do I even start?
Hop BroWhat makes it stylish is that the first pour is Asahi's Super Dry. Then comes Rise & Win's Morning Sauna, Y Market's Mugi no Osho, and Nara Brewing's Echoes, so you get a rush of classics and distinctive picks.
MugiThose names are powerful! But what exactly does pale ale taste like?
Hop BroSimply put, it's a style that balances hop aroma and malt flavor. It tends to show citrusy notes and bitterness, so with beers like Sierra Nevada, Deschutes' Mirror Pond, and Y Market's Lupulin Nectar, you can enjoy the differences in aroma.
MugiWow, so even within pale ale they feel like different people. I feel like I'm about to fall into a tasting rabbit hole...
Hop BroAnd this time they also have Onidensetsu's Yuya Boys IPL and Mojiko Beer's Amakusa Shiranui Weizen, so the stylistic range is intense. IPL is a lager leaning toward IPA, and weizen puts the softness of wheat up front.
MugiIPL is a new word again! So it's lager-like but hop-forward? My brain is basically a beer festival!
Hop BroEnding with Daisen G Beer's Yago, Ise Kadoya Brewery's Mr. Dunk, and North Coast's Old Rasputin is the move. Finishing with a dark beer makes the whole day feel complete.
MugiIf it's from 3 p.m. to night in Kyobashi, that's easy to get to, and I definitely want to stop by! I want to finish with a dark beer right now and try every pale ale.
