umbrella RiB unveils 12 taps pouring on March 25
The beer pub "umbrella RiB" in Osaka's Toganocho will be open on Wednesday, March 25, from 17:00 to 24:00. In addition to the 12 taps available that day, the post also announced a newly arrived bottle of Shiga Kogen Beer x Minoh Beer. About half of the tables were already occupied, while the counter seats were still easy to use.
Hop BroToday, Osaka's Toganocho is hot because of umbrella RiB. On Wednesday, March 25, it's open from 17:00 to 24:00, and both the taps and bottles have a lineup worth checking out.
MugiWhoa, 12 taps is a lot! With that many, I feel like I would not even know what to order!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. The highlight this time is Barrel Aged Yamabushi taro. It's a Barrel Aged Fruit Ale from Shiga Kogen Beer x Minoh Beer, with layers of barrel aroma and fruit character.
MugiWhat is that! Does Barrel Aged mean it was aged in barrels? That suddenly sounds really advanced!
Hop BroExactly. Aging it in wooden barrels gives the aroma more depth. And since it is available for takeout, you can also enjoy it slowly at home.
MugiWow! And the wide range of styles is amazing too. Spice-driven, smoky, and more, it's like my head has turned into a beer festival!
Hop BroLooking at the lineup, they've got aromatic styles like Farmhouse Ale and Saison, plus West Coast IPA and Double IPA. And with a Nitro Micro Porter for the finish, it's easy to shape the whole drinking flow.
MugiWait, what's Nitro-served!? The one that makes the foam super fluffy? That kind of makes me curious, like it's coffee!
Hop BroExactly. Using nitrogen makes the mouthfeel smooth. Even if the tables are about half full, the counter seems easy to use, so it's perfect for dropping in casually.
MugiThen after work, I just have to go and take on everything from IPA to porter! Tonight is officially the beer comparison night!
Osaka City Kita Ward's Toganocho beer pub umbrella RiB announced its operating information for Wednesday, March 25, along with the craft beer lineup for the day. Business hours are 17:00 to 24:00. At the time of the post, about half of the table seats were occupied, and there was still availability at the counter.
The first thing that stands out in this announcement is the newly arrived bottle, "Barrel Aged Yamabushi taro 'grand cru'". This Barrel Aged Fruit Ale (6.5%) is a collaboration between Shiga Kogen Beer x Minoh Beer, and is available for both in-house drinking and takeout.
Also featured as "Today's on Tap" are 12 distinct beers with a wide range of styles. From a spice-forward Farmhouse Ale and a smoke-tinged Helles, to a classic West Coast IPA, a Saison with white-grape notes, and even a Nitro-served Micro Porter, the lineup offers impressive variety. With IPA options ranging from session to double, it is easy to build a progression from the first glass to the last.
This is the kind of selection that makes for an easy stop after work on a weekday, and it is also well suited to anyone who wants to compare beers seriously. For a night in the Umeda area when you want to enjoy deciding what to drink, this is a tap list worth keeping in mind.
