The beer pub umbrella RiB (Umbrella Rib) in Utaganocho, Osaka, announced one newly tapped keg for its business hours from 5:00 p.m. to midnight on Tuesday, May 12. That day’s lineup featured 12 taps, including Minoh Beer’s "Papa Zaru Lager," offering a broad range of styles.
Hop BroAt umbrella RiB in Utaganocho, Osaka, a new tap went on on May 12. Today’s lineup has 12 beers, including Papa Zaru Lager, so it’s a pretty wide-ranging selection.
MugiWhat! Twelve kinds is a lot, right? A 12-tap lineup is basically the kind that leaves you lost!
Hop BroThat’s the fun part: it lets you take in everything from a malty dark lager to IPA, sour, and fruit beers all at once. Minoh Beer’s Papa Zaru Lager is a beer you can enjoy for its solid depth of flavor.
MugiMalty? What’s that supposed to mean! Is it like barley-like sweetness? Suddenly there are hard words!
Hop BroTo put it simply, it means the malt-derived toastiness and sweetness come forward. So it has the mellow savory character typical of a dark lager, making it more than just bitterness.
MugiI get it! Then I’m also curious about the Shimanami Super Hassaku Sour. Tartness and fruitiness sound like something that would perk me up the moment I drink it!
Hop BroThat’s a good catch. And since they have everything from session styles to IPAs, you can start light and finish with a punch of bitterness.
MugiYou can drink like that? And names like Best Bitter and West Coast IPA sound strong just by themselves!
Hop BroExactly. They also have Kuni no Cho Beer’s Surutto Bitter and Hino Brewing’s Americano, so the strength is that you can try a wide range of styles. It’s within walking distance from Higashi-Umeda, and the Brooklyn-like atmosphere inside is a plus.
MugiAnd more than 60 bottles and cans? That’s too kind to people who still want more! If there are meat dishes too, then it’s officially a stay-a-while plan.
Hop BroPlus, they’ve already announced Hino Brewing TTO for Sunday, June 14, and there’s also the fun of following the tap turnover. This is the kind of place that makes you want to go check the current taps and look for the right first drink.
MugiWhoa, my throat is already reacting! I want to go check the beer I can drink right now today!
