Osaka's umbrella Lists Five Draft Beers for Aug. 6
Osaka beer pub umbrella opened at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 6, and posted its tap list for the day. The lineup includes a Hazy IPA from Two Rabbits Brewing, a fruit ale collaboration with Egret Brewery and umbrella, a Minoh Gose, Draught Guinness, and Kirin Lager.
Hop BroTonight in Umeda, the one to watch is umbrella's five taps. They open at 6:00 PM on August 6, and the basement-level space has that hidden pub feel with draft beer lined up and ready.
MugiWhat! That sounds like a post-work secret base. In Sonezaki, too? I would absolutely get pulled straight in.
Hop BroAnd the lineup is strong. Two Rabbits Brewing's Doctor Hopsum is a Hazy IPA, Egre Brewery and umbrella made Senichie as a collab Fruit Ale, and there's even Minoh Beer's Plum Gose.
MugiHold on, what is a Hazy IPA? That sounds less like a beer and more like a mystical attack move.
Hop BroA hazy IPA is cloudy, softer on the palate, and more about aroma than sharp bitterness. So think juicy hop aroma with a smooth texture instead of a bitter punch.
MugiOh wow! Then this Plum Gose with salty-sour balance is still beer, not some plum pickle training camp in a glass?
Hop BroClose in spirit, but less athletic. Gose is a style with gentle tartness and a touch of salt, and the plum fruit character makes it really fun. With Senichie too, you can do a fruit-forward tasting flight.
MugiThat is amazing. And if Draft Guinness and Kirin Lager are there too, this lineup has ridiculous range. One drink turns into overtime immediately.
Hop BroExactly. It goes from hop-driven to fruity to tart, then classic stout and clean lager. With the chalkboard picks and open kitchen, you start noticing temperature and flavor shifts while pairing food.
MugiAnd they said they're closed on August 9 and August 11, right? After hearing that, I'm fully in we have to go tonight mode.
Hop BroThat is the correct decision. I'd start with Doctor Hopsum for the aroma blast, then drift into Senichie for the fruit. Just making a first-pint game plan is enough to make me thirsty.
MugiI'd open with Plum Gose and finish with Guinness for a dramatic ending. The urge to toast in that basement is completely out of control now.
Umbrella, a beer pub in Sonezaki, Kita Ward, Osaka, opened at 6 p.m. on Aug. 6 and shared its draft lineup on Instagram. Set in a basement space, the bar is the kind of place where you can settle in for a quiet after-work pint and work through a few styles.
Draft lineup
- Dr. Hopsome / Two Rabbits Brewing (Shiga) - Hazy IPA
- Seri Ichikai / Egret Brewery x umbrella (Hyogo, Osaka) - Fruit Ale
- Plum Gose / Minoh Beer (Osaka) - Gose
- Draught Guinness / Guinness (Ireland)
- Kirin Lager / Kirin Brewery (Japan) - Lager
The tap list spans hop-forward, fruity, sour-salty, and classic lager and stout territory. That makes it easy to choose by mood: start with something aromatic, move into the collaboration fruit ale, then compare the gose against the more familiar Guinness and Kirin Lager.
Umbrella is known in the Umeda area as a beer pub that keeps both draft and bottled beer moving through the line, with food that pairs naturally with a pint. The post also notes scheduled days off on Aug. 9 and Aug. 11.
