Osaka’s umbrella taps five beers, with a July 11-12 anniversary party ahead
Osaka beer pub umbrella opens at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, June 10, with five taps lined up, including Ise Kadoya’s Mr. Dunk, Minoh Beer’s Umechu, and Draught Guinness. The venue also notes a 10th-anniversary party on July 11-12.
Hop BroIn Sonezaki, Osaka, umbrella is opening with five taps pouring at 6 p.m. on June 10. A calm basement pub with that lineup after work is dangerously persuasive.
MugiWhat! A basement beer pub already sounds like a secret hideout! And five taps means I’d freeze at the door trying to choose.
Hop BroThe headliner is solid. ISEKADOYA Brewery’s Mr. Dank is a DDH West Coast IPA, so it should be crisp, bitter, and loaded with hop aroma.
MugiHold on, what is DDH? That triple-letter attack sounds less like beer and more like a pop quiz!
Hop BroDDH means Double Dry Hopped. It’s when brewers add lots of hops after fermentation, so the aroma jumps out first instead of just piling on bitterness.
MugiOhhh! Then Two Rabbits Brewing’s Hopzilla Mega Motueka already sounds like a giant hop monster stomping into my glass.
Hop BroExactly, and Minoh Beer’s tart Ume Chu rounds it out nicely. You’ve got an Extra Pale Ale, a plum-accented Fruit Ale, plus Guinness and Kirin Lager to cover the clean finishers.
MugiWait, they’re even serving pints of draft Guinness? If that’s on the menu, my “just one quick drink” plan is absolutely finished.
Hop BroThey’re also selling a discount beer ticket for 5,800 yen, good for six minimum-size craft beers and valid for six months. That’s basically a tasting strategy in wallet form.
MugiAnd the 10th anniversary party on July 11 and 12 sounds fun too! Plus if they’re closed on June 14, 21, and 28, now I’m checking the calendar like it’s part of my beer education.
Hop BroIf we plan the tasting flow right, we start with Mr. Dank, move to Hopzilla, freshen up with Ume Chu, then finish with Guinness or Kirin. That sequence just makes sense.
MugiAfter hearing that, I’m done for. I want a glass right now, and I fully intend to get pulled into umbrella’s basement before that anniversary party even starts!
Umbrella, a basement beer pub in Osaka’s Kita ward, opens at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, June 10. For the night, the bar is serving five beers in total, combining three craft-beer picks with two familiar standards. Guinness is available by the pint, making the lineup practical both for a quick after-work stop and for a longer tasting session.
Tonight’s taps are:
- Mr. Dunk / Ise Kadoya Brewery (Mie) - DDH West Coast IPA
- Hopzilla Mega Motueka / Two Rabbits Brewing (Shiga) - Extra Pale Ale
- Umechu / Minoh Beer (Osaka) - Fruit Ale
- Draught Guinness / Guinness (Ireland) - Draught Guinness
- Kirin Lager / Kirin Beer - Lager
The board mixes hop-forward beers, a fruit ale from Osaka’s Minoh Beer, and classic pours that give the lineup a steady backbone. Mr. Dunk brings the DDH West Coast IPA angle, Hopzilla Mega Motueka leans into a bright hop profile, and Umechu adds a fruit-driven local option. Draught Guinness and Kirin Lager round things out for drinkers who want something familiar between the more expressive beers.
Umbrella is also selling a value beer ticket set: six small servings for 5,800 yen, valid for six months from purchase while stocks last. The schedule lists closures on June 14, 21, and 28, and the pub is also set to host the umbrella RiB 10th-anniversary party on July 11 and 12.
