Hop BroThe 12 taps at umbrella RiB, the beer pub in Toganomachi, Kita Ward, Osaka, were announced at 5 p.m. on March 31.
MugiWhat! Twelve beers lined up all at once? That makes me seriously curious!
Hop BroAnd what stands out is that the hop-forward beers are front and center, like "Nue Hop Juice IPA," "Code Breaker," and "Hop Nomad."
MugiWhat does hop-forward even mean? Is it like getting hit by hops or something?
Hop BroNot hit, but the aroma and bitterness come to the front. IPAs especially tend to do that, so you can enjoy citrusy aromas and sharp bitterness.
MugiOhhh! So "Nama-chan to Ina-chan no Goku Goku Smoke" means it has a smoky aroma?
Hop BroExactly. A Smoked Helles adds smoked aroma to a crisp lager-like base. And with white-grape saison, sour styles, weizen, and nitro bitter on top of that, the range of aromas is pretty wide.
MugiWow, that's luxurious! But saisons and nitro beers are the kind of things I hear about but still don't really get.
Hop BroSaison is refreshing with a slightly spicy character, and nitro uses nitrogen to create a smoother mouthfeel. So "Nice Bitter Nitro" is the kind of beer where the bitterness feels mellow.
MugiAnd a beer ticket for six smallest-size pours for 5,800 yen? That's exactly the kind of thing that makes me want to do a tasting!
Hop BroThey also have more than 60 kinds of bottled and canned beer, and they're open from 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from 3 p.m. on weekends and holidays. Whether after work or on the weekend, you can just fall straight into the rabbit hole of tasting.
MugiI'm completely sold! Tonight, it's one drink in Toganomachi for sure!
