Osaka's umbrella opens at 6 p.m. on July 1 with five taps, including Minoh Beer Pale Ale
Umbrella, a beer pub in Osaka's Sonezaki district, opened at 6 p.m. on July 1. The bar introduced one new tap, Minoh Beer Pale Ale, and listed five beers in total, including a Two Rabbits Brewing WC IPA, a collab fruit ale, Draught Guinness, and Kirin Lager.
Hop BroToday's headline is umbrella in Sonezaki, Osaka. The basement beer pub opened at 6 p.m. on July 1 and came out swinging with five taps.
MugiWhat! A basement beer pub already sounds like a secret hideout, and they opened with five kegs right away?
Hop BroAnd the fresh tap is Minoh Beer Pale Ale. It's a classic starter with soft malt and a clean hop aroma.
MugiHold on, what does one newly opened keg even mean? Is everybody standing around for a dramatic keg-opening ceremony?
Hop BroMuch less theatrical. It just means a newly connected keg for that day. They also had Two Rabbits Brewing's Omukade West Coast IPA and Ichigo Ichie from Eagle Brewery x umbrella.
MugiWait, Omukade West Coast IPA sounds way too intense. Is it so fast-drinking it has a hundred legs?
Hop BroOnly the name is wild. It's a sharp hop profile kind of West Coast IPA, meaning crisp bitterness, bright aroma, and a dry finish.
MugiWhoa, and then there's Ichigo Ichie fruit ale, plus draft Guinness and Kirin Lager? My mood could change every minute and I'd still be covered!
Hop BroExactly. That wide style range is the point. They center craft beer, but you can still choose bitter, fruity, dark, or easygoing lager depending on the moment.
MugiAnd the 5,800-yen beer ticket works for six small pours and even a Guinness pint? That's friendly pricing with dangerous temptation!
Hop BroJust watch the schedule: July 5 and July 11-12 are closed. The later dates are for the umbrella RiB 10th anniversary party, so we should aim around that.
MugiThen it's settled. On an open night I'll start with Minoh's Pale Ale, you grab the Omukade, and after that we're doing Ichigo Ichie and Guinness too!
Umbrella, a basement beer pub in Osaka's Sonezaki area, opened at 6 p.m. on July 1. In its post, the bar announced one newly tapped beer: Minoh Beer Pale Ale. It also shared the full tap lineup for the day.
Tap lineup for the day
- Daibakuchi West Coast IPA / Two Rabbits Brewing (Shiga)
- Ichigoichie / Eagle Brewery (Hyogo) x umbrella (Osaka)
- Pale Ale / Minoh Beer (Osaka)
- Draught Guinness / Guinness
- Kirin Lager / Kirin Beer (JP)
The lineup spans hop-forward West Coast IPA, a collaborative fruit ale, a classic pale ale, and familiar draft staples such as Guinness and lager. That gives drinkers a broad range of styles to choose from, whether they want something crisp and familiar or something with more hop character.
The bar is also selling value beer tickets. Each ticket covers six small serves of craft beer, and Guinness pints are also eligible. The set costs 5,800 yen, is valid for six months from purchase, and is available until sold out.
Upcoming closures were also noted: the bar will be closed on July 5, and it will be closed again on July 11 and 12 because of umbrella RiB's 10th anniversary party. For beer fans in Osaka who want to spend the evening with cask and draft beer, this is a place worth keeping on the radar.
