Hop BroToday's main feature is Osaka's Kita Ward Toganocho pub umbrella RiB, right? On Thursday, March 26 from 17:00 to 24:00, they had a lineup of 12 draft beers and 1 can.
MugiWhoa! That many near Umeda? Twelve draft beers sounds like I'd be lost before I even decided!
Hop BroAnd the lineup is seriously strong. The collaboration beers are packed, so it's easy to build a tasting path with beers like Tomodachi Saison, Nama-chan to Ina-chan no Goku Goku Smoke, and Codebreaker.
MugiTomodachi Saison sounds friendly just from the name! But what is a saison? When I hear Farmhouse Ale, I suddenly feel like I've been thrown into a wheat field!
Hop BroSaison originally comes from a lineage brewed for seasonal farm workers, and its appeal is its dry finish and spiciness. Tomodachi Saison is a collaboration by Himitsu Beer × torne × Kemupa, and it's the kind of beer that's relaxed but still has its own character.
MugiOhhh! Then I want to check out the smoky beers next! Nama-chan to Ina-chan no Goku Goku Smoke already smells like smoke just from the name!
Hop BroThat's the NAMACHA Brewing × Inakiku Sake Shop Smoked Helles. It layers smoked malt over the clean structure of a Helles, so the smokiness doesn't overpower it, and the subtle savory flavor is what makes it great.
MugiJust hearing that makes me want to drink it! But having West Coast IPA and Hazy Double IPA too, isn't that unfair?
Hop BroIt's broad enough to feel almost unfair. For example, Uchu Deluxe Citra has the assertive punch you'd expect from Uchu Brewing's TDH Double IPA, while Racco IPA and Daylong let you enjoy the contours of the hops. Then with Element, Underwater, and Lighthouse Nitro Ver. in the mix, you also get to appreciate malt depth and the nitro mouthfeel.
MugiTDH suddenly sounds like a code! So basically it's like a triple-hop stack? Just reading the names is enough to make me feel tipsy!
Hop BroThat's about the right image. Triple dry hopping builds up the aroma, so the scent density is high. And having a lineup centered on domestic breweries like Nara Brewing, Fujizakura Heights Beer, Mugi Zakkoku Kobo, and Himitsu Beer is another strength of the day.
MugiAnd the new canned arrival is ATOM Passionfruit, so it sounds delicious right to the end! Ending with the aroma of passion fruit is almost unfair!
Hop BroOn top of that, there are more than 60 bottled and canned beers inside, so the move of going hard on draft and then taking cans home is perfect. It's the kind of day that makes you want to stop by Umeda, then finish with one crisp beer.
MugiYeah, this is definitely a great day for tasting side by side! Whether I start with a saison or an IPA, just thinking about it makes me excited!
