Osaka's umbrella RiB lines up 12 beers on its May 4 tap list, including B.M.B Brewery
Osaka's beer pub umbrella RiB in Toganocho announced its hours for Monday, May 4, from 5:00 p.m. to midnight, along with that day's tap list. Twelve craft beers, including B.M.B Brewery, Minoh Beer, and Daisen G Beer, are on deck, and the Golden Week period will keep 5 p.m. openings going.
Hop BroThe May 4 tap list at Osaka's Toganocho beer pub, umbrella RiB, is pretty interesting. From B.M.B Brewery to Minoh Beer and Daisen G Beer, it's a setup where you can compare 12 different beers.
MugiWhoa! 12 varieties? If there were that many, I'd freeze up just staring at the menu because I'd be too happy!
Hop BroAnd the range is wide. It goes from sours to pilsners, so you can choose both a light pint and one that lets you enjoy the contours of hops. Today is a day where the fun of choosing really stands out.
MugiWhat does that even mean! When you say the contours of hops out of nowhere, beer starts sounding like sculpture!
Hop BroFor example, Trapp Door's West Coast IPA tends to show its aroma and bitterness very clearly, and Minoh Beer's Black IPA also brings in roasted notes. In short, the flavor lines are crisp.
MugiOhhh! Then I might start with something like the Yuzu Tripel, where the aroma is fun. It sounds strong, but somehow delicious!
Hop BroThat works too. Starting with fruitiness, like Minoh Beer's Yuzu Tripel or Minami Shinshu Beer's Apple Hop Oulin, suits the mood right now. And B.M.B Brewery's smoothie sour is bold too, with a dessert-like side to it.
MugiA smoothie sour!? A beer with dessert vibes? My brain can't keep up!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. Plus, this place has a Brooklyn-style interior with sofa seating, so it's good for taking your time. They also carry more than 60 bottled and canned beers inside, so you can wander beyond the taps too.
MugiNice! And during Golden Week it's open at 5 p.m. every day, right? If I stop by after work, it's basically straight to heaven!
Hop BroExactly. On May 4 it's open from 5:00 p.m. to midnight, so you can take your time comparing beers. Osaka breweries, breweries from across Japan, and even U.S. collaborations are all lined up, so tonight is definitely one where you wonder what to drink first.
MugiYeah, I can't resist this anymore! I want to start comparing beers from the first glass, and now I want to go immediately!
