Osaka: umbrella RiB opens at 5:00 PM on Friday, April 17, with 12 taps on offer
The beer pub umbrella RiB in Toganocho, Osaka, has published today's tap list for its Friday, April 17, 5:00 PM to midnight service. Featuring 12 beers with distinct personalities, mainly domestic labels such as OUR Brewing, Uchu Brewing, and Nara Brewing.
Hop BroToday’s feature is the Osaka Toganocho beer pub, umbrella RiB’s 12 taps. For Friday, April 17 from 5:00 PM to midnight, they really went and refreshed today’s craft beer lineup.
MugiWait, 12 kinds? A lineup that’s mostly domestic sounds like it would make me lose my way just looking at it!
Hop BroAnd the lineup has a real axis too, since OUR Brewing appears four times. It’s easy to build a tasting comparison, so it’ll be fun to work through them one by one.
MugiBut like, Cold IPA and TDH Hazy Double IPA are basically spells at this point! I need someone to explain what’s different first!
Hop BroBroadly speaking, a Cold IPA leans toward crispness and hop character, while a TDH Hazy Double IPA is richer and uses a lot of hops. `宇宙Deluxe シトラ / うちゅうブルーイング` is the latter, with Citra aroma right front and center.
MugiWhoa, 宇宙Deluxe シトラ sounds strong just from the name! But I think I might like that huge burst of aroma!
Hop BroThen `アンダーウォーター ルミナス / 奈良醸造` should be interesting too. It’s a sake-yeast beer, so it tends to have a clean nuance that’s a little different from regular beer.
MugiWait, sake yeast means yeast for sake? A beer that tastes a little like Japanese sake? Now I’m really curious!
Hop BroExactly, that’s what makes it interesting. There’s also something like `doller doller bill yal-3 / 有頂天醸造`'s Best Bitter Nitro, which is served with nitrogen gas for a creamy pour, so the range here is really wide.
MugiWhat is that! A creamy bitter sounds absolutely delicious! The range of styles is so wide it feels like you could take a trip through one bar!
Hop BroAnd it’s in Toganocho in the Umeda area, where tables are said to open up more easily around 9:30 PM, and the counter is also a good bet. Since you can drink in-house or take it home, a plan like one drink there and another at home sounds pretty good for tonight.
MugiNow I completely want to go drink...! Tonight’s beer in Umeda really leaves no escape once you see this.
Hop BroThat settles it. An evening lined up from `ホッピーアワー` to `オー マイ バレンタイン` means we should start by figuring out the first glass.
