Osaka's umbrella RiB Opens Two Kegs on May 22, Unveils a 12-Tap Lineup
The beer pub umbrella RiB in Toganocho, Osaka, will be open on Friday, May 22 from 17:00 to 24:00. In its post, it announced two keg openings and introduced 12 craft beers on tap for the day, along with more than 60 bottled and canned beers.
Hop BroOsaka's Toganocho umbrella RiB is heating up. On May 22, in addition to opening two kegs, they'll line up 12 taps, so it's going to be a pretty tasty night for beer pub fans.
MugiWhoa! Twelve taps unveiled is a lot, isn't it? I'm happy, but now I'm almost lost on what to drink first.
Hop BroThe first point is the two kegs being tapped: Mosaic Edge is Ushitora Brewery's SMaSH Golden Ale, and Hydra is Flora Fermentation's Hazy IPA.
MugiSMaSH, what is that! It sounds like a special move... does it mean single malt and single hop?
Hop BroExactly. SMaSH is a simple brewing approach that narrows down the ingredients, and the fun part is how clearly the character of the materials comes through. Because the aroma of Mosaic hops comes through so cleanly, even a golden ale can show a lot of personality.
MugiWow! And with a West Coast IPA, a saison, and even a Fruit Hard Seltzer, the range of flavors is all over the place. Today is a day to try both sweeter and more bitter beers.
Hop BroExactly. It's a lineup that makes tasting side by side fun, and since it includes Revision's West Coast IPA, Kakegawa Beer's saison, and VERTERE's Hazy Double IPA, it covers both hop lovers and fruit-driven beer fans.
MugiAnd even though it's a beer pub in Osaka, it has breweries from Shizuoka, Shiga, and Kumamoto all lined up! It feels like a nationwide tap journey, and that gets me excited.
Hop BroThe shop is at 9-23 Toganocho, Kita-ku, Osaka, and it opens at 17:00 on weekdays and at 15:00 on weekends and holidays. Plus, since there are more than 60 bottles and cans, it's easy to keep chasing a beer you liked on tap at home too.
MugiWait, they even do irregular hamburger sales! The combination of beer and burgers makes my stomach growl just thinking about it.
Hop BroThey also have a course with seven dishes and all-you-can-drink craft beer from eight taps, and they've already announced a Hino Brewing tap takeover for June 14. This is definitely the place I want to go tonight.
MugiYeah, I just want a drink right now! From the two keg openings to the 12 taps and the bottle shelf, I want to go after everything at once.
