umbrella RiB offers Stone's "Live Current" and 12 taps
The beer pub umbrella RiB in Osaka's Toganocho will be open on Tuesday, May 26, from 5:00 p.m. to midnight. It has released a tap list of 12 craft beers from Japan and abroad, including Stone's "Live Current" and Ushitora Brewery's "Mosaic Edge."
Hop BroToday, the beer pub umbrella RiB in Osaka's Toganocho has a hot 12-tap lineup. It's open Tuesday, May 26, from 5:00 p.m. to midnight, and it's the kind of lineup that makes you gulp just looking at it.
MugiWhat, 12 kinds all lined up!? If you can compare that many at one place, it's basically a beer theme park!
Hop BroAnd the new tap is Stone's Live Current. A West Coast IPA with hop bitterness and crispness that really stands out. Very much a "they know what they're doing" beer.
MugiWest Coast IPA means one with lots of hop character, right? Huh, bitter but popular? The beer world is a little too tsundere, isn't it?
Hop BroExactly. The aroma is citrusy and piney, and the finish snaps cleanly. That's why the balance of bitterness and aroma feels so good.
MugiI see! Then a SMaSH Golden Ale like Ushitora Brewery's Mosaic Edge sounds like a different kind of fun!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. SMaSH is designed to highlight a single malt and hop, so the character of the ingredients comes through clearly, and you learn something as you drink.
MugiOh, then even something like Totopia × VERTERE's Diffusiophilia sounds interesting from the name alone! A Hazy Double IPA is basically a fluffy kind of beer, right?
Hop BroThat's a good way to put it. Because the hazy look brings the juiciness forward, it's pillowy and rich, but the mouthfeel is surprisingly soft.
MugiAnd it even has a coffee stout, fruit ale, and sour! The Toganocho location that's easy to reach from Umeda is also way too strong as a bar-hopping route!
Hop BroExactly. It's good for comparing alongside food too, and what makes it strong is that it has everything from light to heavy. Tonight is the kind of night where even choosing your first drink is fun.
MugiYeah, this is the kind of thing that makes you want to drink just by reading it! I'll start with Live Current, and before I know it, I'll probably have conquered all 12 taps!
