umbrella RiB in Osaka puts 11 craft beers on tap on June 29
Beer pub umbrella RiB in Osaka's Utagano area opened on Monday, June 29 from 17:00 to 24:00. The lineup featured one fresh keg of the sage saison Surage, plus a total of 11 craft beers, along with a limited roast beef plate.
Hop BroToday's topic is 11 beers on tap at umbrella RiB. In Toganocho, Osaka, they're pouring from 5:00 p.m. to midnight on June 29, and the headliner is a one-keg opening of "Sage."
MugiWait, one keg only Sage sounds ridiculously rare! And sage means the herb, right? They're putting that in beer?
Hop BroExactly. Sage is a Falò x KARAKURI collab, and the style is a 5.5% Sage Saison. The saison yeast throws phenols, and layering sage on top of that makes it really interesting.
MugiHold on, phenols from saison yeast suddenly sounds like chemistry class! So what does that actually taste like?
Hop BroIn plain terms, it's spicy and light on the nose. You get a peppery, herbal lift, and the finish is dry, so it goes down very easily.
MugiOoh, then house-made roast beef sounds perfect with it! Potatoes included, 1,000 yen, and limited quantity? My stomach just entered the chat.
Hop BroThat's the charm of it, the ask the staff secret-menu feeling. The dry finish of Sage cuts through the fat from the beef and sets up your next pour perfectly.
MugiWhat is that, a beer flight blueprint? You make it sound engineered! Are the other ten taps really that varied too?
Hop BroVery much so. It's from pale ale to stout, with Nara Brewing's "Kusanagi" and "Eighty Eight," Ushitora's "Hatopoppo Ale Hatomugi Mashimashi Ver.," plus hazy IPA, West Coast IPA, fruit sour, and coffee stout.
MugiThen it's settled, I want to drink and compare till midnight! I can already picture myself at umbrella RiB, snacking on roast beef and starting with Sage.
Hop BroThat's the move. Late-night Osaka beer should be exactly like this. Start with Sage, work your way through the styles, and suddenly you'll want a pint right now.
