Osaka's umbrella announces an April 30, 6:00 p.m. opening, with five draft beers and beer tickets
The beer pub umbrella in the Ohatsu Tenjin area of Higashi-Umeda announced that it will open on Thursday, April 30 at 6:00 p.m. On the taps will be an IPA from Kakegawa Farm Brewing, a fruit sour from Nara Brewing, Minoh Beer, draught Guinness, and Kirin Lager, along with notice of beer ticket sales.
Hop BroThe beer pub umbrella in the Ohatsu Tenjin area of Higashi-Umeda, Osaka, is announcing a 6:00 p.m. opening on April 30. It's in an underground spot you can just drop into, which makes it really strong for an after-work drink.
MugiWhoa! Just being an underground beer pub already gives it such a secret-base vibe! If I got swallowed up by that after work, I might never make it home!
Hop BroThe draft beers of the day for this date are really wide-ranging. There's Dank Hop IPA from Kakegawa Farm Brewing, Study in Rouge from Nara Brewing, Saruyama Shikao from Minoh Beer, draught Guinness, and Kirin Lager.
MugiWhat even is that! West Coast IPA and Fruit Sour Ale sound like they could get my brain drunk just from the names! And Saruyama Shikao sounds like a story is suddenly starting there, right!?
Hop BroA West Coast IPA is a crisp style where the hop bitterness and aroma stand out. A fruit sour is led by acidity, and Study in Rouge also uses vanilla, so the tart sweetness gets a softer edge.
MugiOhhh! A vanilla sour is like dessert, but sour! So am I supposed to show up as my sweet self or my sour self?
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. Minoh Beer's Saruyama Shikao is a Japanese Rice Brut, so it has a light feel from the rice, draught Guinness has that creamy foam, and Kirin Lager is perfect for closing things out.
MugiWait, a rice-based brut sounds alcoholic but light and airy! And once Guinness foam gets involved, my mouth is basically on a beer tour!
Hop BroAnd the shrimp and chives food is great too. It's finished with dashi salt, garlic, ginger, and lemon, so it should pair easily with a hop-forward IPA as well as a tart sour.
MugiWow, hearing that beer tickets are also on sale makes me want to plan everything right away! If they can be used for six minimum-size servings, then today has to be a tasting flight, and Guinness has to be the finale!
The beer pub `umbrella`, located underground in Sonezaki, Kita Ward, Osaka, announced that it will open on Thursday, April 30 at 6:00 p.m. Near Ohatsu Tenjin, it is positioned as an easy stop on the way home from work, and will offer a proper selection of rotating draft beers.
The draft beers of the day listed in that day's post are the following five:
- Dank Hop IPA / Kakegawa Farm Brewing (Shizuoka) - West Coast IPA
- Study in Rouge / Nara Brewing (Nara) - Fruit Sour Ale w/ Vanilla
- Saruyama Shikao / Minoh Beer (Osaka) - Japanese Rice Brut
- Draught Guinness / Guinness - Draught Guinness
- Kirin Lager / Kirin Brewery (JP) - Lager
Looking at the lineup, the range of flavors is quite broad, from a hop-forward West Coast IPA to a fruit sour with vanilla, a rice-based brut, the classic draught Guinness, and a lager. If you want to compare them, it sounds like a good flow would be to start with the IPA and sour styles to check the differences in character, then settle in with Guinness or lager.
For food, shrimp and chives is also being promoted, described as a dish finished with dashi salt, garlic, ginger, and lemon. It seems like a good match with the beers on tap, with aroma and saltiness that should pair well as a snack between drinks.
Also available are beer tickets that can be used for `six minimum-size servings of craft beer`. At Underground Umbrella, Guinness pints can also be used, and the price is 5,800 yen, valid until six months after purchase, while supplies last.
As for upcoming plans, the venue also announced a closing day on Wednesday, May 6, Underground Bar umbrella 15th Party on Saturday, May 9 and Sunday, May 10, and another closing day on Monday, May 11. It sounds like a day to keep an eye on both the standard Guinness and domestic craft beers, along with the activities around the anniversary period.
