Osaka's umbrella opens at 6 p.m. on April 25, featuring a Dank Hop IPA
Umbrella, the beer pub in Umeda, Osaka, will open at 6 p.m. on Saturday, April 25. On Instagram, it announced the first new keg to be tapped as "Dank Hop IPA / Kakegawa Farm Brewing (Shizuoka) 6.0%" and updated its rotating lineup.
Hop BroThe underground beer pub umbrella in Umeda, Osaka, is shaking up its rotating taps with a 6 p.m. opening on April 25. And the new tap is "Dank Hop IPA / Kakegawa Farm Brewing (Shizuoka) 6.0%" - just the name alone makes it sound intensely aromatic.
MugiHuh? What even is a Dank Hop IPA? Is the beer wet? Soaking wet?
Hop BroIt doesn't mean it's wet. It's a way of describing a really intense hop aroma - something with a big hit of grassy character or ripe citrus. If you think of it as an IPA with especially assertive aroma, it's easy to understand.
MugiOhhh! And umbrella is that hidden bar underground at the entrance to O-hatsutenjin, right? Just hearing "underground" makes it feel like a secret base, and that's exciting!
Hop BroExactly. The warm, wood-filled interior and the fact that you can drink slowly at the counter are both great. With three draft beers as the core and options like Guinness and Heartland too, it's a lineup that really covers a wide range.
MugiBut wait, when you say three draft beers as the core, does that mean there are only three kinds? Is that few or a lot?
Hop BroIt's only the core that's three kinds. In practice, you can enjoy the regular options too. On this day, for example, the range of styles was especially interesting, with everything from a fruit sour ale to a Japanese rice brut on offer.
MugiThat's amazing! "Study in Rouge / Nara Brewing" with Fruit Sour Ale w/ Vanilla sounds almost like dessert, and just the name makes me want to drink it!
Hop BroAnd there's also "Saruyama Shikao / Minoh Beer" with Japanese Rice Brut, so it still has that Osaka-local feel. Brut styles are dry and crisp, with an easy lightness from the rice, so they're often smoother to drink than they look.
MugiWhoa, having Kirin Lager and Guinness on the same lineup is unfair! You get craft beer, but also the comfort of your usual go-to drinks!
Hop BroAnd the post also included info about the Chikazakaba umbrella 15th Party, with the shop closed on April 26 and events planned for May 9 and 10. It's definitely the kind of place that makes you want to drop in when the taps quietly change in Umeda.
MugiWhoa, I want to go at 6 p.m.! If I can drink a dank IPA all the way through Guinness in a hidden underground spot, then tonight's detour is officially decided!
The beer pub "umbrella," located underground in Umeda, Osaka, will open at 6 p.m. on Saturday, April 25. In a post on Instagram, it first announced the debut of "Dank Hop IPA / Kakegawa Farm Brewing (Shizuoka) 6.0%."
