Osaka pub umbrella opens at 6 p.m. on June 11 with five beers on tap
The basement beer pub umbrella in Osaka's Sonezaki area opened at 6 p.m. on Thursday, June 11, and shared its tap list on Instagram. The lineup featured five beers from Ise Kadoya Beer, Two Rabbits Brewing, Minoh Beer, Guinness, and Kirin Brewery.
Hop BroThis one is about Osaka's beer pub umbrella, and the part I love is that it opened at 6 PM on June 11 and came out swinging with five taps right away.
MugiWait, a basement bar with five taps from day one? That is way too strong for an opening move!
Hop BroThe lineup is solid. Isekadoya's Mister Dank is a DDH West Coast IPA, and Two Rabbits' Hopzilla Mega Motueka is an Extra Pale Ale.
MugiHold on, what is DDH!? That sounds like a spell. Am I losing mana before the first sip?
Hop BroDDH means loading in lots of dry hops. So it's basically maxed-out aroma mode, and West Coast IPA means crisp bitterness leads the show.
MugiOhhh! Then even if someone is scared of bitterness, Grapefruit Sour from Minoh sounds easy to jump into!
Hop BroExactly. And with Draught Guinness and Kirin Lager in the same set, the style range is huge, so a tasting flight would be seriously fun.
MugiWhat is this lineup, beginner-friendly and geek-approved at the same time? And the 5,800-yen beer ticket sounds way too tempting!
Hop BroIt covers six smallest pours of the craft beers and stays valid for six months. Plus there's Guinness pint support, which tells you the bar means business.
MugiBut if I go right at opening, am I doomed to hover awkwardly? I saw seating from around 9:30 PM and instantly felt the popularity test!
Hop BroLooks like there was a private booking that day. Still, if I'm drinking in Umeda, this is exactly the kind of place that makes me want to clear the taps in order.
MugiI'm sold. I want to head downstairs and start with the small pours. I want a glass right now, and I want to finish on Guinness!
