umbrella opens at 6:00 p.m. on April 23; Nara Brewing's "Study in Rouge" and more tapped
The beer pub umbrella in Higashi-Umeda, Osaka, will open at 6:00 p.m. on April 23. Its Instagram says two new kegs and five beers on tap for the day are available, with Nara Brewing, Minoh Beer, Oni Densetsu Beer, Guinness, and Kirin Lager on the list.
Hop BroToday’s highlight is the beer pub umbrella in Higashi-Umeda, Osaka. It opens at 6:00 p.m. on April 23. And with two new kegs on tap, the lineup is getting really interesting.
MugiWait, they’re coming out swinging right after opening? Two new kegs already sounds like a party.
Hop BroExactly. First up is Nara Brewing’s Study in Rouge. It’s 6.0%, and it’s a fruit sour ale with vanilla.
MugiA fruit sour ale with vanilla? My brain can’t keep up. Sweet and tart at the same time? How am I supposed to drink that?
Hop BroThat’s what makes it interesting. The acidity gives it a crisp finish, while the vanilla rounds off the edges. It’s easier to picture it as a dessert-leaning tartness.
MugiI see! So what’s Minoh Beer’s Saruyama Shikao like? Even the name sounds wild!
Hop BroThat one’s a 7.0% Japanese Rice Brut. It uses rice, so it tends to come across as crisp and light, which makes it easier to drink than it looks.
MugiWhen I hear rice beer, I suddenly think it would go with Japanese food! That light, snappy drinking feel sounds really appealing.
Hop BroAnd the rest of the draft lineup includes Oni Densetsu Beer’s NEW Oni Momiji IPA, Draught Guinness, and Kirin Lager, so the range is pretty wide.
MugiA hazy, Guinness, and lager all in one place? That’s basically cheating. The range you can choose from depending on your mood is incredible.
Hop BroWhat’s more, umbrella is a tucked-away spot in the basement at the Ohatsutenjin entrance, with a calm interior full of the warmth of wood. They also mention private bookings, so it might be easier to get in around 9:00 p.m.
MugiAlright, I want to try a bunch of things by the half pint! This might be my top candidate for the first stop tonight.
Hop BroYeah, it’s fun when you can line up a fruit sour ale, a brut, a hazy, and Guinness all in one night. If you're tap-hopping in Umeda, umbrella is the one to watch today.
MugiWow, just listening makes my throat want a drink. I’m already itching to start a night of beer comparisons.
