Hop BroToday in Osaka's Toganocho, the 12-tap opening is the big thing. umbrella RiB is open on May 18, and the lineup is irresistible for anyone who loves tasting side by side.
MugiWhoa! Twelve kinds? With that many, I'd be so happily overwhelmed I'd collapse before I even chose!
Hop BroAnd leading off is You Waku Mosaic, a collab from Beppu Brewery, Ladybirds, and umbrella RiB. It's a Session IPA at 4.5%, so it's light, but still has a solid hop aroma.
MugiWhat is that! Does Session IPA mean it's basically thin? But if it still has real hop aroma, isn't that kind of cheating?
Hop BroIt's less about being thin and more about being an IPA that's easy to drink for a lot of rounds. It's a style made to keep the alcohol lower while still letting you enjoy the hops' character.
MugiOhh, I see! Then if you compare it with Revision's Tight Lines, a West Coast IPA, you'd probably notice the difference in where the aroma is headed!
Hop BroExactly. West Coast IPA has that satisfying crispness and bitterness. And with a Hazy Double IPA like VERTERE's Protea in the mix too, you can even go head-to-head with the juicy haze style.
MugiWhoa, the styles are jammed together! But if Shimanami Super Hassaku Sour is there too, my palate can reset with citrus and I could drink forever!
Hop BroRight, they've got fruit beers and lagers in the mix too, so it's nice that you can build your first round however you want. With Papazaru Lager, White Pearl, and Hinoberry Ale on the board, there's a lot of room to choose based on mood.
MugiAnd they even have meat dishes and limited burgers, so they've got a strong beer companion lineup! I'd be hungry before I even started drinking!
Hop BroExactly. It's a beer pub in Osaka with a day-by-day sense of fun, bringing together breweries from Kansai, all over Japan, and even overseas, so I'm curious what they'll put on next.
MugiAlright, tasting flight confirmed for today! Start with a light IPA, then move to a sour, and finish with a big hitter, so both of us end up completely happy!
