Osaka's umbrella RiB Opens 12 Craft Beers on May 1
The beer pub umbrella RiB in Toganocho, Osaka, announced its hours for Friday, May 1, from 17:00 to 24:00. In the post, it revealed the day's 12-item tap list and also shared its business schedule for the Golden Week period.
Hop BroOsaka's umbrella RiB tapped 12 kegs all at once on May 1. They even posted their Golden Week hours, so it really feels like a direct look at the shop's current moment.
MugiWow, releasing 12 beers at once is incredible! With that many, I'd be lost the moment I walked in...!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. Starting with a Today's on Tap lineup like B.M.B Brewery's 'Amethyst Eye,' they have collaboration beers and locally rooted brews lined up one after another.
MugiBut smoothie sour ale and hazy double IPA sound like a lot just from the names...! Can you explain the differences a little more gently?
Hop BroPut simply, sour beers make acidity the star, while hazy beers are all about cloudiness and juiciness. A beer like 'Personal Plug,' with its rich hazy character, is the kind that lets you really enjoy the hop aroma.
MugiI see! So something like 'Akamogura' as an Irish red ale would have a completely different drinking profile. I like how easy it is to imagine the color and flavor!
Hop BroExactly. And that day they also have West Coast IPA, oatmeal cream stout, weizen, and even Keller pils, so the lineup spans from light and crisp to full-bodied.
MugiOh, so they also include Kansai breweries! Kamigata Beer's 'Warmth Weizen' and Nara Brewing's 'Underwater Luminous' are in there too, which makes the local feel really nice!
Hop BroAnd umbrella RiB is a hidden-gem beer pub with a warm wooden interior, plus more than 60 bottles and cans. In other words, it's the kind of place that gently drops you straight into a beer comparison rabbit hole.
MugiNow I definitely want to go! May 2 is a private booking, but if it's open every day until May 6 at 17:00, then I can work it into Golden Week!
Hop BroYeah, if you're tracking the daily craft beer scene in Umeda, this looks like a great stop. Tonight is the kind of night where you can get excited just deciding what to drink first.
MugiI've already decided: I want to savor the first beer together with the atmosphere of the place! Hop-brother, let's toast soon!
Tap List at the May 1 Opening
The beer pub umbrella RiB in Toganocho, Osaka, announced that it would be open on Friday, May 1, from 17:00 to 24:00. In the post, along with information about its Golden Week hours, it also shared the day's Today's on Tap lineup of 12 beers.
Located within walking distance of Higashi-Umeda Station, the shop is a hidden-gem style beer pub with a calm atmosphere and the warmth of wood throughout. It has always-on taps, plus more than 60 bottled and canned beers, offering not only the fun of choosing a first drink but also a wide range of options for comparison tasting.
The taps that day included a diverse lineup such as B.M.B Brewery's "Amethyst Eye," "Personal Plug" by RaR and Bullhos, "Akamogura" by Grand Tap and Big Hand Bros., and "You Waku Mosaic" by Beppu Brewery, Ladybirds, and umbrella RiB. The styles were equally varied, ranging from smoothie sour ale, hazy double IPA, Irish red ale, session IPA, Belgian golden ale, West Coast IPA, oatmeal cream stout, weizen, and Keller pils.
Among the local breweries, there were also Kamigata Beer’s "Warmth Weizen" and Nara Brewing's "Underwater Luminous" and "Tifina," creating a lineup that crosses from Kansai breweries to brands from across Japan and abroad. The tap configuration, which weaves in collaboration beers, can be seen as a snapshot of the shop's current moment.
The post also announced that on Saturday, May 2, the shop will be reserved for a private event, so regular service will begin around 18:30, and that during the Golden Week period it will open every day at 17:00 through Wednesday, May 6. It looks like a good day for anyone in the Umeda area who wants to take their time following the changing craft beer lineup.
