Osaka's umbrella RiB taps Embolden's Broken Record and Nara Brewing's EIGHTY EIGHT
On June 26, Osaka beer pub umbrella RiB opened from 17:00 to 24:00 and announced two taps: Embolden Beer Co.'s Broken Record and Nara Brewing's EIGHTY EIGHT.
Hop Broumbrella RiB in Osaka just announced two fresh tappings, and that alone gets me moving.
MugiWait! That's the beer pub around Umeda, right? Open from 5 to midnight means I can make it after work!
Hop BroAnd one of them is Embolden's Broken Record, a 6.8% West Coast IPA with Nelson and Mosaic pushing citrus and fruit right to the front in a classic-leaning way.
MugiHold on, when you say classic-leaning IPA, why does it suddenly sound like a lecture!?
Hop BroThink crisp bitterness, bright aroma, and sweetness that doesn't drag too long. Basically, it's a sharp, snappy IPA.
MugiOkay, got it! Then what about Nara Brewing's Eighty Eight? The name sounds like a roll call number and I kind of love that!
Hop BroThat one's a Saison with Green Tea, layering tea nuance over yeast-driven aroma. It's a green tea saison.
MugiWhat even is a saison!? Is this beer, or did we just wander into a poetry elective?
Hop BroIt's a farmhouse-style tradition, usually light, dry, and aromatic. In plain terms, it's a slow-sipping finish kind of beer.
MugiSo the IPA hits with hops, and the saison settles in with tea... the fun of comparing them is totally built in!
Hop BroAnd food last order is 10:30 p.m., so there's plenty of time to loop between both taps. This calls for serious night plans.
MugiSold. Whether I start with Broken Record or drift into Eighty Eight, I want a glass right now.
Osaka beer pub umbrella RiB in the Toga-cho area of Kita Ward was open on Friday, June 26, from 17:00 to 24:00. In the shop's post, the bar announced two fresh taps: a West Coast IPA and a green-tea saison.
The lineup
- Broken Record / Embolden (California)
West Coast IPA, 6.8%. The beer leans into bright citrus and fruity hop character, with Nelson and Mosaic bringing a classic West Coast profile.
- EIGHTY EIGHT / Nara Brewing (Nara)
Saison with green tea, 6%. Compared with the hop-forward IPA, this one adds tea-driven aroma and a softer, lingering finish.
umbrella RiB is a craft-beer pub in the Umeda area, and its daily tap updates make it a place worth watching for changing lineups. This pair gives drinkers a clear contrast: one beer built around hop clarity and another built around tea and saison character. The post also notes a 22:30 last order for food and says normal service is planned for the following day, making it an easy stop for an evening beer session.
