umbrella RiB announces five HINO BREWING drafts on June 12
umbrella RiB, a craft-beer pub in Osaka’s Utagano-cho area, announced a June 12 evening service from 5:00 p.m. to midnight and a five-beer HINO BREWING pre-opening. The board spans a honey ale, farmhouse ale, hazy IPA, American pale ale, and cool IPA.
Hop BroIn Osaka's Toganocho, umbrella RiB is doing five HINO taps on June 12, pouring them early from 5:00 p.m. to midnight.
MugiWait, one brewery only for all five? That feels like the bar is daring us to do a full comparison flight!
Hop BroExactly. Wild Honey is a Honey Ale at 6%, Don't Yare IPA is a Hazy IPA at 6%, Yare Yare Ale is an American Pale Ale at 5%, Zutto Yare IPA is a Cool IPA at 5%, and Premium Ale is a Farmhouse Ale at 10% with yeast-driven esters.
MugiWhat is that, yeast-driven esters? That sounds less like beer and more like a chemistry boss battle!
Hop BroNot a boss battle, just aroma talk. Think banana-and-spice notes made during fermentation, the kind of character that gives a farmhouse ale its personality.
MugiOkay, but the names are amazing too. Don't Yare, Yare Yare, Zutto Yare... the lineup is doing comedy before I even take a sip!
Hop BroThat is the fun of it. With Hazy IPA, American Pale Ale, and Cool IPA side by side, you can really do a hop character showdown, and the 10% Premium Ale is clearly the loudest one in the room.
MugiSo do I start easy, or do I open with the 10% monster and hand my memory over to fate?
Hop BroStart with Yare Yare Ale or Zutto Yare IPA in the 5% range if you want to stay upright. And the tap list is stacked too: Stone's Live Current, Brasserie Knot's MOON, and Stigbergets' Trouble Sleep mean the backup taps rip.
MugiAnd they also have Shimanami Super Lemon Sour and Daisen G Beer's Yuzu Weizen? That range is wild, so even a newer drinker like me has an easy entry point.
Hop BroPlus umbrella RiB pairs craft beer with teppan dishes, has that Brooklyn-bar feel, and keeps 60+ bottles and cans around, so if you love something on draft you can keep digging, which makes it a top stop tonight.
MugiThat sounds like the correct answer for a night around Umeda. I'm fully ready for a HINO tasting mission right now!
umbrella RiB is a craft-beer pub on the first floor of the Juraku Building in Utagano-cho, Osaka. For Friday, June 12, the bar announced a 5:00 p.m. to midnight service window and said it would pre-open five HINO BREWING beers.
Five new drafts
- Wild Honey / HINO BREWING (Shiga) - Honey Ale, 6%
- Premium Ale / HINO BREWING (Shiga) - Farmhouse Ale, 10%
- Dont Yare IPA / HINO BREWING (Shiga) - Hazy IPA, 6%
- Yare Yare Ale / HINO BREWING (Shiga) - American Pale Ale, 5%
- Zutto Yare IPA / HINO BREWING (Shiga) - Cool IPA, 5%
Grouping five taps from the same brewery makes this lineup easy to read: one brewery, five different expressions, from a honey-driven ale to a 10% farmhouse ale and a softer cool IPA. It is the kind of spread that invites side-by-side tasting rather than choosing a single winner.
More beers on tap
The rest of the board keeps the variety going. Stone’s Live Current adds a West Coast IPA edge, Shimanami Brewery’s Shimanami Super Lemon Sour brings a fruit hard seltzer option, Brasserie Knot’s MOON offers a double IPA, and Stigbergets’ Trouble Sleep brings an imperial coffee stout. The list also includes Ash Head Brewery’s 1117, Nara Brewing’s Kipp, and Daisen G Beer’s Yuzu Weiss.
The pub’s appeal is not just the tap list. It also serves grilled and teppan-style food, and the post notes that more than 60 carefully selected bottles and cans are available as well. In other words, umbrella RiB works both as a place to focus on what’s pouring now and as a shop-like stop for extending the session with bottles or cans. For drinkers in the Umeda area, it is a practical place to follow a style-driven lineup without losing the food-and-bar feel.
