umbrella RiB updates 12 taps in Umeda, featuring VERTERE x Totopia and Nara Brewing
The beer pub umbrella RiB in Osaka’s Togano-cho opened on July 2, from 5:00 p.m. to midnight, with 12 beers on tap including Nara Brewing, VERTERE x Totopia, and Other Half. The shop also said seats were available.
Hop BroTonight's 12 taps at umbrella RiB are a serious lineup. In Toganocho, Osaka, it's a relaxed 5 p.m. to midnight kind of beer night.
MugiWait, seats are still open too? In Umeda? That kind of security makes me want to sprint there.
Hop BroAnd the headliner is Collectiophobia, a VERTERE x Totopia collab, brewed as a Hazy Double IPA at 8.5%. It's the kind of pour that turns the glass into the main character.
MugiWhoa, but Hazy Double IPA sounds like it does push-ups for fun. What exactly is double about it?
Hop BroPut simply, it's a maxed-out hop build. You get the juicy haze, then more alcohol and bigger aroma, so it feels almost like hop-driven fruit juice.
MugiOkay, then is Other Half's DDH Hazy IPA in that same family? DDH just landed like a secret code.
Hop BroDDH is basically double dry-hop mode. Brewers load in extra hops after fermentation, so Big Nectaron Vibes really blasts out aroma.
MugiAroma blast, noted! But I'm eyeing two beers from Nara Brewing. Between Kusanagi and Eighty Eight, which one is easier to start with?
Hop BroFor the first round, I'd go with Kusanagi's Belgian Wit. The Suruga Elegant citrus keeps it light, while Eighty Eight is a green-tea saison with a dry, tea-like finish.
MugiA green-tea saison is way too much information in the best possible way. And with watermelon kolsch and fruit sour on the list, this has full tasting-flight chaos.
Hop BroThat's the beauty of it: from West Coast IPA to stout. You could open with Brasserie Knot's Bird, pass through Embolden and Shiga Kogen, then close with that imperial coffee stout.
MugiI'm sold, and food last call is 10:30 p.m. too, so I can pair it properly. From first sip to final stout, umbrella RiB sounds dangerously drinkable tonight.
