The brewpub "u.b.p_brewery taproom" in Takasago, Urawa Ward, Saitama, introduced the lineup of its house-brewed beers available at the shop in a post updated on April 24. True to a place rooted in Urawa and its football culture, it offers a wide range from easy-drinking pours to hop-forward IPAs and a stout for the finish.
Hop BroThat April 24 update from u.b.p_brewery taproom in Takasago, Urawa Ward, brought out the house-brewed lineup. It is a brewpub with a really strong identity, where the atmosphere of the town and football culture really comes through.
MugiWhoa! Beer is connected to football culture? Drinking while watching the game sounds like it would make the cheering bounce like foam!
Hop BroThe first beer to know is URAWA CITY ALE. It is a bitter that is easy to keep drinking, and it works both as an everyday pint and as something to enjoy during a soccer match. It is basically the shop's signature beer.
MugiA bitter is not just about being bitter, right? Easy-drinking bitter sounds a little strange.
Hop BroThat is what makes it interesting. A bitter is appealing not only for the bitterness, but also for its calm drinking feel. It is less about flash and more about something that stays with you pint after pint.
MugiI see! Then maybe 彩白～IROHA～ next. Coriander seed and orange peel already sound stylish just from the aroma!
Hop BroExactly, that one is a Belgian wit. The softness of wheat is layered with spice and citrus, so it is light and very strong as a beer to drink with food.
MugiWait, what even is a Belgian wit? Does good with food mean it does not get in the way of the meal?
Hop BroExactly. For example, 彩白～IROHA～ has aroma without being heavy, so it stands out while still fitting right in with food. That is where the taproom's strengths show.
MugiWow, the world of hops is deep! Then Drop Kick and Hazy Celebration sound strong just from the names, and I want to try them!
Hop BroDrop Kick is a Double IPA with citrus notes like grapefruit and lemon, while Hazy Celebration is a Mosaic-based hazy Double IPA with plenty of tropical character. On a day when you want to bathe in hops, these two are pretty dangerous.
MugiDangerous how! But a day to bathe in hops sounds amazing! I feel like I would laugh at the juicy citrus burst!
Hop BroThere is also YUZU RISING, made with Katsuragi yuzu from Moroyama Town in Saitama Prefecture. Since it is a yuzu saison, the freshness and spice layer together, and it is the kind of beer that makes it hard to stop at the next sip.
MugiYuzu and saison together sound perfect for spring and summer! And the finish is La Bomba, right? Maple sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon sound like dessert!
Hop BroExactly. Finishing with an imperial stout gives you a huge sense of satisfaction. The lineup has a solid structure that feels very Urawa, so the right move is to start light, play around with hops, and finish on something rich and heavy.
MugiI really want to go drink there now...! The phrase a beer to enjoy right now is too tempting, and I want to try everything in Urawa!
