u.b.p_brewery taproom: 40-TAP TAKE OVER at IBREW Akihabara in April
The brewpub u.b.p_brewery taproom in Urawa, Saitama, has announced its April event and pop-up schedule. Starting with the 40-TAP TAKE OVER at IBREW Akihabara, it will expand to events in Saitama, Chiba, and Nagoya, and on April 12 it also has a release-celebration project for "Asaka no Kisaki Ale."
Hop BroU.B.P BREWERY taproom in Urawa, Saitama is really going all out in April. Just looking at the events it’s doing, it already feels like a "brewery that moves the city."
MugiWait! I thought a brewpub was just a place where you drink in the shop, but it goes out that much too!? "Event hub" has such an impressive ring to it!
Hop BroThe one to watch is the 40TAP TAKE OVER from April 4 to 5 at IBREW Akihabara. As the poster says, they’re also pouring an original collab IPA, so it’s basically a full-scale tap takeover.
MugiForty taps? Wait, you mean there are 40 taps!? How are you supposed to drink through that, the choices are completely jammed up!
Hop BroExactly. It’s basically an event where they line up a ton of draft beers. What’s interesting is that you can sample the range of U.B.P all at once, including hop-forward beers like IPAs.
MugiHuh! And on April 12 there’s also a release-celebration project for Asaka no Kisaki Ale. Just the name makes it sound delicious, that’s unfair!
Hop BroThat one is a fruit beer made with mandarins that grew at the eaves of farms in Asaka City, and it uses the peel to leave a clean citrus note. It’s nice because it doesn’t turn sweet and syrupy, but still finishes like a proper beer.
MugiWhat! When I hear "mandarin beer," I picture something like juice, but if you say the citrus character is clean, I suddenly want to drink it!
Hop BroAnd then April 18 to 19 is the Musashino Beer Fest, April 25 to 26 is the Chiba Beer Fest, and April 26 also leads into Nago Beer, so they’re busy. They’re also doing pop-ups timed to Urawa Reds home games in Urawa Misono, so the schedule is packed through April 29.
MugiWhoa, April is a pop-up rush! It sounds fun to run into them not just at the shop but at event venues too, and it makes you want to follow along!
Hop BroIn the end, what makes u.b.p_brewery taproom special is its beer that connects with the city. In Akihabara, in Shiki, in Nagoya, it’s a lineup that makes you want to have a drink together in the end.
MugiYeah, there are way too many candidate beers for this month! First I want to get lost at 40TAP, then smile over Asaka no Kisaki Ale, and finally raise a glass together!
The brewpub u.b.p_brewery taproom in Urawa Ward, Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture, has announced its lineup of April pop-ups and events. While based at its taproom, the schedule shows an active push into events in Tokyo and outside the prefecture, giving it a presence not just as a place to drink craft beer, but also as a hub for events.
The highlight is the "U.B.P BREWERY 40TAP TAKE OVER" from April 4 to 5, with IBREW Akihabara as the venue. The poster also says "Original collab IPA on tap!" so it looks like a chance to sample a wide range of U.B.P BREWERY beers.
Elsewhere, on April 12 at the Iida Sake Shop e-Nomi Festival in Shiki, there is a planned "Asaka no Kisaki Ale release celebration!" Asaka no Kisaki Ale is known as a fruit beer made using mandarins that grew at the eaves of farms in Asaka City, and it is a beer that makes use of the peel to leave a clean citrus character.
The busy schedule continues on the weekends with the Saitama Musashino Beer Fest from April 18 to 19, the Chiba Beer Fest from April 25 to 26, and Nago Beer on April 26. There will also be pop-ups in Urawa Misono timed to Urawa Reds home games, with the schedule packed through April 29. Rather than simply drinking leisurely inside the shop, delivering beer in a way that connects with city events is what gives this taproom its appeal.
