BEER HUNTING URAWA posts June 5 tap list with real-ale pours
BEER HUNTING URAWA in Kita-Urawa posted its June 5 tap list. Two hand-pumped real ales headline the lineup, joined by beers from U.B.P BREWERY, Minoh Beer, Umenishiki, Hoppotan Brewing, Mojiko Beer, and Brasserie Knot.
Hop BroNorth Urawa has a good one today. BEER HUNTING URAWA posted its June 5 tap list, and the stars are two real ales.
MugiWhat, two real ales? Is that really so different from regular draft beer? The name already sounds way too advanced!
Hop BroThat is the fun part. They're poured with a hand pump, so the carbonation stays softer and gives a gentler mouthfeel. Less fizzy sprint, more smooth stroll.
MugiA hand pump? Like beer by arm power? Why does ordering a pint suddenly sound like a workout?
Hop BroPretty much. It avoids blasting the beer with extra pressure, so U.B.P BREWERY's bitter URAWA CITY ALE can show off its malt character, and Minoh Beer's W-IPA Real ver. comes across rounder on the nose.
MugiNo way, W-IPA Real ver. is a double IPA and still drinks smooth? Strong and polite is a dangerous combo!
Hop BroAnd the regular taps are stacked too. U.B.P BREWERY has Kick Off Pils, Shadow, and KEYAKI FORWARD, plus Origin to Future for a West Coast pale ale lane, so the range is seriously wide.
MugiHold on, what does a hazy IPA even taste like? The name sounds like hops dancing inside a fog machine.
Hop BroHonestly, that is not far off. A hazy IPA usually leans into juicy aromatics with a cloudy look and softer feel, so KEYAKI FORWARD sounds like the plush fruity pick.
MugiI already can't choose! Umenishiki's Sokujyo aged one year and Mojiko Beer's Amakusa Shiranui Weizen make this feel like a cross-country beer trip without leaving North Urawa.
Hop BroAnd they're open from 5:00 to 11:30 p.m., with food and a bottle shop corner, so you can build a full beer night from first pour to last call. That kind of place makes me want a serious drinking plan.
MugiThat is completely unfair. I want to start with the real ale, then finish with No Maps or Papa-zaru Lager. Let's go drink now!
BEER HUNTING URAWA in Kita-Urawa, Saitama, has shared its tap list for Friday, June 5. The pub is open from 17:00 to 23:30, with food last order at 22:30 and drink last order at 22:45. As a craft-beer pub, it offers a counter and several four-seat tables, making it easy to stop in alone or with a small group.
The highlight of the day is the real-ale service on a hand pump. `URAWA CITY ALE` from `U.B.P BREWERY` and `W-IPA Real ver.` from `Minoh Beer` are listed as hand-pumped pours, giving drinkers a softer, more measured presentation than a standard keg pour.
