u.b.p_brewery taproom, 7 taps running on 4/16 for a tasting in Urawa
On April 16, u.b_brewery taproom released its business information for Urawa. Seven varieties, including Kickoff Pils, Iroha (彩白～IROHA～), and OWN GOAL IPA, will be on tap, and they can be enjoyed with tortilla dogs and pizza. The post also announced an appearance at Sakura Town on 4/18 and 4/19.
Hop BroToday, the 7 taps running in Urawa are the hot topic. This is what u.b.p_brewery taproom announced on April 16, and the lineup runs from Kickoff Pils to OWN GOAL IPA.
MugiWhoa! Seven kinds on tap!? With that many, I'm already screaming before I even choose!
Hop BroAnd the nice thing is, it's not just a lot of beer. You get a mix of personalities, from an easy-drinking pilsner to an IPA with a strong hop presence. The lineup is Kickoff Pils, Iroha (彩白～IROHA～), URAWA CITY ALE, YUZU RISING, OWN GOAL IPA, Bombonera, and La bomba.
MugiWhat is that! When you say hops are standing out, do the hops stand up and start a meeting or something?
Hop BroNo meetings, but they do make themselves heard. When we talk about hop presence, we mean you really get bitterness, citrus, and grassy notes. OWN GOAL IPA is the beer you want if that's what you're after.
MugiOhhh! So YUZU RISING is the yuzu-aroma refreshing kind, right? If I drank that after work, my brain would instantly switch into weekend mode!
Hop BroExactly, and the food is great too. They have tortilla dogs, pizza, assorted sausages, and even pork liver and cheek pâté, so the best move is to go light with the first drink and then snack as you go with the later ones.
MugiWait, they even have a four-kind sausage platter!? That's basically a cheer squad for beer. The snacks are way too serious!
Hop BroAnd the hours are 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., so it's easy to swing by after work, which feels very Urawa. It's the perfect time to have a fresh beer or two.
MugiI love it. Just a night drinking in Urawa makes me happy! And on 4/18 and 4/19 they're also going to the "Saitama/Musashino Beer Fest in Sakura Town 2026 Spring" at KADOKAWA Sakura Town, right?
Hop BroThat's right. Prepping at the taproom first and then tasting at the festival on the weekend is the best flow. Now, let's start with a toast with Kickoff Pils, and then move on to Iroha (彩白～IROHA～).
MugiDeal! I'll start with Kickoff Pils, and you, brother, will probably start talking your way through the IPA. I want to go today and taste Urawa's beer for myself!
What u.b.p_brewery taproom announced on April 16 was the day's business information and tap list. Business hours are 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. (last order 30 minutes before closing). In the style of a brewpub in Urawa, it is set up so you can drop by after work and enjoy freshly brewed beer with light food.
The beer lineup for the day features seven varieties.
- Kickoff Pils
- Iroha (彩白～IROHA～)
- URAWA CITY ALE
- YUZU RISING
- OWN GOAL IPA
- Bombonera
- La bomba
As the names suggest, the lineup ranges from Kickoff Pils, centered on the easy-drinking appeal of a pilsner, to OWN GOAL IPA, which invites attention to its hop presence, and YUZU RISING, where you can expect a yuzu aroma. URAWA CITY ALE, Iroha (彩白～IROHA～), Bombonera, and La bomba are also on the list, making it a selection that reflects Urawa's local character and soccer culture.
The food is designed to pair easily while still keeping beer as the star. In addition to tortilla dogs, anchovy garlic pizza, and Margherita pizza, there are four kinds of sausages, a six-slice assorted sausage plate, pork liver and cheek pâté, freshly shaved Gouda cheese, red-and-white pickles, smoked quail eggs, mixed nuts, and dried figs. It is the kind of place where you can start light with the first drink and then take your time snacking with the later rounds.
The post also announced plans to appear at the "Saitama/Musashino Beer Fest in Sakura Town 2026 Spring" at KADOKAWA Sakura Town on April 18 and 19. It is easy to make a flow of checking the current flavors at the taproom first, then heading to the venue on the weekend to enjoy a Saitama brewery tasting. A day drinking in Urawa, and a day expanded by a festival. This is the kind of guide that connects both.
