Ryogoku/Kuramae’s "Minna no Craft Beer Bar" taps six U.B.P Brewing beers
Minna no Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku/Kuramae in Tokyo posted its tap list for March 24. Centered on Saitama’s U.B.P Brewing, it is serving six beers ranging from IPA to Belgian Wit. The post also shared recent updates from the shop, which puts special effort into food, especially pizza.
Hop BroFor the Ryogoku/Kuramae six-tap lineup, Minna no Craft Beer Bar has U.B.P Brewing lined up across the board this time. From IPA to Belgian Wit, it’s a lineup that makes tasting side by side really fun.
MugiWhoa! Six different beers and they’re all from the same brewery? That already makes me kind of excited!
Hop BroExactly. What’s interesting is that they’re all from U.B.P Brewing in Saitama. Step Over, Drop Kick, Kickoff Pils, Hazy Celebration, URAWA CITY ALE, and Saihaku - even the names already have a strong personality.
MugiStep Over and Drop Kick? These beers have serious soccer vibes! The names are so aggressive!
Hop BroThat’s what makes it fun. For example, you can compare different IPA styles, while something like Kickoff Pils gives you a clean pilsner option, so the differences in bitterness and drinkability are easy to pick up.
MugiI see. But what is Hazy DIPA? Hazy means cloudy, right? Why make it cloudy on purpose?
Hop BroGood question! The idea is to create a soft mouthfeel while bringing hop aroma to the front, and sometimes keeping some malt or wheat character as well. Belgian Wit beers like Saihaku also have that light, fluffy drinkability that comes from wheat.
MugiOhhh! Having wheat-based beers too means there’s a lot to enjoy at one place. I like that it’s not just bitter stuff, but gentler options too!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, this place is great because it focuses on pizza as well as beer. They’ve even been talking about prototype pizzas using eggs, so it really feels like a place where you want to order food alongside your glass.
MugiWhoa, that sounds amazing! Beer and pizza as a one-two punch is basically unbeatable, right? One sip, one slice, then back to the beer!
Hop BroAnd on April 4 there’s also a BLACK TIDE BREWING tap takeover announcement, so there’s plenty to keep following. It really makes you want to plan a drinking trip to Ryogoku/Kuramae.
MugiYeah, I want to go! If there’s the fun of tasting different beers and pizza too, then a weekend visit is the only option. Even just thinking about what to drink is already making me thirsty!
