BEER HUNTING URAWA Opens Minoh Beer’s Kozaru IPA and 10 Drafts on June 10
BEER HUNTING URAWA announced its June 10 lineup for 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., featuring Minoh Beer’s Kozaru IPA as a new tap. The roster also includes house beers from U.B.P BREWERY and guest pours from breweries such as Shiga Kogen and Nomcraft.
Hop BroToday’s topic is BEER HUNTING URAWA and the June 10 tap list. They’re open from 5 to 11 p.m., and the fresh tap is Minoh Beer’s Kozaru IPA.
MugiWhat! The fresh-tapped Kozaru IPA sounds way too cute. But what kind of beer is it?
Hop BroHere’s the good part: it’s a citrusy session IPA with bright American-hop aroma, but the body stays light and easy. Perfect for warm weather.
MugiOkay, but what session IPA means is still a mystery to me. It sounds like a beer for office meetings, which feels unsafe!
Hop BroFair question. It’s basically an easy-drinking IPA with lighter strength, while the hop aroma still comes through. The meeting would absolutely collapse, though.
MugiNo way! And they’ve got their house lineup too, right? Four U.B.P beers already sounds like I need a strategy.
Hop BroYep. URAWA CITY ALE, Kick Off Pils, Shadow, KEYAKI FORWARD, plus hand-pulled real ale on a pump. That’s where it gets extra fun.
MugiHold on, that hand-pump server sounds less like beer gear and more like blacksmith equipment. What changes when they use it?
Hop BroIt softens the carbonation and gives you a gentler mouthfeel. Try that next to the regular pour of URAWA CITY ALE and it feels like the same beer in a different mood.
MugiOhhh, that’s weirdly emotional. And if Shiga Kogen’s 1t IPA is on too, IPA fans are going to lose all self-control very politely.
Hop BroExactly. Add Umenishiki’s Sokujou aged one year, Hop Kotan’s Origin to Future, and Nomcraft’s Octopus King, and you can jump from bitter and pale ale to hazy IPA in a full style range. I want a glass already.
MugiWith that warm wooden pub vibe and the Kamakura Kitchen food day, this is dangerous in the best way. Tonight calls for a side-by-side tasting.
BEER HUNTING URAWA, a craft beer pub in Kita-Urawa, shared its tap list for Wednesday, June 10. The shop is open from 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., with food last order at 10:00 p.m. and drinks last order at 10:30 p.m. The post also notes that the day is "Kamakura Kitchen Day," making it a good night for pairing beer with food.
The featured new tap is Minoh Beer’s Kozaru IPA. The brewery describes it as a session IPA with bright citrus aroma from American hops, making it an easy pick for the warmer season. It is the kind of beer that works well when you want hop character without too much weight.
The core of the lineup comes from the pub’s own U.B.P BREWERY in Urawa. On tap are URAWA CITY ALE, Kick Off Pils, Shadow, and KEYAKI FORWARD, giving the night a strong local foundation. The post also highlights real ale pours on the hand pump server, including URAWA CITY ALE and Minoh Beer’s Pale Ale Real Ver., which lets drinkers compare a softer, cask-style texture with standard draft service.
Guest beers bring a wide range of styles into the mix. Umenishiki’s Sokujou 1-Year Aged, Hoppu Kotan Brewery’s Origin to Future, Nomcraft’s Octopus King, and Shiga Kogen Beer’s 1t IPA round out the list. Together they cover bitter, pale ale, session IPA, hazy IPA, and imperial IPA territory, so the lineup is broad enough for both casual drinkers and hop-focused beer fans.
BEER HUNTING URAWA is known for its relaxed, wood-toned pub atmosphere and a draft selection centered on Japanese craft beer. With its own brewery beers, rotating guest taps, and a food menu designed to match beer, it is the kind of place where you can drop in for one pint or stay for a full tasting session.
