BEER HUNTING URAWA posts June 17 tap list with U.B.P BREWERY and Minoh Beer
BEER HUNTING URAWA in Kita-Urawa shared its June 17 tap list. The lineup features two real ales on hand pump, three house beers from U.B.P BREWERY, and guest pours from Minoh Beer, Umenishiki, Hop Kotan Brewing, Nomcraft, and Shiga Kogen Beer.
Hop BroKitaurawa's BEER HUNTING URAWA dropped a seriously strong tap list for June 17. Ten beers to compare is the kind of lineup that makes choosing impossible.
MugiWhat! Ten taps is basically a festival! And it says two real ales. How is that different from regular draft?
Hop BroGood question. Real ale gets poured with a hand-pump server, so it keeps a softer, more natural carbonation instead of forcing extra fizz.
MugiWait, what? So it's beer but less sparkly? If I call it the gentle-bubbles one, am I close?
Hop BroPretty close. The real ale slots are U.B.P BREWERY's URAWA CITY ALE and Minoh Beer's pale ale real version, so it's shaping up as two slow-sipper pints.
MugiNice! And U.B.P BREWERY has three house beers too, right? Kick Off Pils already sounds like it wants stadium music.
Hop BroExactly. Kick Off Pils is a pilsner, Asakano Kisaki Ale is a mikan ale, and KEYAKI FORWARD is a hazy IPA, so the range of styles is doing real work here.
MugiHold on, hazy IPA sounds like a spell. What is hazy anyway? A delicious curse?
Hop BroIt does sound magical, but think of it as a cloudy IPA with big aroma and less sharp bitterness. From Umenishiki's Sokujou aged one year to Shiga Kogen Beer's 1t IPA, it's built for first pint to last.
MugiAnd then there's Hop Kotan Brewery's Origin to Future, Nomcraft's Octopus King, and even Minoh's Kozaru IPA. Kozaru IPA joins in and suddenly I need a strategy board.
Hop BroPlus the food got reworked around the hand pump, with shumai and easy solo orders, and there are eight lemon sours and grated-daikon sours too. I want this tonight is basically the intended effect.
MugiIf some kegs are already running low, we have to move fast! And June 18 has the Teenage x Nobody TTO next. I want to drink now so check if there's a seat, Hop bro!
BEER HUNTING URAWA, a craft-beer pub in Kita-Urawa, published its June 17 tap list. The lineup is built around two real-ale pours served from a hand-pump system, plus three house beers from U.B.P BREWERY and guest beers from breweries across Japan. The post also notes that a Teenage×Nobody TTO is scheduled for June 18, and that some beers are already down to low remaining volume.
The real-ale side features URAWA CITY ALE from U.B.P BREWERY and Pale Ale Real ver from Minoh Beer. U.B.P BREWERY’s own range also includes Kick Off Pils, Asaka no Kisaki Ale, and KEYAKI FORWARD, covering pilsner, mandarin-orange ale, and hazy IPA territory.
Elsewhere on the board are Sokujyo 1 Year Aged from Umenishiki, Origin to Future from Hop Kotan Brewing, Kozaru IPA from Minoh Beer, Octopus King from Nomcraft, and 1t IPA from Shiga Kogen Beer. That gives the night a broad spread of styles, from bitter and West Coast pale ale to session IPA, Dip Hop IPA, and imperial IPA.
Food is part of the draw too. The kitchen has been updated alongside the hand-pump setup, with shumai leading the menu and plates sized so solo drinkers can order comfortably. A lemon sour lineup made with non-waxed lemons from Mikasajima, Hiroshima, plus fruit-forward grated sour options, rounds out the non-beer choices. It is a practical place to spend an evening if you want beer, food, and a pub atmosphere in one stop.
