BEER HUNTING URAWA to pour Ushitora Brewery's Triple IPA '三十苦'
BEER HUNTING URAWA in Kita-Urawa, Saitama, will open on Sunday, July 12 from 2:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. The lineup includes three house beers from U.B.P BREWERY and Ushitora Brewery's '三十苦' served as a real ale, alongside seven guest taps.
Hop BroNorth Urawa is looking lively today. BEER HUNTING URAWA is open on July 12 from 2:00 to 10:00 p.m., and it's going big with 10 taps from the afternoon.
MugiWait, 10 taps from lunch on a Sunday? That feels wildly unfair in the best way!
Hop BroThe headliner is the real ale lineup poured by hand pump, with U.B.P BREWERY's "URAWA CITY ALE" and Ushitora Brewery's "Sanjukku" on.
MugiHold on, hand-pump server? What is that, beer dispensing plus arm day?
Hop BroNot quite that athletic. It gets pulled gently without loading in extra carbonation, so you get a softer mouthfeel and the flavor opens up.
MugiOhh! So "URAWA CITY ALE" is a 4.0% bitter that's easy to keep sipping? The name alone is full-on Urawa pride.
Hop BroExactly. And U.B.P BREWERY also brings "Kick Off Pils," "Saihaku," and "Raspberry Light," so the core three beers are all there too.
Mugi"Sanjukku" already sounds like a training montage. A triple IPA won't blast my eyebrows off, right?
Hop BroIPA means a hop-forward style, and this is the powered-up version. Even at 10% ABV, it's supposed to slide down easily, which is dangerously delicious.
MugiWhoa, that's a stealth final boss. And if the range goes from crisp pilsner to deep dark stout, my whole day is gone.
Hop BroThen add Karuizawa Q's "Lazy Afternoon," Brasserie Knot's "KOURO," Shiga Kogen's "Yuru Buru spelt" and "Sono Ju," Myoko Kogen's "Golden Ale," and Daisen G Beer’s "Imperial Stout 2023". That's a seriously wide range of taps.
MugiAnd they have lemon sour, grated-daikon sour, half fried hokke, and shumai? The snack bench is absurdly strong. My so-called dry day is weeping.
Hop BroThey even say seats should be available, and there's takeaway from the bottle shop corner, so this feels like a start strong kind of day.
MugiDecision made. Real ale first, something rich at the end, and now I have exactly one thought: I need a pint now!
BEER HUNTING URAWA, a beer pub in Kita-Urawa, Saitama, is scheduled to open on Sunday, July 12 from 2:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Food last order is 9:00 p.m., and drinks last order is 9:30 p.m. The shop describes the Sunday service as a daytime beer session, and says there is still plenty of seating available.
The highlight of the day is the hand-pumped real ale service. The local U.B.P BREWERY beer "URAWA CITY ALE" (bitter, ABV 4.0%) is joined by Ushitora Brewery's triple IPA "三十苦" (ABV 10%). The post notes that it drinks surprisingly easily for a 10% beer, making it a notable pick for people who want something strong but approachable.
U.B.P BREWERY also contributes "Kick Off Pils," "彩白," and "ラズベリーライト." Guest taps add a wide range of styles: "Lazy Afternoon" from Karuizawa Q, "KOURO" from Brasserie Knot, Shiga Kogen Beer’s "ゆるブルspelt" and "其の十," "ゴールデンエール" from Myoko Kogen Beer, and "インペリアルスタウト2023" from Daisen G Beer. The result is a lineup that moves from crisp pilsner to dark stout.
Beyond beer, the pub offers lemon sours made with wax-free lemons from Misakijima in Hiroshima and a grated-citrus sour. The food menu includes fried hokke, shrimp tom yum salad, carrot rappe, and assorted shumai. There is also a bottle-shop corner, so takeaway-only visits are welcome. It is a solid setup for anyone wanting to spend a Sunday exploring draft beer in northern Urawa.
