Two New IPA Taps Open at Urawa's u.b.p_brewery taproom, with Seven Taps on Offer
On April 11, 2026, u.b.p_brewery taproom released its in-house tap list for the Urawa location. New IPA "OWN GOAL IPA" and hazy IPA "Bombonera" joined the lineup, alongside seven total beers including Kickoff Pils and 彩白～IROHA～. A sales event for Urawa Craft Shumai is also being announced at the shop.
Hop BroAt Urawa's `u.b.p_brewery taproom`, two new IPA releases have been tapped. With `OWN GOAL IPA` and `Bombonera` on the list, today's tap lineup is seriously hot.
MugiWhat! Two IPAs at once? That alone is enough to get me hyped! And the names are so soccer-like, it feels totally Urawa!
Hop Bro`OWN GOAL IPA` is a collaboration with IBREW Akihabara, boasting IBU 100, and the key is its solid brown body with strong bitterness. It's the kind of beer where the hop character comes through clearly.
MugiIBU 100—is that like a bitterness score? The number feels way too strong; the beer sounds like it might get sent off before kickoff!
Hop BroExactly. IBU is a rough guide to bitterness. 100 is quite high, so you can expect a big, punchy bitterness. It should be irresistible for people who like a beer with real heft.
Mugi`Bombonera` sounds great too! Citrus notes from NZ hops in a hazy? So it's refreshing even though it's hazy? I wonder if it's softly sweet but still aromatic!
Hop BroThat's right. In collaboration with Komuro Beer, `Bombonera` is finished as a refreshing hazy. Think of a murky, soft mouthfeel layered with the tropical and citrus character of New Zealand hops.
MugiWhoa! And with `Kickoff Pils`, `彩白～IROHA～`, and the others, the seven-tap lineup is way too luxurious! It feels like a soccer starting lineup announcement!
Hop Bro`URAWA CITY ALE`, `YUZU RISING`, and `La bomba` are also on tap, so it's a lineup where you can enjoy a wide range of flavors in one day. It's nice that you can choose based on your mood, from pilsners to fruity styles.
MugiAnd they're even holding a sales event for Urawa Craft Shumai at the shop! Beer plus shumai snacks is basically the perfect Urawa happiness set, right?
Hop BroExactly. On the first floor of Hotel Global View Urawa, it's easy to stop in before or after a match, so today is the kind of day that won't end with just one drink. I want to start with `Bombonera` right away.
MugiMe too! I want to gear up with a bitter IPA and finish with shumai! Today, in Urawa, drinking is the only option!
