U.B.P BREWERY Appears at Kakegawa Craft Beer Festa 2026 Spring

In an Instagram post, U.B.P BREWERY (Saitama) was introduced as exhibitor information ④ for Kakegawa Craft Beer Festa 2026 Spring. The event will be held over two days: Tuesday, May 5, 11:00-20:00, and Wednesday, May 6, 11:00-20:00. The venue is at 7-20 Ekimae, Kakegawa City, Shizuoka Prefecture, and is said to be a 3-minute walk from the north exit of Kakegawa Station.

The Beer to Watch Is "URAWA CITY ALE"

The recommended beer in this post is URAWA CITY ALE. The style is Bitter, and the specs are ABV 4% / IBU 21. It is also introduced as a WBA2025 gold award-winning beer, and the description says it is "craft beer from the city of Urawa," characterized by an aromatic malt aroma and a bitter taste you can keep drinking casually.

Background as a Urawa Brewpub

U.B.P BREWERY is described in the post as a brewery that began brewing in Urawa in December 2022, with the concept of "bringing the culture of beer x football from Urawa to the world" and "new ways to enjoy beer in your everyday life." As a brand closely connected to u.b.p_brewery taproom in Urawa Ward, Saitama City, it brings the beers enjoyed at the shop to the event venue.

In Kakegawa, it seems like a beer that will be easy to understand both for people who usually drink at the taproom and for those hearing the name for the first time. Rather than highlighting flashy limited brews, it is a straightforward challenge centered on the brand's core standard beer, and it has an approachable presence even among the festival's many options.

What to Look For at the Venue

The venue is within walking distance of Kakegawa Station, making it easy to attend from an access standpoint. At an event like this, where breweries carrying local character such as U.B.P BREWERY gather, part of the fun is not only the beer itself but also seeing the context in which each brewery presents its drink.

In this post, along with beer, Shizuoka's Tequila Diner was also introduced, showing attention to food pairings as well. While beer is the main attraction, the event also seems designed so visitors can enjoy it together with food, which appears to be one of the festival's highlights.

How will the Urawa brewpub be received in Kakegawa? Centered on URAWA CITY ALE, it looks like this could be a chance to spark interest in the beers of u.b.p_brewery taproom.
