U.B.P BREWERY Taproom in Urawa to open Memorial Match for 4th anniversary
U.B.P BREWERY Taproom in Urawa, Saitama, will hold its 4th-anniversary party on August 1 and 2. The brewery has already tapped the anniversary IPA Memorial Match, while draft and canned house beers, plus special food, will be available across the two days.
Hop BroUrawa’s U.B.P BREWERY Taproom is throwing a 4th anniversary party on August 1 and 2. And the commemorative IPA, Memorial Match, is already pouring early.
MugiWhat! Early tapping means the celebration starts before the main event? That alone makes me want to go already!
Hop BroThe star of the show is Memorial Match, an ABV 7.5%, IBU 31 West Coast IPA. It’s got tropical fruit and berry-like aromas, with a light, dry finish that sounds really clean.
MugiHold on, IBU 31 means what exactly!? It sounds like a test score. Is the beer being graded or something?
Hop BroIBU is basically a bitterness scale. At 31, it’s not a face-punch bitter bomb, more like a pleasant snap that lets the aroma shine, so it should be pretty approachable for a West Coast IPA.
MugiNo way, and the hops are Columbus, Superdelic, Strata, and Citra? Those are aggressively cool names. That sounds less like ingredients and more like a superhero squad!
Hop BroAnd then they add Nectaron CRYO, which is the sneaky flex. The hop blueprint is seriously stacked, and CRYO is basically a process that helps pull out the bright aromatic parts more efficiently.
MugiWhat is that, like a concentrated aroma mode!? And if they’ve got both draft and cans of their house beers, the afterparty can continue at home!
Hop BroOn the anniversary lineup, you’ve got Kickoff Pils, IROHA, HOMETOWN ALE, UNDERLAP Pilsner, and Hazy Celebration, so it’s a soccer-themed lineup all over the place. August 1 leans Chinese-inspired, and August 2 brings Cantabile’s quiche and deli spread.
MugiA commemorative IPA with shumai, boiled dumplings, and Chinese-style beef pie? That’s anniversary food mode for real... And then quiche on day two? My stomach has already booked the weekend.
Hop BroAt that point, the move is obvious: grab the limited anniversary pour on draft, then take some cans home if it hits. Memorial Match sounds like something I’d want to drink immediately.
