BEER HUNTING URAWA, a craft beer pub in Kita-Urawa, shared its June 12 Friday service hours and tap list. The bar is open from 17:00 to 23:30, with food last call at 22:00 and drinks last call at 22:30. Since revising its hours in March, the pub has been expanding both its drink lineup and food menu.

The board leans heavily on U.B.P BREWERY from Urawa, with 10 beers spanning a wide range of styles. The hand-pumped real ale version of "URAWA CITY ALE" leads the list, alongside house beers such as "Kick Off Pils," "Shadow," and "KEYAKI FORWARD." Guest beers include Minoh Beer’s "Pale Ale Real Ver." and "Kozaru IPA," Umenishiki’s "Sokujyo 1-year aged," Hop Kotan’s "Origin to Future," Nomcraft’s "Octopus King," and Shiga Kogen Beer’s "1t IPA." The selection runs from pilsner and dark ale to hazy IPA and imperial IPA, making it a solid lineup for anyone who wants to compare styles side by side.

Food is part of the appeal as well: assorted snacks, steamed shrimp tom yum salad, carrot rapée with whole-grain mustard, and house chicken ham with broccoli are on offer. With Kita-Urawa Station West Exit about 90 seconds away on foot, it works well for a quick stop or a longer tasting session.
