BEER HUNTING URAWA lists 11 taps led by U.B.P BREWERY real ale on July 23
On July 23, BEER HUNTING URAWA, a beer pub in Kita-Urawa, highlighted an 11-tap lineup that includes a hand-pumped real ale from U.B.P BREWERY. The beer list spans house classics and guest pours, alongside summer-friendly food specials.
Hop BroKita-Urawa's BEER HUNTING URAWA came in with 11 taps on July 23. And one of them is a real ale from U.B.P BREWERY served by hand pump, which is exactly how you bait beer nerds like me.
MugiWait, real ale sounds intense already! And a hand pump isn't some setup where you have to bench-press the beer, right?
Hop BroCute misunderstanding. HOME TOWN ALE is an English pale ale, and serving it by hand pump gives you softer carbonation and a gentler mouthfeel instead of blasting it with gas.
MugiOooh! So U.B.P BREWERY isn't just that one pour, it has a pretty strong core house lineup too?
Hop BroVery strong. Kick Off Pils is a pilsner, La La Kölsch is a kolsch, Asaka no Kisaki Ale is a fruit ale, and Counter Attack! is an IPA, so the ABV starts at 4.5% and runs up to 7.5% depending on your mood.
MugiHold on, what is kolsch? The name sounds so elegant I can't tell if it's a beer or a skincare product!
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it's a light top-fermented style that's easy to drink. Clean and refreshing, but still softly aromatic, like the kind of beer that makes you say, 'Yep, first glass of the day.'
MugiNice! And the guest side has Myoko Kogen's pale ale, Minoh's Papa-zaru Lager, MASARU IPA, and Alps Weizen, so it's basically a national brewery meetup and I love that.
Hop BroThen you add ethnic motsu stew, gapao peppers, steamed veggies with tofu hummus, their famous shumai, plus lemon sour, grated-daikon sour, and a take-home bottle shop corner. Honestly it screams pour me one now.
MugiI'm finished, my brain is in full drinking mode now! I'd start with HOME TOWN ALE and then close it out with Counter Attack!.

That setup makes the tap list easy to read for anyone who wants a crisp, bright pint or something with more hop presence. The guest beers add depth with a pale ale, dark lager, session IPA, wheat beer, and a West Coast IPA.
The food menu also leans into warm-weather drinking. New dishes include ethnic motsu stew, gapao pepper, and steamed vegetables with tofu hummus. Beef tendon curry and assorted shumai are also available. Beyond beer, the pub serves lemon sours made with non-waxed lemons from Mieken Island in Hiroshima and a chunky oshi-oroshi-style sour. A bottle-shop corner is open too, so takeaway is available.
