BEER HUNTING URAWA posts June 8 tap list with two real ales on hand pump
Beer Hunting Urawa in Kita-Urawa shared its June 8 service hours and tap list. The lineup features two hand-pumped real ales, three house beers from U.B.P BREWERY, and a wide range of craft beers from across Japan, alongside an expanded food and non-beer drink menu.
Hop BroToday's headline is BEER HUNTING URAWA and its June 8 tap list. It's open 5:00-11:00 p.m. in Kita-Urawa, and the big draw is two real ales poured by hand pump.
MugiWait, two real ales is a big deal? That name sounds like the beer is about to confess its feelings!
Hop BroIt kind of is. A hand-pump server pulls beer gently from the cask, so the carbonation stays softer and the aroma comes through rounder and smoother.
MugiNo way, so a hand pump is the thing where the bartender basically does arm day while pouring? That already tastes fun.
Hop BroExactly. The stars are URAWA CITY ALE from U.B.P BREWERY and Pale Ale Real ver from Minoh Beer, so you get a Urawa-vs-Osaka real-ale faceoff.
MugiThat is Urawa vs Osaka in a glass! Same format, different personalities. My taste buds are leaning forward.
Hop BroAnd it doesn't stop there. Their three house beers are Kick Off Pils, Shadow, and KEYAKI FORWARD, while the full list runs from pilsner and dark lager to hazy IPA and imperial IPA.
MugiHold on, what is Dip Hop IPA supposed to be? It sounds like a special move. Do I evolve if I drink it?
Hop BroEvolution not guaranteed, but 1t IPA shows how bold this list gets. Dip Hop IPA is basically an IPA brewed to pull out hop aroma more vividly, so think extra fragrant and expressive.
Hop BroThe setup is solid too: 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. for service, food last order at 10:00 p.m., drinks at 10:30 p.m., plus eight lemon sours and shumai if you want more than just beer.
MugiThen I am absolutely doing a closed-day check first. June 9, 14-16, 23, and 30 are off, June 21 is private, and now I want to see the Teenage x Nobody takeover on the 18th and Nosecurry! on the 27th.
Hop BroThat is the right plan. We start with a real-ale toast, then work through the house beers, the national IPA lineup, and some shumai. This article made me thirsty.
BEER HUNTING URAWA, a craft-beer pub in Kita-Urawa, announced its June 8 (Monday) service hours as 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. Food last orders are at 10:00 p.m., and drink last orders are at 10:30 p.m. The shop notes that its hours changed in March, so visitors should check the current schedule before heading over.
The highlight of the day is a pair of real ales poured on a hand pump. The list includes "URAWA CITY ALE / U.B.P BREWERY" from Urawa and "Pale Ale Real Ver. / Minoh Beer" from Osaka. These cask-style pours fit the pub's ongoing move toward a more craft-focused, beer-centric bar program.
House beers are also on tap under the Hunting label: "Kick Off Pils," "Shadow," and "KEYAKI FORWARD." Beyond that, the June lineup spans a broad range of styles and breweries: "Sokujou 1-Year Aged / Umenishiki," "Origin to Future / Hop Kotan Brewing," "Dark Lager / Myoko Kogen Alpen Brick," "Octopus King / Nomcraft," and "1t IPA / Shiga Kogen Beer." The selection covers pilsner, dark ale, hazy IPA, West Coast pale ale, dark lager, Dip Hop IPA, and imperial IPA, making it a strong stop for style variety.
Beer Hunting Urawa is also expanding beyond beer. The pub now offers a larger drink menu, including eight lemon sours made with non-wax lemons from Mieshima, Hiroshima, plus fruit-forward grated-citrus sours for guests who prefer something other than beer. The food menu was refreshed alongside the hand-pump setup and now centers on shumai, with small plates and fuller dishes available for solo diners and groups alike.
For June, the shop lists closures on the 2nd, 9th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 23rd, and 30th, with a private booking on the 21st. Upcoming events include a Teenage x Nobody tap takeover on June 18 and "Nose Curry!" on June 27, reinforcing the bar's role as a destination for beer fans in the Urawa area.
