Hop BroToday at u.b.p_brewery taproom in Urawa, the 7-keg tap update for June 1 has landed. The new UNDERLAP Pilsner and KEYAKI FORWARD are on the board, and it is a pretty intriguing lineup.
MugiWhoa! It is not just pilsners - there is IPA and stout too!? A broad lineup like that makes it impossible to choose from the start!
Hop BroExactly. There are lighter options like Kickoff Pils and LaLa Kolsch too, and Kickoff Pils has an elegant noble hop aroma.
MugiNoble hops, what even is that! It sounds like the aristocrats of the hop world, but is the noble hop aroma really that different?
Hop BroTo put it simply, it is a herbal aroma that does not feel sharp or aggressive. That is why the balance with the malt flavor comes together so nicely.
MugiI see! Then with LaLa Kolsch's crisp, clean finish, it sounds like something you could keep drinking through the rainy season!
Hop BroAnd another one to watch is KEYAKI FORWARD. It is a Hazy IPA brewed for the Keyaki Beer Festival, so you can enjoy the hazy appearance and the layered aroma.
MugiHazy IPA, you mean that cloudy one!? But the name is so upbeat it makes me feel energized, and the made for the Keyaki festival part makes it feel extra special!
Hop BroThe cans are strong too. Step Over is a West Coast IPA centered on Citra, and YUZU RISING is a yuzu saison made with Katsuragi yuzu from Moroyama, so there is fun to be had even when taking beer home.
MugiThe place is casual with self-service water, and the fact that there is no cover charge is great too! It looks like there are closure days on Wednesdays as well, so we should check before going.
Hop BroIt is nice that you can take your time drinking indoors even during the rainy season. By the end, I would want to go all the way to La bomba and start with a pilsner tasting comparison.
MugiYeah, I want to try the two new pilsners first too! If we take our time comparing beers in Urawa, I will definitely not want to go home!
