The brewpub AQUWA brew works in Minami-Urawa, Saitama, announced on Instagram its business schedule from May 29 to June 1 and the Hime Beer collaboration event on May 30. On that day, the lineup will center on fruit sour styles made with juice, alongside house-brewed beers and guest labels.
Hop BroAQUWA brew works in Minami-Urawa really came out swinging with its 5/30 collaboration event. They also announced the business schedule from May 29 to June 1, so this weekend is one to watch.
MugiWhat! Just the fact that it's an event in Minami-Urawa is exciting enough, and it's running for that long too? And if it's a collaboration, I'm really curious what they're serving!
Hop BroThe main attraction is a limited juice-heavy lineup. Le Lectier, Sakura and Konatsu, Konatsu Hime, Blood Hime, Hime Mons, and Blood Hime Mons - even the names alone are bursting with fruitiness.
MugiWait, there are that many fruit sour styles? Le Lectier already sounds both fancy and tart just from the name!
Hop BroAnd it's not just sweet, either. The structure really leans into acidity, using juice as the core so it drinks refreshing while still letting the aroma come through strongly - that's what makes the balance interesting.
MugiOhhh! So there are beers too? If it were only sours the whole time, I think I'd start getting a little restless.
Hop BroOf course. AQUWA brew works' house brews have a lineup full of distinctive styles - the Bohemian pilsner Chieko, the modern IPA Beyond time, the golden strong ale Minami-Urawa Golden Gai, the peanut stout Masa Kuro, and even Kudamonz.
MugiWhat, a peanut stout!? With a name like Masa Kuro, it already sounds intense, and now it's got nutty character too? I'm intrigued, but also a little scared!
Hop BroOn top of that, Kyoto Brewing's two guest labels, Summer Whim and Shigoku Tozen, are in the mix too, so the tasting comparison should be a lot of fun. The 17:00-22:00 hours, plus Okamocchan's planned appearance, also gives it that nice on-the-ground feel.
MugiAnd they even have hearty food like a double cheese lamb burger? That's the best! If I can just drop in cashlessly, I want to head to Minami-Urawa right now and have a drink!

According to the post, the shop will be open from 17:00 to 22:00 on May 30, and brewer Okamocchan is also scheduled to appear.
The highlight of the day will be a lineup of limited fruit sours built around juice. The selection is set to feature drinks that bring acidity and fruit character to the forefront, including "Le Lectier" made with pear, "Sakura and Konatsu" made with Yamagata cherry juice and hyuganatsu juice, "Konatsu Hime" packed with hyuganatsu juice, "Blood Hime" made with blood orange juice, "Hime Mons" with iyokan juice and mango, and "Blood Hime Mons" combining blood orange and mango.
The beers from AQUWA brew works should not be missed either. The lineup has a clear craft-brew identity, with house brews such as the Bohemian pilsner "Chieko," the modern IPA "Beyond time," the golden strong ale "Minami-Urawa Golden Gai," the peanut stout "Masa Kuro," and the brewery's established label "Kudamonz." The guest side also includes Kyoto Brewing's "Summer Whim" and "Shigoku Tozen," making it easy to compare each beer's character one by one.
The food menu will also include hearty dishes such as a double cheese lamb burger, a block of lamb shoulder meat, and tomato avocado mashed gratin. The venue also notes cashless payment support, adding to the convenience that makes it feel like a brewpub you can drop into casually in Minami-Urawa.
