u.b.p_brewery taproom to Hold Tap Takeover at IBREW Akihabara Starting April 4
An Instagram post from u.b.p_brewery taproom announced a Tap Takeover at IBREW Akihabara for two days, April 4 and 5. The lineup includes the collaboration IPA OWN GOAL IPA and other beers typical of U.B.P BREWERY.
Hop Brou.b.p_brewery taproom in Saitama City's Urawa Ward is holding a Tap Takeover at IBREW Akihabara starting April 4.
MugiWait, so you can drink a whole lineup of Urawa beers in Akihabara!? And it's only for two days, so we'd better hurry!
Hop BroExactly, and the headliner is OWN GOAL IPA, brewed together with the IBREW staff. I like that it has a soccer-inspired name and even the little line about carrying bitter feelings in our hearts.
MugiCarrying bitter feelings in our hearts? What is that supposed to mean! Is this the beer you drink after giving up a goal!? The name hits hard!
Hop BroHaha, it's a metaphor, right? The beer itself is a proper IPA, a collaboration IPA where you enjoy hop bitterness and aroma.
MugiI see! And the lineup names alone are fun: Kickoff Pils, URAWA CITY ALE, and more!
Hop BroOn top of that, Hazy Celebration, La bomba, and even 彩白～IROHA～ are on the list, so the range is wide, from crisp pilsners to hazy styles.
MugiWait, Hazy again! That means cloudy, right? It's not mushroom soup, is it!?
Hop BroDon't worry, it's not mushroom soup. It's a juicy style that keeps hop-derived and yeast-derived haze, so it tends to bring out a fruity impression.
MugiAnd there's tortilla dogs, pizza, sausages, and more! It's so ready for a tasting that my stomach might enter the venue before I do!
Hop BroSelf-serve water and no cover charge make it easygoing too. With the barrel shipped from Urawa in front of us in Akihabara, I want to go all in from the first glass today.
MugiYeah, this is impossible to miss! If we can drink the taste of Urawa in Akihabara, we'd want to go right now too!

The announcement also mentioned canned beers currently sold at U.B.P BREWERY, including THE HOME＆AWAY CS GOSE, Bombonera, Drop Kick, Hattrick Hero, and LaLa Kölsch. At the Tap Takeover, visitors can enjoy, all at once, a selection of labels long loved in Urawa on the taps in Akihabara.
Food options include tortilla dogs, anchovy garlic pizza, Margherita pizza, as well as sausages, pate, and freshly shaved Gouda cheese, all designed to pair well with beer. True to its nature as a brewpub attached to a brewery, the venue has a straightforward, unfussy atmosphere. Self-service water and no cover charge also make it a good place to settle in and compare beers at leisure.
A cask shipped from the brewery in Urawa and a glass poured at the venue in Akihabara: this is a chance to experience them together. Over the two days of the event, it will be worth taking a slow, careful look at the U.B.P BREWERY lineup.
