BEER HUNTING URAWA Opens Shiga Kogen Beer’s Porter and YUKISHIRO on April 19
BEER HUNTING URAWA will be open on Sunday, April 19 from 2:00 PM to 10:00 PM, and will newly tap Shiga Kogen Beer’s Porter and Brasserie Knot’s YUKISHIRO. In addition to U.B.P BREWERY’s standard taps, the lineup offers a chance to enjoy real ale alongside food.
Hop BroToday, the April 19-only vibe in Kita-Urawa is strong. BEER HUNTING URAWA is open from 2:00 PM to 10:00 PM, and they’ve newly tapped Shiga Kogen Beer’s Porter and Brasserie Knot’s YUKISHIRO. That’s not something you want to miss.
MugiWhoa! Two new taps already makes me excited! But a porter and a weizen feel totally different, right?
Hop BroExactly. The key is that Shiga Kogen Beer’s Porter is also being offered as a real ale version. Since it’s poured with a hand-pump server, it has a soft mouthfeel, and the calm character of dark malt really comes through.
MugiWhat even is a hand-pump server? Just pouring it softly changes the taste too?
Hop BroIt does. The carbonation feels gentler, and the aroma comes forward more easily, so the porter’s rich dark-malt depth unfolds more slowly.
MugiOh wow. Then what’s YUKISHIRO like? Just hearing soft mouthfeel already makes it sound gentle!
Hop BroBrasserie Knot’s YUKISHIRO is a weizen, so you can expect yeast-driven banana-like notes and clove character. The shop’s core is U.B.P BREWERY, and its BEER HUNTING URAWA identity really comes through in the way it mixes house-brewed taps with labels from around Japan.
MugiWow, the tap list is amazing too! It feels like a cross-section of the country, and I’d probably stumble trying to decide what to drink first!
Hop BroU.B.P BREWERY has Kick Off Pils, Step Over IPA, and Bombonera, and on top of that there’s TOHOKU PRIDE, Stuck&Flow, Pray for 3.11, and Minamichita Blood Orange IPA. Since it spans from pilsner to IPA, today is all about tasting across styles.
MugiAnd they even have Chef Yoji’s impromptu risotto? That’s almost unfair! If I can enjoy beer and rice together, I have to go.
In a post on Sunday, April 19, BEER HUNTING URAWA (Kita-Urawa) announced hours of 2:00 PM to 10:00 PM, with food last order at 9:00 PM and drinks last order at 9:30 PM. As a craft-beer-focused beer pub, the shop’s strength is a lineup centered on its own brews from U.B.P BREWERY, mixed with labels from across Japan.
The day’s new taps were Shiga Kogen Beer’s Porter and Brasserie Knot’s YUKISHIRO. The Porter was also introduced as a real ale version, served through a hand-pump server. It will likely appeal to anyone who wants to take their time with a dark, mellow beer. YUKISHIRO is a weizen from Brasserie Knot in Hokkaido, and the lineup suggests a soft, easy-drinking profile.
The tap list includes Urawa’s own brewed beers: Kick Off Pils, Step Over IPA, and Bombonera. In addition, TOHOKU PRIDE (BLACK TIDE BREWING), Stuck&Flow (Hop Kotan Brewing), Pray for 3.11 (BLACK TIDE BREWING), and Minamichita Blood Orange IPA (Y.MARKET) are also on the board, making for a wide range from a crisp pilsner to hazy double IPA and fruit IPA.
On the food side, Chef Yoji’s dishes were also highlighted, and the post strongly recommended the “impromptu risotto” made with rice from his family’s rice farm. BEER HUNTING URAWA is the kind of place where you can enjoy not just beer, but a full meal as well. It also says it has been expanding its non-beer drink options, showing a willingness to serve a broad range of drinking styles even as a craft-beer-centered shop.
