Hop BroKita-Urawa is looking very good today. At BEER HUNTING URAWA, the fresh-tap star is Miyazaki Hideji Beer's "Fresh-Squeezed Nichinan Lemon Session Hazy IPA," and they're open on August 2 from 14:00 to 22:00.
MugiWhat! That name is packed! It has lemon and IPA in one breath, and now my brain feels like a citrus traffic jam!
Hop BroThat is exactly why it's fun. Session Hazy IPA means an easy-drinking Session beer with the soft aroma and hazy character you expect from a Hazy IPA.
MugiWhoa, but what is Session? Every time I hear that, I feel like someone's about to start a band rehearsal!
Hop BroFair question. Lower alcohol, easier pace is basically the idea, so you can enjoy a few glasses, and that works really well with bright lemon in hot weather.
MugiOkay, so it's a summer crusher. Just hearing "fresh-squeezed Nichinan lemon" already makes my mouth feel refreshed!
Hop BroAnd this lineup also has real ale in focus. HOME TOWN ALE and Kinki Pale Ale SP Real Ver. are poured by hand pump, so the carbonation stays gentler and the mouthfeel gets softer.
MugiNo way! A hand-pump pour is that dramatic pump-pump move the bartender does, right? I want to see that and compare it with the regular taps!
Hop BroExactly, that pump action has romance. On top of that, Urawa-made house beers like Kick Off Pils, Saihaku, and OWN GOAL IPA sit beside beers from Shiga Kogen, Daisen G Beer, KANKIKU BREWERY, and Yamorido, so the range runs from lagers to stouts to smoky styles.
MugiWow, this is a tasting-flight paradise. Add assorted snacks or shumai on the side, and both of us are absolutely getting pulled toward that Fresh-Squeezed Nichinan Lemon Session Hazy IPA!
