BEER HUNTING URAWA announces June 13 taps with U.B.P BREWERY and Minoh Beer
BEER HUNTING URAWA, a beer pub in Kita-Urawa, released its June 13 Saturday lineup. The new pour of the day is Asaka no Kisaki Ale from U.B.P BREWERY, alongside hand-pumped real ales and a broad mix of guest beers from Minoh Beer, Hoppukotan Brewing, Numcraft, and Shiga Kogen Beer.
Hop BroKitaurawa is looking pretty strong today. BEER HUNTING URAWA posted its June 13 lineup, and the new tap is U.B.P BREWERY's Asaka no Kisaki Ale.
MugiWait, that name is adorable! What kind of beer is Asaka no Kisaki Ale? It sounds princessy, but does it secretly turn you into a warlord?
Hop BroLet's keep it peaceful. It's a mikan ale from U.B.P BREWERY at 4.5% ABV, so it sounds like an easy, citrusy pour.
MugiWhoa, okay. But what is a hand-pump server? Does the bartender's arm strength decide the flavor?
Hop BroA little, maybe, for the drama. But the real point is gentler pouring with less forced carbonation, so real ale feels softer and rounder in the mouth.
MugiThat sounds classy! And they even have Minoh Beer pale ale in a real version? That's unfairly good for both newbies and beer nerds.
Hop BroExactly. You get U.B.P's URAWA CITY ALE, Kick Off Pils, KEYAKI FORWARD, plus 忽布古丹, Nomcraft, and Shiga Kogen. It's basically a cross-country tap list.
MugiHold on, Octopus King says Dip Hop IPA. Is that a beer style or the name of a boss attack?
Hop BroMore like a brewing technique for pushing hop aroma. And with Shiga Kogen's 1t IPA at 9.5% ABV, this already feels like a tasting-night mission.
MugiIf they're open from 14:00 to 23:30 and there's food too, I'm in. I've already decided on mikan for round one, and you're ordering the real ale, deal?
BEER HUNTING URAWA in Kita-Urawa has published its tap lineup for Saturday, June 13. The pub will be open from 2:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m., with food last order at 10:00 p.m. and drinks last order at 10:30 p.m. The post also notes that the schedule changed in March, and that the day is intended as a lead-in to next week's TTO.
The new arrival of the day is Asaka no Kisaki Ale from U.B.P BREWERY. The shop describes the lineup as a place where drinkers can find both a beer they want and a drink they already love. BEER HUNTING URAWA centers its selection on its own U.B.P BREWERY beers, while also offering hand-pumped real ale service that brings a softer, less carbonated profile to the glass.
Today's tap list
- URAWA CITY ALE / U.B.P BREWERY (bitter, ABV 4.0%)

The lineup shows a wide range, from Urawa-born house beers to guests from Osaka, Hokkaido, Ehime, Wakayama, and Nagano. URAWA CITY ALE and the hand-pumped Pale Ale Real Ver. are especially notable for drinkers who want to compare standard service with real-ale style pouring. It is the kind of board that invites a slow round, one beer at a time.
Food is also part of the draw, with the venue adding lemon sour options and pub-style dishes to match the new beer program. For craft beer fans in North Urawa, this is a straightforward but compelling Saturday service: a local beer pub, a broad tap selection, and a real-ale focus that gives the house beers a distinct identity.
