u.b.p_brewery taproom showcases 10 house-brewed beers in Urawa on April 18
u.b.p_brewery taproom, on the first floor of Hotel Global View Urawa in Takasago, Urawa Ward, is a brewpub centered on football culture. Its official website offers a broad range of house-brewed beers, from herbal session IPA to Hazy DIPA, gose, and Kölsch.
Hop BroWhat to keep in mind in Urawa on April 18 is u.b.p_brewery taproom's beer x football culture. It's a brewpub on the first floor of Hotel Global View Urawa where you can really enjoy house-brewed beer.
MugiWait! A brewery on the first floor of a hotel is kind of too cool, isn't it? Just hearing Urawa Ward's first on-site brewery makes me want to stop by already!
Hop BroThe lineup is broad too. For example, "Sukatto Herb Lemon SIPA" is a session IPA with a refreshing lemon aroma and lightness, while "Victory Song IPA" is a classic IPA that brings forward resinous bitterness and a dense citrus character.
MugiWhat is that! I get that a session IPA sounds lighter, but the name alone makes me buzz! What does session IPA mean?
Hop BroSimply put, it's the kind that keeps the alcohol presence modest while making the aroma easy to enjoy. And "ONSEN GOSE" stands out for its balance of saltiness and acidity, so it goes down smoothly even in warm, sticky weather.
MugiOh, so you can choose based on your mood. And there are also options like "LaLa Kölsch" and "OVERLAP Pilsner" with a clean mouthfeel!
Hop BroExactly. "IROHA" is a white beer made with Saitama Prefecture ingredients, and it has a nice airy aroma of coriander seed and orange peel. "BEER! WINNER!" also has a muscat-like aroma and works well as a beer for meals.
MugiWait, a beer that tastes like muscat grapes!? And names like "Aotearoa" and "Hop Craze" already sound like the hops are running wild! Does NZ hop Riwaka really smell that intense?
Hop BroThey have a lot of character. "Aotearoa" is a Hazy DIPA centered on Riwaka; "Punch Line" is a Hazy IPA collaboration with Black Tide Brewing; and "Hop Craze" is a DDH Hazy IPA that highlights Centennial's presence, so must-try for haze lovers.
MugiI'd want to line them up and compare them from noon! And with it being close to Urawa Station, open from 17:00-22:00 on weekdays and from 13:00 on Saturdays, being able to do daytime drinking near the station is the best!
A wide range of house brews to enjoy in Urawa
u.b.p_brewery taproom is Urawa Ward's first craft beer pub with an on-site brewery, located on the first floor of Hotel Global View Urawa. The core of the place is a "beer x football" culture, and it clearly aims to welcome everything from an everyday pint to a stop before or after a match.
Looking at the BEERS section on the official site, that direction is reflected clearly in the lineup as well. The easy-drinking "Sukatto Herb Lemon SIPA" is a session IPA with a refreshing lemon aroma and lightness. By contrast, "Victory Song IPA" is a solid, classic IPA with resinous bitterness and a strong citrus presence. "ONSEN GOSE," whose appeal lies in the balance of saltiness and acidity, is a style that also suits warmer seasons.
A broad range of bitterness, aroma, and food-friendliness
There are lager-leaning options too. "LaLa Kölsch" has softness derived from wheat malt, while "OVERLAP Pilsner" is a pilsner with a clean mouthfeel and firm bitterness. "IROHA," made with ingredients from Saitama Prefecture, is a white beer fragrant with coriander seed and orange peel, and is a label that gives off a distinctly local feel.
Among the pale ale styles, "BEER! WINNER!" looks like a reliable companion for meals, with an aroma reminiscent of muscat grapes and a crisp finish. In addition, "Aotearoa," which emphasizes hop character, is a Hazy DIPA built around New Zealand hop Riwaka; "Punch Line" is a Hazy IPA collaboration with Black Tide Brewing; and "Hop Craze" is a DDH Hazy IPA centered on Centennial's presence, so hazy fans should not miss them.
