BEER HUNTING URAWA simultaneously taps Step Over IPA in standard and real ale versions on April 17
North Urawa's BEER HUNTING URAWA simultaneously opened U.B.P BREWERY's Step Over IPA in both the standard version and a real ale version on April 17. The lineup featured a substantial tap list, ranging from Minoh Beer stout to the brewery's own beers and guest kegs.
Hop BroAt BEER HUNTING URAWA in North Urawa, the tap list for April 17 is seriously hot. Serving U.B.P BREWERY's Step Over IPA side by side in the standard version and the real version is pretty bold.
MugiWait, two versions of the same beer!? That sounds like it's made for tasting side by side and I'm already excited!
Hop BroExactly. One is served normally, and the other is a real ale poured with a hand pump. Instead of blasting it out under air pressure, it has a softer mouthfeel and a different way the aroma opens up, which is the interesting part.
MugiA hand pump sounds suddenly super artisanal...! Is one keg only really that rare?
Hop BroYeah, the real version is just one keg, so if you get to drink it, you're really lucky. And because Step Over IPA makes it easy to compare the hop aroma with IPA-style bitterness, the difference in character is easy to notice even with the same beer name.
MugiOhhh! And they have their own brewery beers too. I kind of love that the Hunting House Beer gives the place its own personality!
Hop BroThe lineup is strong too. Along with U.B.P BREWERY's Kick Off Pils, Meia Lua, and Hattrick Hero, you've got BLACK TIDE BREWING's TOHOKU PRIDE and Pray for 3.11, Hoppukotan Brewing's Stuck&Flow, and Y.MARKET's Minamichita Blood Orange IPA.
MugiWhat is this, a nationwide tour!? Having everything from pilsners to dark beers is so fun, with such a wide range from pilsner to stout!
Hop BroExactly. They even have Minoh Beer stout, so you can go from a refreshing pour to a dark beer you sip slowly. And on Fridays it's 17:00-23:30, with food like shumai on hand to match the beer.
MugiI love that they even have lemon sour, but craft beer is still clearly the star. I can't stop thinking I want to drink tonight, Hop-nii!
At the beer pub BEER HUNTING URAWA in North Urawa, the tap list for April 17 was announced. The highlight is that U.B.P BREWERY's Step Over IPA is offered in two versions: the regular one and a real ale version poured from a hand-pump server. The real ale version is limited to one keg, giving drinkers a chance to enjoy side-by-side comparisons of the same beer.
The lineup for the day is broad, including the brewery's own "Hunting House Beer." In addition to U.B.P BREWERY beers such as the standard Kick Off Pils, the NZ pale ale Meia Lua, and the hazy triple IPA Hattrick Hero, the list also includes BLACK TIDE BREWING's TOHOKU PRIDE and Pray for 3.11, Hoppukotan Brewing's Stuck&Flow, and Y.MARKET's Minamichita Blood Orange IPA. Minoh Beer stout is also on the list, making for a well-rounded selection that ranges from crisp pilsners to dark beers.
According to the shop's notice, Friday hours are 17:00-23:30. Food L.O. is 22:30 and drink L.O. is 23:00, and the opening hours have changed since March. In addition to beer, the bar offers items such as a lemon sour made with non-wax lemons from Mitsukojima, Hiroshima, and shumai dumplings prepared with care, which is very much in keeping with BEER HUNTING URAWA's style of offering a broad range of enjoyment while keeping craft beer at the center.
A straightforward tap lineup that lets you follow brewery beers from the Urawa area alongside breweries from across Japan all at once. It was a day suited both to people who want to try real ale and to those who want to take their time comparing different pours.
