Hop BroBEER HUNTING URAWA in Kita-Urawa is pouring 10 taps on June 28, and the spread is wild, from Oni Densetsu to Y.MARKET.
MugiWhat! In one pub? That's basically a tasting paradise, and my stomach has already checked in!
Hop BroThe big draw is the local U.B.P BREWERY lineup: Kinki Pale Ale real-ale ver., Kick Off Pils, Ayahaku, OWN GOAL IPA, and Raspberry Light, a full five-beer U.B.P run.
MugiHold on, pilsner, Belgian wit, IPA, and fruit ale all at once? That's a style traffic jam, and my brain is dropping glasses!
Hop BroBroken down simply, Kick Off Pils is a crisp pilsner, Ayahaku is a soft Belgian wit, OWN GOAL IPA lets the hops pop, and Raspberry Light brings fruity lift, so the flavor range is huge.
MugiOkay, but what is the real-ale version? That was sudden beer jargon, and I just got left behind by the hops!
Hop BroThat part is great: real ale served by hand pump has gentler carbonation and a softer aroma, so it drinks like a fluffy, mellow pour.
MugiNo way! So if they also have the Simcoe version of Kinki Pale Ale, we can do a side-by-side beer experiment!?
Hop BroExactly, and it keeps going with Full Throttle from Hop Kotan Brewery, Tsunagu Beer from Baeren, NEW Onigashima IX from Y.MARKET, and Imperial Stout 2023 from Daisen G Beer, basically a cross-Japan tap lineup.
MugiSo it's like speed-running Hokkaido, Nagoya, and Tottori in one night! And with snack platters and chicken liver confit, the food is stacked too.
Hop BroIt runs 2:00 to 10:00 p.m., you can settle in on the second floor in Kita-Urawa, and there is even takeaway from the bottle shop corner, so now I want a pint immediately.
MugiSame, I'm fully in. I want to start with Kick Off Pils and finish on Imperial Stout 2023 for a fake full-tap conquest.
