BEER HUNTING URAWA brings back URAWA CITY ALE in real ale form
BEER HUNTING URAWA is open on Wednesday, August 5, from 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., with URAWA CITY ALE back on handpump as a real ale. The lineup also includes house beers from U.B.P BREWERY plus releases from Oni Densetsu, Hideshio Brewery, and more.
Hop BroTonight, URAWA CITY ALE on real ale is finally back at BEER HUNTING URAWA, and for Kita-Urawa beer fans, that is basically headline news.
MugiWait, what is real ale? That sounds like the documentary version of beer!
Hop BroIt is beer conditioned naturally in the cask and served with a hand-pulled beer pump, so the carbonation is softer and the aroma opens up gently.
MugiWhoa, beer you pull by hand? I am imagining the staff getting secretly ripped behind the bar!
Hop BroThat image is extremely gym-coded, but close enough, and this time the lineup centers on U.B.P BREWERY house beers like Kick Off Pils, Saihaku, and OWN GOAL IPA.
MugiThose names are intense! OWN GOAL IPA sounds like one sip and I accidentally give myself a yellow card!
Hop BroAnd the guest taps are loaded too, with fresh Nichinan Lemon Session Hazy IPA, Kinki Pale Ale SP Real Ver., plus Weizenbock and Rauchbock from Daisen G Beer.
MugiHold on, what is Rauchbock? That sounds less like beer and more like a spell from a wizard tavern!
Hop BroIt is a rich bock with smoked malt character, so you get deep smoky richness you can sip slowly, and the whole list runs from pilsner to stout.
MugiAnd they are open from 5 PM to 11 PM, with food last order at 10 and drinks at 10:30, so this is not a rushed one-beer mission at all!
Hop BroWith house-made char siu and fried shrimp on the food side, first pour should be real ale, then anything we love can come home from the bottle shop corner.
MugiThat is too strong a plan! I want a pint now, starting with URAWA CITY ALE and then maybe chasing it with all eight lemon sours.
Tap list for August 5
BEER HUNTING URAWA is operating on Wednesday, August 5, from 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. Food last order is 10:00 p.m., and drinks last order is 10:30 p.m. The main highlight is the return of URAWA CITY ALE in real ale form.
The beer pub in Kita-Urawa centers on its own U.B.P BREWERY lineup while also pouring guest beers from across Japan. On this day, the handpump real ale selection includes URAWA CITY ALE/U.B.P BREWERY and KONKI PALE ALE SP Real Ver./Oni Densetsu.
U.B.P BREWERY also brings Kick Off Pils, Saishiro, and OWN GOAL IPA. The guest lineup further includes Nichinan Lemon Fresh-Squeezed Session Hazy IPA/Hideji Beer, Weizenbock/Daisen G Beer, Ihuudoudou/KANKIKU BREWERY, IPA/Shiga Kogen Beer, Gogo no Stout/Yamorido, and Rauchbock/Daisen G Beer.
That range covers pilsner, Belgian wit, IPA, hazy IPA, stout, and rauchbock, making it a good stop for focused tasting. Non-beer drinks are also well stocked, including multiple lemon sours made with unwaxed lemons from Mikasajima in Hiroshima and a chunky citrus-style sour. The food menu includes house-made chashu pork, steamed shrimp tom yum salad, fried shrimp, whole-head fried shrimp, and assorted shumai, so the pub works well for both drinking and eating. A bottle-shop corner is also open for takeaway.
