u.b.p_brewery taproom taps 4th-anniversary West Coast IPA Memorial Match
u.b.p_brewery taproom in Saitama's Urawa Ward posted its August 3 service update. The featured beer is Memorial Match, a 7.5% ABV, 31 IBU West Coast IPA, alongside a seven-beer draft lineup, canned releases, and beer-friendly food.
Hop BroI wanted to talk about u.b.p_brewery taproom in Urawa today. They’ve just tapped their 4th anniversary West Coast IPA, `Memorial Match`.
MugiWhat! A 4th anniversary beer already sounds like a party, and it’s a West Coast IPA too?
Hop BroExactly. Memorial Match comes in at 7.5% ABV and 31 IBU, with tropical fruit aroma layered with a sweet berry-like note.
MugiHold on, when you say 31 IBU, my brain suddenly thinks this turned into science class!
Hop BroIBU is basically a bitterness scale. At 31, it’s not a punch-you-in-the-face beer. It stays light, dry, and pleasantly bitter.
MugiOhhh! So if it also has a berry-like aroma, it’s not just one of those bitter-only IPAs. I can work with that!
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. The hop lineup runs from Columbus to Nectaron CRYO, and CRYO means the aromatic parts are concentrated for extra punch.
MugiNo way, a concentrated hop move? That sounds less like brewing and more like a special attack. They’ve got other beers and food too, right?
Hop BroYep, there are seven beers on tap that day, from Kickoff Pils and HOMETOWN ALE to Hazy Celebration, so it’s easy to build a tasting flight.
MugiAnd the food lineup has a dumpling trio? Lamb, Spanish mackerel, and garlic chive with egg? Those are practically begging for beer.
Hop BroThey’re also selling cans, so you can chase the same beer home after drinking at the taproom. Self-serve water and no cover charge make it even easier.
MugiThat settles it. I want to start with a glass of Memorial Match at the taproom, then bring a can home if I fall for it.
Anniversary lineup
u.b.p_brewery taproom in Takasago, Urawa Ward, Saitama City, posted its August 3 service update with a note of thanks for the weekend's `U.B.P BREWERY Taproom` 4th-anniversary party. The taproom is open from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., with last orders 30 minutes before closing.
The featured beer is `Memorial Match`, a 4th-anniversary West Coast IPA at 7.5% ABV and 31 IBU. The brewery describes it as a modern West Coast IPA with bright tropical-fruit aromatics layered over berry-like sweetness, a light dry finish, and a firm bitterness that keeps the hop character vivid through the finish. The hops used are Columbus, Superdelic, Strata, Citra, and Nectaron CRYO.
The draft lineup for the day is `Kickoff Pils`, `彩白～IROHA～`, `HOMETOWN ALE`, `UNDERLAP Pilsner`, `Counter Attack!`, `Memorial Match`, and `Hazy Celebration`. That range gives the taproom a clear spectrum to work with: crisp pilsners, a house ale, and a hop-forward IPA for side-by-side drinking.
Food stays firmly beer-friendly. Special items include lamb dumplings, sawara dumplings, and chive-and-egg dumplings, while the regular menu features schinken aspic, freshly shaved Gouda, pickled Urawa cucumbers, smoked quail eggs, mixed nuts, and dried figs.
The post also lists a strong canned-beer selection: `La bomba`, `OWN GOAL IPA`, `UNDERLAP Pilsner`, `Kickoff Pils`, `Get Goal!`, `彩白～IROHA～`, `BEER! WINNER!`, `Counter Attack!`, `URAWA CITY ALE`, and `Memorial Match`. Direct online ordering is available as well. The venue's self-service water setup and no cover-charge, no service-fee policy fit the practical brewery taproom style.
