BEER HUNTING URAWA opens U.B.P BREWERY's Counter Attack! on July 13
BEER HUNTING URAWA in Kita-Urawa added U.B.P BREWERY's Counter Attack! on July 13. The tap list spans house beers, hand-pump real ale, and guest pours, with food and non-beer drinks also on offer.
Hop BroIn Kitaurawa, BEER HUNTING URAWA is tapping Counter Attack! on July 13. It’s a fresh pour from U.B.P BREWERY, and that is a pretty aggressive Monday move.
MugiWait, the place is BEER HUNTING URAWA, but the beer is from U.B.P BREWERY? That’s a double-name trap and my brain slipped on it.
Hop BroThat catches everyone at first. BEER HUNTING URAWA is the bar in Kitaurawa, and U.B.P BREWERY is its in-house brewery, so it’s bar and brewery together.
MugiOkay, but when you say hand-pulled real ale, it suddenly sounds like I need safety goggles.
Hop BroNot that kind of science. It’s beer served gently through a hand pump with softer carbonation, so the point is soft foam and aroma.
MugiWhat is that, classy beer wizardry? And with URAWA CITY ALE, Sanjuku, and Counter Attack! on deck, this is a tap list traffic jam.
Hop BroA very well-managed jam. The U.B.P lineup has Kick Off Pils, Saihaku, Raspberry Light, and Counter Attack!, plus guests like Lazy Afternoon and KOURO, so you get pils to stout in one stop.
MugiAnd they also have Belgian wit, saison, and hazy wheat IPA? That’s wildly generous. Plus until 20:30 it’s counter-first seating, right?
Hop BroRight, from 17:00 to 23:00. I’d start with Counter Attack! and shumai, and the eight lemon sours made with non-waxed Hiroshima lemons make the whole plan even more dangerous.
MugiNope, I’m done for, I want the full route now: real ale first, then Counter Attack!, then Imperial Stout 2023. This is pure one drink in Kitaurawa energy.
