BEER HUNTING URAWA taps three new beers on March 21, including Y.MARKET's "PEOPLE"
BEER HUNTING URAWA was open on Saturday, March 21 from 14:00 to 23:30 and announced three new beers on tap. The lineup featured Y.MARKET's "PEOPLE," Baeren Brewery's "Rye Beer," and U.B.P BREWERY's "Hattrick Hero," along with notice of the business-hours change that began in March.
Hop BroToday in Urawa, the three new taps are the hot topic. At BEER HUNTING URAWA, Y.MARKET's "PEOPLE," Baeren Brewery's "Rye Beer," and U.B.P BREWERY's "Hattrick Hero" all showed up at once.
MugiWhoa, all three at once!? If that many different beers are lined up, I’m going to go fuzzy trying to decide where to start!
Hop BroFirst up, "PEOPLE" is an IPL at 5.5%, and its appeal is how easy it is to drink. It has hop character, but it isn't too heavy, so it's perfect for the first pint.
MugiIPL? What even is that! India Pale Lager? And how is it different from IPA? The name alone is making my brain spin!
Hop BroIn broad terms, the defining trait of an IPL is lager-like crispness. It has the hop presence of an IPA, but the finish is a lot more refreshing and smooth.
MugiI get it! So Baeren's "Rye Beer" must be packed with malt character, right?
Hop BroExactly. It's the style known as Roggen, and it really brings out the toasty aroma of rye. It has a different feel from wheat beers, with a slightly spicy, bready nuance that is interesting.
MugiWow, a bready beer! One sip and it could put me in a breakfast mood!
Hop BroAnd the headliner is "Hattrick Hero." It's a hazy triple IPA at ABV 9.5%, so it's rich and juicy, with a serious punch.
MugiABV 9.5% is pretty strong, isn't it!? Hazy sounds easy to drink, but if you're not careful, that hero might knock you out!
Hop BroThat’s exactly why you can’t let your guard down. Plus, this day is 14:00-23:30 service, and with food and shumai on the menu, it's a great place to take your time and compare beers.
MugiThat sounds amazing! If takeout is okay too, I can keep going at home, and just chasing taps around Urawa while eating and drinking makes me want to go right now!

In addition, Shiga Kogen Beer’s "African Pale Ale" and "Porter," Minoh Beer’s "Sansho W-IPA," and FAMENTRY's "NAGATSUKI IPA" were on tap, making it an easy lineup for comparing the character of different Japanese breweries.
A beer-pub way to spend the evening

A liquor-store corner is also in operation, so you can stop by just to buy bottles and cans to take home. It is a spot worth watching in Urawa if you want to follow the tap changes while drinking slowly with a meal.
