BEER HUNTING URAWA lines up event service and a varied tap list on June 6
BEER HUNTING URAWA will hold an event service on Saturday, June 6, from 15:00 to 23:30. The day features Norse Mabo mapo rice bowl service and a tap lineup led by URAWA CITY ALE, W-IPA Real Ver, and several house and guest beers.
Hop BroToday’s topic is the June 6 event day at BEER HUNTING URAWA. It runs from 3:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m., and both the beer and the food lineup look seriously strong.
MugiWhat! They’ve got Nose Mapo's mapo rice bowl and a stacked tap list too? That’s the kind of event where my stomach arrives before I do!
Hop BroExactly, and the highlight is real ale on handpump with URAWA CITY ALE. It’s a bitter from U.B.P BREWERY at 4.0% ABV, and Minoh Beer’s W-IPA Real Ver clocks in at 9.0%, so that one hits hard.
MugiHold on, what is real ale? That name sounds way too powerful, like the final boss of beer!
Hop BroPut simply, it’s an ale served with softer carbonation instead of being blasted with gas by a machine. The mouthfeel is rounder, so you can really taste the malt and hops more clearly.
MugiOh wow! And they still have KEYAKI FORWARD, Ume-chu, and even Sokujou aged for a year? The range is ridiculous, this tap list feels like a whole beer festival by itself!
Hop BroThat’s what makes it fun. KEYAKI FORWARD is a juicy hazy IPA, Origin to Future and No Maps lean crisp and West Coast, and Sokujou 1-Year Aged is a sake yeast beer with aroma character from sake yeast.
MugiThat is a lot to process! My taste buds committee has been called to order. And 1t IPA is 9.5% ABV? That’s not a meeting, that’s a full-on party!
Hop BroOn top of that, the place is pushing a craft tavern style setup, with lemon sour, grated-daikon sour, and easy food like shumai. There’s even a bottle shop corner, so you can take something home too.
MugiThat’s amazing, there’s even an escape route besides beer! But honestly, I’m probably not escaping anything and going straight for mapo rice with a fruit beer.
Hop BroThat’s the right move. There’s a 300-yen cover, food last order is 10:00 p.m., drinks last order is 10:30 p.m. I’d open with URAWA CITY ALE and mapo rice, then level up to W-IPA Real Ver later.
MugiDecision made! I’m ready to head straight to BEER HUNTING URAWA, you take that game plan, and I’m starting with KEYAKI FORWARD. Just reading this made me want a drink already!

What kind of place it is
The bar is expanding toward a broader craft-drinks format, so the menu goes beyond beer. It also offers lemon sours made with unsprayed lemons from Sangenjima in Hiroshima and fruit-forward “oni-oroshi” sours. The food menu was revised alongside the hand pump system, with shumai and other dishes designed to work both as snacks and as a full meal. A bottle-shop corner is also in operation, making it easy to stop by for takeout as well as on-site drinking.
June’s schedule also includes Teenage×Nobody TTO on June 18 and Nose Curry on June 27, making BEER HUNTING URAWA a place worth checking back on for changing taps and food pairings.
