Hop BroToday we're talking about Ryogoku-Kuramae, where the U.B.P TAP TAKEOVER was held on March 14, 2026 from 14:00 to 23:00.
MugiWhat! An all-day event!? And the venue is Minna no Craft Beer Bar? It already sounds fun just from the name!
Hop BroWhat's more, it was a six-beer lineup all from U.B.P Brewing in Saitama, with a wide range from Step Over IPA to Saihaku Belgian Wit.
MugiWhat is that! Drop Kick DIPA and Hazy DIPA, the difference from IPA is basically spell-level stuff!?
Hop BroIn short, DIPA has stronger hop and body presence, while Hazy is designed to bring out a juicy aroma from the haze.
MugiOhh! Then for a tasting flight, I want to know the beginner-friendly route and the order to drink them!
Hop BroI'd recommend Kickoff Pils -> URAWA CITY ALE -> Step Over -> Drop Kick -> Hazy Celebration -> Saihaku, a six-beer relay tasting.
MugiWhoa, that's basically a strategy meeting! And pairing it with soccer viewing is a beer-and-sports doubleheader win!
Hop BroThe shop at 1-18-2 Ishihara, Sumida Ward has that local feel, and they even have a next-event teaser with a planned TTO for a certain brewery in Miyagi on April 4, which is hot.
MugiIt's decided! I want to do an U.B.P tasting flight right now with you, Hop-nii, and we're definitely toasting at the next TTO!
A TAP TAKEOVER to enjoy U.B.P Brewing all day
At Minna no Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku-Kuramae in Ishihara, Sumida Ward, Tokyo, a tap takeover by U.B.P Brewing (Saitama) was held. The event ran from 14:00 to 23:00. The post also framed it as something to enjoy alongside soccer viewing on the same day, suggesting a way to enjoy beer and sports together inside the venue.
The ON TAP lineup for the day
All of the beers on tap that day were from U.B.P Brewing. The lineup covered a broad range of styles, making it easy to choose according to your taste.
- Step Over (IPA)
- Drop Kick (DIPA)
- Kickoff Pils (Pilsner)
- Hazy Celebration (Hazy DIPA)
- URAWA CITY ALE (Bitter)
- Saihaku (Belgian Wit)
One of the points of this event was that, even within the same brewery, it offered multiple ways to drink: comparing hop intensity through IPA and DIPA, pausing for clean bitterness with Pilsner and Bitter, and finishing lightly with Belgian Wit.
The venue and how to enjoy it
The venue, Minna no Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku-Kuramae, is a beer pub located at Rivage Ryogoku 101, 1-18-2 Ishihara, Sumida Ward. In a locally rooted atmosphere, the appeal is being able to experience a brewery's personality all at once through a tap event. It worked well both for people who simply wanted to enjoy a single beer and for those who wanted to follow all six beers in sequence and read the brewery's design philosophy.
The schedule in the post also mentioned a planned TTO by a certain brewery in Miyagi on April 4, suggesting that regular event programming may continue in the future.
