BEER HUNTING URAWA Unveils 10-Tap Lineup for May 2
BEER HUNTING URAWA was open on Saturday, May 2 from 2:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m., with 10 beers on tap, including house-brewed and guest beers. The lineup included beers from Shiga Kogen Beer, HOPDOG BREWING, Minoh Beer, Johana Beer, Brasserie Knot, and more, making it a great selection for tasting side by side.
Hop BroKita-Urawa's BEER HUNTING URAWA dropped a pretty interesting lineup with its May 2 tap release. Ten kinds total, combining house-brewed beers and guests, so it's exactly the kind of thing tasting-comparison fans love.
MugiWhoa! Ten kinds? With that many, I'd freeze because I'd have no idea what to drink first!
Hop BroThat's what makes it fun. They've lined up everything from pilsners to IPAs, so you can build a flow from an easy first pint to something more substantial.
MugiI get pilsners, but what's a more substantial beer? That sounds like a beer name that suddenly started lifting weights, and it's kind of scary!
Hop BroNot lifting weights. It means the bitterness, aroma, and body are stronger, so there's more to chew on. For example, beers like the Rockin' Osaru IPA are the kind you really sip to enjoy the hop aroma.
MugiGot it! So you start light and attack later. Just hearing built for side-by-side tasting makes it fun to think about the order!
Hop BroAnd the guest lineup is strong too. There's Shiga Kogen Beer’s Africa Pale Ale, HOPDOG BREWING’s OTAMA SAISON, and Brasserie Knot’s HAOTO and YAMASACHI 1-Year Aged ver.
MugiWhoa, the second I hear 1-Year Aged ver., it suddenly feels way too much like the adult world! It feels like it spent a year quietly training in a barrel!
Hop BroExactly. Aging settles the aroma and flavor, and even the same brewery can show a different face. Plus, since you can enjoy food in the wood-toned interior, it's the kind of place that invites you to take your time.
MugiThe snacks sound good too! Mouthwatering chicken and beer is basically guaranteed delicious. The steamed shrimp tom yum salad would also make the beer mood even better!
Hop BroExactly. They even have chicken liver confit and a mascarpone dip, so you can have fun with the snacks while making your way through the taps. During Golden Week in Kita-Urawa, this is basically Hunting is the way to go.
MugiYep, that's today's conclusion! It's perfect for a night when you want to compare beers, and my throat is already starting to remember beer!
