BEER HUNTING URAWA updates its taps with URAWA CITY ALE and Shiga Kogen beers
BEER HUNTING URAWA will be open on Wednesday, July 8, from 17:00 to 23:00, and has published its latest tap list. The lineup ranges from URAWA CITY ALE and a real-ale version of Kinki Pale Ale to house-brewed beers from U.B.P BREWERY, plus stout and IPA options.
Hop BroToday's headline is 12 fresh taps: BEER HUNTING URAWA is open on July 8 from 17:00 to 23:00, with everything from easy drinkers to an imperial stout.
MugiWait, that range is wild! So I can start crisp and end the night with a huge dark beer?
Hop BroExactly, and the main draw is hand-pulled real ale: URAWA CITY ALE from U.B.P BREWERY and Kinki Pale Ale Real Ale ver. from Onidensetsu.
MugiHold on, what is real ale? That name sounds so serious my brain just turned into foam!
Hop BroIn simple terms, it's softer carbonation. A hand pump pours it gently, so the bubbles stay mellow and the malt shows up round and smooth.
MugiOoh! Then how do I tackle U.B.P's triple lineup? Kick Off Pils, Saihaku, and Raspberry Light already sound like a tasting flight.
Hop BroI'd open with Kick Off Pils. It's a clean pilsner-style lager, then Saihaku and Raspberry Light take you into lighter, brighter flavors.
MugiBut Shiga Kogen's Yuruburu spelt... is spelt a grain or a wizard spell? Do I drink it and suddenly speak fluent beer nerd?
Hop BroClose, but spelt is an ancient grain. It's related to wheat, and it can add a rustic, nutty note that makes characterful beers really fun.
MugiThat is dangerously educational. And with Sono Ju from Shiga Kogen on the list too, this lineup feels impossible to get bored with.
Hop BroThen you can roam through KOURO, Lazy Afternoon, Tsunagu Beer, NEW Onigashima IX, and finish on Imperial Stout 2023 for the full lap from hazy to mild to stout.
MugiAnd you're telling me there are non-wax lemon sours too? Even the palate cleanser sounds like a trap for my self-control!
Hop BroPlus there's homemade roast beef and even half fried hokke, so that second-floor pub in Kita-Urawa is built for a slow, serious drinking night.
MugiDeal, first pour decided. URAWA CITY ALE to start, stout to finish, and now I absolutely want to drink through that whole tap list tonight!
Tap List
