Six U.B.P Brewing beers tapped in Ryogoku/Kuramae, latest lineup including Saihaku
Minna no Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku/Kuramae revealed its latest taps in a post dated March 19, 2026. Centered on Saitama's U.B.P Brewing, it is currently pouring six beers, offering a wide range of styles from Belgian Wit "Saihaku" to IPA and Bitter all at once.
Hop BroToday’s topic is the latest tap update posted by "Minna no Craft Beer Bar" in Ryogoku/Kuramae. Opening six U.B.P Brewing beers all at once is pretty exciting, right?
MugiWhoa! Six at once is amazing, and it feels like a full-on U.B.P Brewing festival. Can beginners enjoy it too?
Hop BroThe star is "Saihaku," a Belgian Wit-style beer with Saitama-grown barley and a light white-beer character, plus a bright orange peel aroma.
MugiOhhh! That sounds absolutely delicious! It feels so spring-like, and it really gives off that "perfect first beer" vibe!
Hop BroThe rest are wide-ranging too: Step Over (IPA), Drop Kick (DIPA), Kickoff Pils (Pilsner), Hazy Celebration (Hazy DIPA), and URAWA CITY ALE (Bitter), so the flavor range is really broad.
MugiWhat is that! DIPA and Hazy DIPA and all these acronym spells just appeared out of nowhere!
Hop BroPut simply, DIPA means more hop character and body than IPA, Hazy means cloudy and juicier, and Bitter means a gentler bitterness. That makes it easier to build a tasting route.
MugiI get it! So if we go "Saihaku -> Pilsner -> IPA styles -> Bitter," we’ve got a full flavor adventure course!
Hop BroAnd on April 4 there’s a BLACK TIDE BREWING TTO, plus another Chiba brewery TTO planned for May 23, so keeping U.B.P in mind now will make the next events twice as fun.
MugiIt’s settled then! Let’s start with "Saihaku" today and toast together in Ryogoku!
