CraftBeer Bar BRONX taps GREAT BLUE, Pharaoh and Wheat Ale
CraftBeer Bar BRONX in East Urawa has shared its lineup for Saturday, June 6. The bar opens at 11:30 a.m., but a private event means regular service ends at 4:00 p.m., with reopening planned around 8:30 p.m. The day’s taps combine three craft beers with a strong lineup of standard draft options.
Hop BroToday, BRONX's taps are looking seriously good. On June 6, they open at 11:30, so it is a proper daytime craft beer run.
MugiWhat! Day drinking sounds perfect! But regular service ends at 4:00 PM? What is going on there?
Hop BroThat is the catch: a private event takes over after that, so normal service only runs until 4:00 PM. Then they plan to reopen around 8:30 PM, which makes this a two-round beer day.
MugiSo it is basically a split-session beer festival! And with three featured craft beers, I feel like we need a tasting strategy.
Hop BroThe headliners are GREAT BLUE, Pharaoh, and Wheat Ale. They come from Johana Beer, Tokorozawa Beer, and T.Y.HARBOR BREWERY, so the lineup already has real personality.
MugiWait, what is Wheat Ale exactly? Is that a name, a style, or actual wheat doing laps in the glass?
Hop BroLet us calm that image down a bit. An ale brewed with wheat usually gives you a softer texture and lighter feel. The wheat is not swimming, so we are safe.
MugiOh, nice! Then a side-by-side tasting would really show their different personalities. Also, Pharaoh sounds so dramatic that I expect royal entrance music.
Hop BroAnd BRONX also has solid Okinawan food, which makes this even better. You can start with craft beer early, then come back after reopening and move into the classic draft lineup.
MugiThat settles it, then: an early first pint and a comeback round at night. For me, Higashi-Urawa is officially the capital of beer today.
June 6 service note
CraftBeer Bar BRONX, a hidden beer pub about a three-minute walk from the west exit of Higashi-Urawa Station, posted its operating notice and tap list for Saturday, June 6. Although the business hours are listed as 11:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., the post says the bar will be open for regular service only until 4:00 p.m. because of a private booking. Service is expected to resume at around 8:30 p.m. after the event.
What’s on tap
The craft-beer highlights are GREAT BLUE (Johana Beer), Pharaoh (Tokorozawa Beer), and Wheat Ale (T.Y.HARBOR BREWERY). With three clearly different styles, it looks like a lineup made for side-by-side tasting.
The regular draft side is equally solid: Asahi Super Dry Kuroda pour, Asahi Super Dry Super Cold, Asahi Super Dry Extra Cold, Asahi Draft Beer "Maluef", Asahi Draft Beer "Kuro Nama", Orion The Draft, Peroni Nastro Azzurro, and Pilsner Urquell. That gives drinkers everything from a hop-forward craft pour to familiar, crisp, easy-drinking standards.
BRONX is also known for Okinawan-inspired food and a relaxed room with both counter and table seating. It works well for a daytime drink, a quick stop after work, or a slower meal-and-beer session. On this date, it is the kind of place where you can start with craft beer early, then come back later for another round after the private event ends.
