BEER HUNTING URAWA posts June 11 tap list with U.B.P. house beers and guest taps
BEER HUNTING URAWA, a craft-beer bar in Kita-Urawa, posted its June 11 (Wed.) service notice. The bar is open from 17:00 to 23:00 and is pouring 10 beers, including three house beers from U.B.P BREWERY. A Teenage & Nobody TTO is also planned for next week.
Hop BroToday's June 11 tap list at BEER HUNTING URAWA in Kita-Urawa is seriously strong. They're open 5:00-11:00 p.m. with 10 taps, and there's even a Teenage & Nobody TTO next week!
MugiWhat! A full 10 taps means I could get decision fatigue before my first sip! What's the headline pick?
Hop BroFirst thing to watch is U.B.P BREWERY's three house-made beers. Kick Off Pils is a clean pilsner, Shadow is an easygoing dark ale, and KEYAKI FORWARD is a bursty Hazy IPA.
MugiWhoa! KEYAKI FORWARD sounds like a beer that runs onto the field before I do. Does Hazy IPA mean cloudy look, sunny mood?
Hop BroHonestly, I like that definition. The Hazy IPA profile is juicy and not overly bitter, with a pale haze and soft waves of hop aroma.
MugiOkay, I get the aroma part, but what is real ale? It sounds like a final boss with a cask shield!
Hop BroHere's the thing, traditional real ale is served gently with a hand pump. Lower carbonation lets the flavor spread out, so beers like URAWA CITY ALE, a 4.0% bitter, or Minoh Beer's real-version pale ale show that charm well.
MugiNo way! Softer carbonation means less fizzy attack and more slow-burn wow. So the guest taps are stacked too?
Hop BroVery stacked. Umenishiki's Sokujou aged one year is a sake-yeast beer, Hop Kotan's Origin to Future is a West Coast pale ale, Nomcraft's Octopus King is a Dip Hop IPA, and Shiga Kogen's 1t IPA brings 9.5% boss energy.
MugiWait, 1t IPA at 9.5% is on the list too? If I do a tasting flight, my personality might evolve into imperial form!
Hop BroIt sounds technical, but Dip Hop IPA brewing is basically a method that helps pull out cleaner hop aroma. And pairing that with the lodge-like room, shumai, and spicy fried gizzards is frankly unfair.
MugiThat is unfair! In that mountain-lodge vibe, I want shumai, then Kick Off Pils, then URAWA CITY ALE, and finish with KEYAKI FORWARD.
Hop BroThat lineup is the correct route. June 11 at BEER HUNTING URAWA feels like one of those nights where you go for one beer and end up wanting a preview of next week's Teenage & Nobody TTO.
