The Urawa beer pub "BEER NOVA" announced its tap lineup to coincide with its business hours on Tuesday, March 24, from 4:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. Centered on several VERTERE beers, the lineup also includes craft beers from Japan and abroad such as Chuckanut Brewery, Yorocco Beer, and Hop Kotan Brewing, along with a substantial selection from U.B.P BREWERY's "Made in Urawa" line.
Hop BroBEER NOVA near Urawa Station has posted its tap update for Tuesday, March 24. This time, the lineup is led by VERTERE, with domestic and international beers spread across the taps, and it looks like the kind of list that makes your throat ache just from reading it.
MugiWhoa, that packed?! A VERTERE-led lineup already sounds strong, but what makes it so interesting?
Hop BroVERTERE from Okutama is pouring Salix, 10th Anniversary Grape Sour, Tilia, Effrensia, Viola Cera, Iris, Casimiroa, and Coffea. You can take in its many-sided character all at once, so it is irresistible for anyone who loves comparing beers.
MugiWow, I can't even keep up with the names! So what is a grape sour anyway, like a cousin of grape juice?
Hop BroClose, but not quite. A sour is a style with acidity, and when you combine that with fruit character, it finishes with a crisp snap. In short, it is a tart beer that will really hit the spot for people who like acidity.
MugiGot it! Then I want to know about the other beers too, not just VERTERE. Once you can tell the difference in flavor profile, I suddenly feel much more motivated to do a tasting!
Hop BroThat is where BEER NOVA really shines: Chuckanut Brewery's pilsner, Hop Kotan Brewing's CoCo Mugi, Yorocco Beer's Brown Saison, O/A NAGASAKI CRAFT BEER's AWAKE, and Y.MARKET x BEER HUNTING URAWA's Captain Mark are all on tap. It is a broad lineup that covers everything from crisp to roasty.
MugiBrown Saison is another new term! Is saison that farmhouse beer kind of thing? But with "brown" on it, it suddenly sounds rustic and delicious!
Hop BroExactly. Saison originally refers to a Belgian-style beer that was drunk during the off-season, and its appeal is its lightness and individuality. With a Brown Saison, you also get a roasty note, so you can enjoy a soft complexity.
MugiAnd they even have Made in Urawa too, which is amazing! If the local U.B.P BREWERY is pouring Lala Kölsch, URAWA CITY ALE, Hazy Celebration, and Shadow, then the reason to drink in Urawa is already complete!
Hop BroOn top of that, they even have the fermented ginger ale Akki Kofuku on tap, so it is friendly to people who are not in the mood for beer. With cherry blossom season in full swing and the nights still cold, it is a pretty ideal place to settle in near the station.
MugiAll right, I want to start with VERTERE and finish with the Urawa beer at the end! If it works for both your first stop and your second stop, then there is no reason not to go.
The beer pub BEER NOVA near Urawa Station in Saitama updated its lineup for Tuesday, March 24. In this post (Instagram), the emphasis was less on a standard tasting set and more on a lineup that broadly covers the beers you want to drink right now.
What stands out most is the depth of VERTERE. Salix, 10th Anniversary Grape Sour, Tilia, Effrensia, Viola Cera, Iris, Casimiroa, and Coffea let you take in the many-sided character of the Okutama brewery all at once. Frustum is a VERTERE x Ise Kadoya Beer collaboration, making it an interesting comparison pour for drinkers as well.
The other breweries do not miss either. From Chuckanut Brewery's pilsner, Hop Kotan Brewing's CoCo Mugi, Yorocco Beer's Brown Saison, O/A NAGASAKI CRAFT BEER's AWAKE, and Y.MARKET x BEER HUNTING URAWA's Captain Mark, the lineup brings together beers with clearly different flavor profiles.
Also important in the shop's context is the "Made in Urawa! U.B.P BREWERY" section. Multiple beers including Lala Kölsch, URAWA CITY ALE, Hazy Celebration, and Shadow are listed, making the reason to drink in Urawa clear by centering a local brewery. In addition to beer, a new tap of fermented ginger ale, "Akki Kofuku" (Shogano Mushi), has also been announced, adding more options for pairing with food.
With the cherry blossom season bringing activity to the city, the nights are still cold. BEER NOVA's tap lineup, which makes it easy to settle in near the station, looks like a strong choice for both a first stop and a second stop.
