Urawa's BEER NOVA Publishes March 28 Tap List, Featuring 27 Beers Including VERTERE and U.B.P BREWERY
Urawa beer pub BEER NOVA has released its tap list for Saturday, March 28. Centered on VERTERE and U.B.P BREWERY, the lineup spans pilsners, sours, saisons, and more, making it easy to use from daytime drinking through the night.
Hop BroBEER NOVA in Urawa has posted its March 28 tap list. With VERTERE and U.B.P BREWERY in the mix, today's lineup is pretty bold.
MugiWhoa, 27 beers on tap? With that many, just looking at the menu might leave my head all foamy!
Hop BroAnd VERTERE is especially rich in fruit-forward beers. It has lots of ones you can play with for acidity and aroma, like "Salix" and "10th Anniversary Grape Sour."
MugiA grape sour? Does sour mean tart? It sounds kind of like juice, but is that a grown-up trap?
Hop BroExactly. Sours are a style that showcases acidity. The crisp edges matter more than sweetness, which is what makes them so good with food.
MugiOhhh! Then Chuckanut Brewery's pilsner sounds like the clean, refreshing kind that's perfect for daytime drinking!
Hop BroThat's right. There are also beers with big malt character from Hoppukotan, plus saisons like Yorocco Beer's "Brown Saison," so the range runs from crisp to toasty.
MugiThe word saison sounds so stylish, like a seasonal farmhouse beer! But brown and saison together kind of scramble my brain!
Hop BroThat's where the yeast character comes in. More than the color, the spice-like notes and dryness from fermentation often take center stage, so the trick is not to decide by the name alone.
MugiI see. Then I want to know about U.B.P BREWERY's Urawa-themed names too! Things like "URAWA CITY ALE" make me want to drink while walking around town.
Hop BroAnd what makes BEER NOVA strong is that it's easy to use from daytime service into the night. They also have a limited hamburger, and they've even announced April TTO events, so it's the kind of place that makes you want to linger.
MugiThis is totally a drink-in-Urawa situation. I feel like starting with a pilsner today and finishing with a sour!
Hop BroNice. Then I'll do a full round starting with VERTERE, and finish with a local Urawa draft at the end. Read this article and you'll want to raise a glass right away.
