MATSURI BREWING Stocks Two Nara Brewing Beers, Introducing CHARM and REFLECT
MATSURI BREWING in Urayasu, Chiba, announced Nara Brewing's new arrival on Instagram. The beers introduced were two varieties, "CHARM (Hazy IPA)" and "REFLECT (Belgian-Style Blonde Ale)." The lineup lets drinkers enjoy the contrast between hop-derived fruitiness and yeast-derived depth.
Hop BroThere was buzz about two Nara Brewing arrivals at Urayasu's MATSURI BREWING in an Instagram post on March 22, 2026!
MugiWhoa! Nara Brewing is popular, right? What was in this new arrival lineup?
Hop BroThe two beers introduced were CHARM and REFLECT. CHARM is a Hazy IPA at 6.5%, and REFLECT is a Belgian-Style Blonde Ale at 7.5%.
MugiWhat is that? First, tell me the real deal behind Hazy IPA. The name alone is making my head fuzzy!
Hop BroHazy means a cloudy-style IPA, and CHARM uses lots of NZ hops, so it has aromas like white wine and peach. It's a fresh, juicy one.
MugiNice! So what about REFLECT? I'm curious about the appeal of a Belgian Blonde!
Hop BroREFLECT uses orange peel for an accent, and then monastery-style yeast esters create a fruity depth.
MugiEsters? That suddenly feels like a science class! So basically, it's an elegant, orange-scented style?
Hop BroThat's exactly right, and on top of that, MATSURI BREWING's eight taps and lots of bottles make its tasting-comparison experience a real selling point.
MugiI like that they don't just feature their own beer but also make suggestions from other breweries too. It feels like a place that helps comparison-drinking culture grow!
Hop BroIt also fits their philosophy of "creating festive occasions through mikoshi and beer-making," and today really makes me want to go after two contrasting pours.
MugiExactly! The juicy CHARM and the deep REFLECT - I just want to drink both tonight!
