BEER BULK J restocks GLaSS Hopper Brew Team’s two Nagadon beers
BEER BULK J in Tama City, Tokyo, is restocking GLaSS Hopper Brew Team’s Nagadon Ale and Nagadon IPA on July 4, from 12:00 to 24:00. The 10ants Brewing-run beer pub offers a chance to compare two local beers with the same theme but different expressions.
Hop BroNews worth chasing today: BEER BULK J in Tama just got two Nagadon beers back in stock, and they’re pouring from 12:00 to 24:00 on July 4.
MugiWait, the name Nagadon already has me curious... and you sound so excited you’re basically foaming over!
Hop BroThe re-stocked pair is Nagadon Ale and Nagadon IPA from GLaSS Hopper Brew Team, and BEER BULK J is a beer pub run directly by 10ants Brewing.
MugiWhoa, but new-style acorn ale? What does that even mean? Is this beer, or did a squirrel start brewing?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. The post uses that label to show off the concept, so the idea is basically an acorn-themed beer with a strong personality.
MugiOkay, but the IPA note mentioned malt richness and now I feel like I accidentally signed up for Beer Science class.
Hop BroMalt means malted grain, the base that gives sweetness and toastiness. Then the IPA bitterness lands on top, so firm bitterness is a very promising clue.
MugiNice! But is BEER BULK J easy for beginners? Hearing eight draft taps makes me think I’d freeze in front of the menu.
Hop BroIt is. It’s walkable from Seiseki-Sakuragaoka Station, and they have bottles and cans too, so you can drink there or take some home while exploring local brand character.
MugiI’ve already made no decision at all. I want to start with the ale, but the IPA is calling me too, so my brain just launched a comparison tasting plan.
Hop BroThat order makes sense. Start lighter, then move into more bitterness and depth, and the contrast reads clearly. On July 4 it’s a noon opening setup, so I’d go early.
MugiAt this point my throat reacted before my brain did... I can only picture us toasting with Nagadon as soon as possible!
Two Nagadon beers return on July 4
BEER BULK J in Ichinomiya, Tama City, is a beer pub run directly by 10ants Brewing. The shop focuses on craft beer with eight draft lines, plus bottles and cans, and it is within walking distance of Seiseki-Sakuragaoka Station.
In the July 4 post, the shop announced that two beers from GLaSS Hopper Brew Team were back in stock, alongside its 12:00 to 24:00 opening hours. The lineup includes Nagadon Ale and Nagadon IPA. The post describes Nagadon Ale as a "new genre acorn ale," while Nagadon IPA is described as having the richness of acorn and malt, plus firm bitterness. The wording makes the difference between the two beers easy to picture.

It is the kind of setup that works well both for a quick pint and for a side-by-side tasting. For drinkers looking for a distinctive seasonal return, these two Nagadon beers are the main draw.
