Nu10rin Brewing serves new rice ale “Gohan” on August 7
Nu10rin Brewing in Kawaguchi, Saitama, will open on Friday, August 7 from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. and is featuring a new upcycled rice ale called Gohan. The lineup also includes house favorites such as Akahana, Saison Nu-to-riinu, and Black Sour.
Hop BroNutori Brewing in Kawaguchi is pouring the new rice ale "Gohan" during its August 7 service from 5 to 10 p.m., and that is a very strong opening move.
MugiWait, a beer called "Gohan"? I would accidentally order dinner and a pint at the same time!
Hop BroThat is the joke and the point, because Nutori is pitching it as an upcycled concept beer that is meant to sit nicely next to food.
MugiWhat even is upcycled in beer? That sounds like recycling after getting a marketing degree!
Hop BroIt means taking usable ingredients and giving them new value, and here the key is the rice ale build with rice in the grist.
MugiYou said build and now I feel underdressed for science class. What does a rice ale actually taste like?
Hop BroRice can lighten the body and keep the beer easy with meals, and using local Kawaguchi water makes it feel very Nutori.
MugiOh, nice! With their nourishing food, this sounds dangerously crushable and I like that you can go light or pour big.
Hop BroAnd the board is stacked: Akahana as a Red Ale, Saison Nutorine as a Saison, Ultra Nutope as an IPA, plus a broad draft lineup around them.
MugiHold on, Ichijikai is a Gose and Kurosawa is a Black Sour? My brain is in full katakana traffic right now!
Hop BroSimple version: Gose brings salty tart vibes, Black Sour mixes roast and acidity, so Nutori has ridiculous style range for one local brewery.
MugiThat settles it, I am starting with "Gohan" and then maybe chasing it with Saison Nutorine because the bar crawl plan basically wrote itself.
Hop BroExactly, the first sip is a joke, the second sip is conviction, and now I have an immediate thirst problem.
