BEER NOVA Announces 13 Draft Beers Including Alesong on May 16; LIBUSHI TTO Set for 5/23
BEER NOVA, the Urawa Station East Exit craft beer bar, has released its business hours and draft lineup for May 16. The lineup includes Alesong, St.Bernardus, and a range of domestic breweries, and a LIBUSHI Tap Takeover is also scheduled for May 23.
Hop BroBEER NOVA at the east exit of Urawa Station has released 13 draft beers. On May 16, it’ll be open from 11:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., so it sounds like a laid-back weekend drinking spot for a summer-like day.
MugiWhoa, 13 kinds is a lot! They can even set up relaxed seating? That’s basically a win already.
Hop BroThe imported highlight is three ALESONG beers: Cuvée Soleil, Single Origin, and Larch House Reserva. Add in St.Bernardus Prior 8 from Belgium, and it’s a pretty strong lineup.
MugiWhat is that! It’s so stylish just by name alone that my brain can’t keep up!
Hop BroThe thing is, beer names often reflect terroir-like character or the recipe’s personality directly. ALESONG is a brewery in Oregon, and many of its beers are designed with beautifully balanced aroma and acidity, so it’s easy to notice the differences when you compare them.
MugiOhhh! I’m curious about the domestic beers too! The local lineup is packed - what’s included?
Hop BroThe domestic selection includes Yorimichi from Koufukudan Brewing, DGB White Ale from Ohyama G Beer, WILD FUNKYARD CHERRY from Repubrew, Kinki Pale Ale ADHA-1631 ver. from Onidensetsu, ENNUI from Nara Brewing, and Boosted Hazy IPA from Ise Kadoya Brewery - it’s like a department store of beer styles.
MugiWow, they really have everything! I keep hearing about Hazy IPA lately - that’s the cloudy one, right?
Hop BroExactly. It’s the kind that looks hazy and brings hop juiciness to the front. For the Made in Urawa lineup, they also have U.B.P BREWERY kegs lined up, with La Bomba Real Ale ver., Lala Kölsch, and URAWA CITY ALE among them, so the local comparison tasting sounds great too.
MugiWait, even the local lineup is this strong? And if there’s also the May 23 TTO, then my next outing is already decided. I want to drink with cash or PayPay and have a pint in Urawa too!
