BEER NOVA URAWA Releases 31-Tap Lineup Starting at 4:00 PM on April 16
BEER NOVA URAWA updated its tap list to match business hours on Thursday, April 16 from 4:00 PM to 11:00 PM. In addition to West Coast-style IPAs and stouts, the lineup also includes Saitama names like COEDO, Chichibu Beer, and Mugizakkoku Kobo, making for a wide-ranging selection.
Hop BroToday’s highlight is BEER NOVA URAWA’s 31 TAPs. The tap list gets updated on Thursday, April 16 from 4:00 PM to 11:00 PM, and it lines up everything from West Coast IPA to dark beers all at once.
MugiWhoa, 31 taps is way too many! If there are that many, I’d be happy, but I might get dizzy before I even decide...
Hop BroThat’s the fun of it. The official site says they usually have around 20 varieties on hand, and this day’s lineup is even broader, so both IPA fans and dark beer fans are bound to get lost in it.
MugiHey, hey, what is a West Coast IPA? That doesn’t mean a beer that grew up near the ocean, right?
Hop BroNo, no, it’s a style of American IPA with clear aroma and bitterness. This time, names like Bodhisaffa IPA and Freedom of Speech are on the list, so the hop character is strong and there’s plenty to chew on.
MugiI see, so the hops really make themselves known. But it said there are dark ones too, and stout sounds heavy...!
Hop BroThat’s another highlight. There’s B-Bomb - Coconut Edition, Midnight Hoppiness, and even Imperial Stout, and each one goes in a different direction with roastiness, sweetness, and strength.
MugiWow, just the names sound intense! And there are local Saitama beers too, which really gives it that hometown pride feeling!
Hop BroExactly. COEDO’s Ruri, Chichibu Beer’s Shirokuma Lv.7, and Mugizakkoku Kobo’s Cereal Box are in the mix, so being able to compare Saitama’s local character right there in Urawa is the best part.
MugiAnd they even have Margherita pizza and prosciutto on the food menu... that’s unfair! If they’re serious not just about beer but about snacks too, then yeah, I’m definitely staying a while.
Hop BroExactly. When you consider the pairing between beer and food, it’s a place where both serious drinkers and people who want to sample little by little can have a good time. It makes you want to go for one more glass today.
