Hop BroToday’s headline is Alpine Waves at Golden River. It’s a guest beer from NOMCRAFT BREWING, brewed with Hakuba Brewing Company, and that combination is hard to ignore.
MugiWait, a collab IPA on tap? Even the name sounds crisp and mountain-cool. That already feels like a perfect summer pour!
Hop BroAnd the style is Rice Cold Session IPA. It sits at 3.7% ABV, using rice for a lighter body while still keeping the hop aroma alive.
MugiWhat is that, too many beer words! I know rice is rice, but cold and session together sounds like a brewery pop quiz.
Hop BroIn plain terms, it’s built for easy drinking. Session means light and comfortable over more than one glass, and Cold IPA points to a cleaner, snappier finish.
MugiOhhh, light but still IPA! That’s like someone who can sprint and carry groceries. And 3.7% makes it great for a first glass.
Hop BroExactly, and the hop character stays clear. It goes down smooth and fast, but the aroma still leaves you with real beer satisfaction.
MugiThat sounds ideal! Good with food too, right? And if it’s that light, it could be the opening pick in a tasting lineup.
Hop BroRight. Golden River is a community beer pub, so it works whether you’re slow-sipping at the counter or sharing a few pours with friends. Guest taps like this really shine there.
MugiI can already picture it, first pint decided! I want to try that NOMCRAFT x Hakuba Brewing collab at Golden River and settle it properly.
Hop BroMy final ruling is immediate cheers material. Alpine Waves sounds like the kind of light, aromatic beer that disappears fast on a hot day.
MugiThen it’s settled, maximum craving achieved. My brain is already fizzing like Alpine Waves!

That balance makes it practical as an opening pint or as something to return to over the course of a meal.
