Hop BroBEER NOVA URAWA in Urawa is opening at 16:00 on Thursday, 4/30. And with Alesong Brewing & Blending at the center, the tap list is looking pretty bold.
MugiWhoa, Alesong Brewing & Blending is that strong? And opening early is great too, I could swing by after work!
Hop BroThe highlight this time is a three-beer tasting: Cuvée Soleil, Single Origin, and Rackhouse Reserva. Even from the same brewery, each one has a totally different character.
MugiWait, barrel aging and blending suddenly sounds complicated! How is that different from regular beer?
Hop BroIn simple terms, they let it rest in wooden barrels or combine multiple batches to give the flavor more depth. That’s why the differences in style, like sour beer, farmhouse ale, and strong ale, come through so clearly.
MugiI see! So Cuvée Soleil sounds like it might be crisp and tart, Single Origin has me curious about the aroma, and Rackhouse Reserva might be the richer one!
Hop BroOn top of that, BEER NOVA is so much about the lineup of distinctive taps. Liberation Pils, Tidal Cycles, WILD FUNKYARD CHERRY, Umemigachi, Marihana, and Sake Beer all make it really broad.
MugiHold on, U.B.P BREWERY in Urawa has that many too!? Lara Kölsch, URAWA CITY ALE, and all that local pride is seriously strong!
Hop BroExactly. With local beers in the mix, if you move from Alesong’s barrel-aged styles to pilsners and IPAs, it feels like your palate is traveling. Since it’s a 35-seat beer pub, it’s also nice for settling in and comparing beers.
MugiAnd with last orders, it’s perfect for a 4/21-4/30 finale. I’m in the mood to start with Cuvée Soleil and go one by one!
Hop BroThat settles it. For the Alesong feature finale, let’s enjoy the depth of barrel-aged beer and the energy of local breweries together, then raise a glass at the end.
BEER NOVA on Thursday, 4/30: a varied tap lineup centered on Alesong Brewing & Blending
BEER NOVA URAWA, the beer pub in the east exit area of Urawa Station, will open at 16:00 on Thursday, 4/30. On Instagram, the shop is announcing its tap list for the day along with a featured selection from Alesong Brewing & Blending. Last orders are 22:15 for food and 22:30 for drinks.
This feature spotlights Alesong Brewing & Blending, a brewery from Eugene, Oregon, USA. The three beers on offer are as follows.
- Cuvée Soleil
- Single Origin
- Rackhouse Reserva
All three are beers built around barrel aging and blending, and their styles are clearly distinct: sour beer, farmhouse ale, and strong ale. Lining up three beers with such different personalities from a single brewery makes for especially interesting side-by-side tasting.
The rest of the lineup is also broad. `Liberation Pils / Yorocco Beer`, `Tidal Cycles / Nobody × Black Tide Brewing`, `WILD FUNKYARD CHERRY / Repubrew`, `Poppoya Ale` and `Golden Ale`, `GOLDEN SLUMBERS / Repubrew`, `Umemigachi / Hoppukotan Brewing`, `Marihana / COEDO`, `Sake Beer / COEDO × WAKAZE`, and `American IPA / Chuo Line Beer Works` are all listed. In addition, from local Urawa brewery `U.B.P BREWERY`, the lineup includes `Lara Kölsch`, `Iroha`, `Raspberry Light`, `THE HOME & AWAY CS GOSE`, `Woohoo!`, `URAWA CITY ALE`, `Meia Lua`, `Beer All Right`, `Step Over`, `Scissors`, `Hazy Celebration`, `Shadow`, and `La Bomba Real Ale ver.`.
The venue is a beer pub with 35 seats, and the food menu is said to be available via Stories. With beer at the center, the lineup invites guests to enjoy barrel-aged styles, pilsners, IPAs, and local brews in sequence, making it a fitting finale to the Alesong feature running from 4/21 to 4/30.
