BEER VISTA BREWERY unveils collaboration beer “LIAISON CHASE ABBEY” with Bar Chase in Kiyosumi Shirakawa
Tokyo’s BEER VISTA BREWERY has introduced “LIAISON CHASE ABBEY,” a collaboration beer with Bar Chase in Kiyosumi Shirakawa. The pale ale was inspired by Cointreau and built around orange peel and coriander, aiming for a cocktail-like aroma and structure.
Hop BroI’ve got a beer story today that really stands out: Beer Vista Brewery in Tokyo just dropped a new collaboration with Bar Chase in Kiyosumi-Shirakawa.
MugiWhat, a brewery teaming up with a bar!? And the beer is called LIAISON CHASE ABBEY? That already sounds ridiculously classy.
Hop BroAnd it’s not just any pale ale either. It’s a Cointreau-inspired Pale Ale, built to feel aromatic and precise like a cocktail.
MugiWhat does that even mean? Precise like a cocktail makes it sound like the beer is wearing a tuxedo.
Hop BroThat’s basically the idea. They wanted brightness, sharpness, and complexity without letting the flavor get muddy. The base uses two kinds of dried orange peel plus coriander.
MugiWhoa, I get the orange, but coriander in beer suddenly sounds like the spice rack kicked the door open.
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. After fermentation, they also added fresh peel from domestic Valencia oranges, a kind of post-fermentation addition to give the aroma more dimension.
MugiWait, post-fermentation addition? That sounds serious. So... is it basically fancy orange topping?
Hop BroPretty much, yeah. You steep the fresh peel into the finished beer to layer in aroma. And the leftover fruit was reused by Bar Chase as cocktail ingredient material, which is a very clean collaboration move.
MugiOkay, that’s unfairly cool. And with slightly restrained carbonation, they even imagined people quietly sipping it at the bar counter? This beer has better manners than I do.
Hop BroThat’s what makes it interesting. They’re not just making a beer, they’re translating a place into flavor. Since it’s on tap at VISTA too, comparing both locations sounds like the right move.
MugiThen it’s settled. I want the calm bar version, the brewery version, all of it. Right now I am absolutely in the mood for a glass immediately.
Tokyo-based BEER VISTA BREWERY in Koto Ward introduced a collaboration beer with Bar Chase, a bar in Kiyosumi Shirakawa: “LIAISON CHASE ABBEY.”
The beer is described as a Cointreau-inspired pale ale. In the post, Bar Chase is presented as a refined hideaway with high ceilings and a relaxed atmosphere where carefully made cocktails and drinks can be enjoyed slowly. That mood shaped the concept behind the beer, which aims for a balance of brightness, sharpness, and complexity.
For the brew, the team built the base with two kinds of dried orange peel and coriander. After fermentation, the beer was steeped with the fresh peel of domestic Valencia oranges, adding another layer of citrus character. The remaining fruit flesh was then used by Bar Chase as a cocktail ingredient, making the collaboration work on both sides of the counter. Carbonation was kept slightly restrained, matching the idea of a beer that feels natural at a bar counter.
It is a collaboration that reflects both the brewery’s Tokyo identity and the bar’s Kiyosumi Shirakawa setting. Since it is also on tap at VISTA, comparing the two venues could be part of the appeal.
