Uchouten Brewing to Hold 8-Tap TTO at TOCA by Inokashira Park Station on May 23 and 24
Uchouten Brewing of Suwa, Nagano Prefecture, will host an 8-Tap tap takeover at TOCA by Inokashira Park Station on May 23 and 24. Following last year’s event, they will be offering a beer with a twist on an anniversary brew, along with a new release making its debut that day.
Hop BroI’m here to tell you that Uchouten Brewing in Suwa, Nagano Prefecture, is doing an 8-Taps TTO at TOCA by Inokashira Park Station on May 23 and 24.
MugiWhoa! Does 8-Taps TTO mean they’re lining up eight taps? Does the place suddenly turn into a beer expo?
Hop BroExactly, and this time the highlight is a beer with a twist on an anniversary brew. Taking a beer brewed for the anniversary and adding another layer is pretty slick.
MugiA twist? What does that even mean? Does adding a twist to the base make the flavor go completely wild?
Hop BroFor example, it could mean adding adjuncts or adjusting the fermentation to bring out different aromas and body. This time, Excursions / Irish Red Ale is the base, so the malt sweetness and caramel notes should be the core.
MugiOhhh! Irish Red Ale is that reddish, sweet-and-toasty one, right? If they put a twist on that, it sounds like it would have this cozy, autumn-like feel!
Hop BroAnd the fact that they’re also releasing a fresh new beer for the first time is great too. A TTO lets you see a brewery’s current lineup all at once, so the comparison drinking is the fun part.
MugiWhat is that, a comparison-drinking paradise? But what kind of beers is Uchouten Brewing good at?
Hop BroThat’s what makes it interesting: they cover everything from Belgian styles to lagers and ESBs. In other words, because their style range is so wide, you can enjoy a whole spectrum of personalities in one TTO.
MugiWow, if they do that right by Inokashira Park Station, I’d definitely want to stop by! On May 23 and 24, after work, we’ll probably end up wanting to go drink together too!
Uchouten Brewing, based in Suwa, Nagano Prefecture, will hold an 8-Taps TTO at TOCA by Inokashira Park Station over the two days of May 23 and 24. In its post, the brewery said it would be doing it again this year, following on from last year, making it clear that this is a continuing effort.
The highlight this time is a beer based on Excursions / Irish Red Ale, brewed for the brewery’s anniversary, with an added twist. They will also be serving a fresh beer that will be poured for the first time on this day. As you would expect from a tap takeover, the lineup should make it possible to enjoy different expressions from the same brewery all at once.
Uchouten Brewing is a brewery based in Suwa, Nagano Prefecture, that has worked across a wide range of styles, from Belgian-inspired beers to lagers and ESBs. Untappd listings also show that its first self-brewed beer was a Belgian Blonde, and that it later went on to make Pilsner, Festbier, ESB, and more. Because its range spans so many styles, this 8-Taps event should be especially interesting for side-by-side comparisons.
The venue is TOCA by Inokashira Park Station. A TTO that runs over two days and rotates kegs throughout the event is ideal for anyone who wants a quick snapshot of where the brewery stands right now. Even for those who already think they know the brewery’s core image, the lineup here, including the first-time release, should offer a chance to see what Uchouten Brewing is doing now.
