At Awashima Warehouse, a Five-Tap Lineup with Three New karuizawaQ Kegs, Plus YOROCCO and Nara Brewing
Awashima Warehouse published its tap list for Saturday, March 28. With three new kegs from karuizawaQ, plus YOROCCO's "Liberation Pils" and Nara Brewing's "HOMEWARD BOUND," the five-tap lineup offers a wide range of options from fruity to roasty.
Hop BroToday's Awashima Warehouse 5-tap lineup is really good. In the tap list for Saturday, March 28, there are three new kegs from karuizawaQ, plus YOROCCO and Nara Brewing all lined up.
MugiWhoa, three new kegs is a lot!? That alone gets me excited, and the names are all cool too!
Hop BroFirst up is karuizawaQ's Ruby. It's a fruit ale with soft acidity from raspberries and blueberries, and it goes down light and easy.
MugiWhen you say fruit ale, does it feel a lot like fruit juice? Or does it still taste properly like beer?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. The aroma and acidity of the fruit come forward, but there's still a solid malt backbone, so it's not just sweet. Ruby has a light tartness, so it's a good first pint too.
MugiI see! Then I'm curious about Under the Lights next! Just from the name, it sounds like the kind of beer you'd want to sip quietly at night!
Hop BroExactly. Under the Lights is an Oatmeal Stout with roast notes like cacao and coffee, layered with restrained sweetness, and it has a smooth mouthfeel.
MugiThe moment you say roast notes, my brain instantly goes into roasted coffee mode! If it's not too sweet, even people who don't like dark beer could probably handle it!
Hop BroAnd Shallow Waters is a New Zealand IPA with a bright aroma that brings to mind peach and lychee, followed by a dry, refreshing bitterness.
MugiWow, peach and lychee aromas followed by bitterness sounds delicious even before drinking! I'm curious about YOROCCO's Liberation Pils and Nara Brewing's HOMEWARD BOUND too, so today I want to take my time and compare them all at Awashima Warehouse!
On Saturday, March 28, Awashima Warehouse is open from 15:00 to 23:00. Food L.O. is 22:00, and drinks L.O. is 22:30, making it a good place to settle in and drink at a relaxed pace from Saturday afternoon into the night. As a beer pub in a residential area of Daizawa in Setagaya Ward, it is the kind of place that suits a small group quietly taking in the taps.
The highlight of the day is three new taps from karuizawaQ.
- Ruby (Fruit Ale w/Raspberry & Blueberry)
- Characterized by gentle tartness and a light, easy-drinking finish from raspberries and blueberries.
- Under the Lights (Oatmeal Stout)
- A stout where restrained sweetness layers onto roast notes reminiscent of cacao and coffee.
- Shallow Waters (New Zealand IPA)
- An IPA with a bright aroma evoking peach and lychee, followed by a dry, refreshing bitterness.
Also on tap are YOROCCO / Liberation Pils and Nara Brewing / HOMEWARD BOUND. The lineup is neatly separated by style and flavor direction: pilsner, extra pale ale, oatmeal stout, New Zealand IPA, and fruit ale. Whether you start with a crisp pilsner or jump in with the fruit ale first could change how you build out the evening.
Awashima Warehouse also asks that groups of four or more refrain from using the space, and requests that guests be mindful of the volume of conversation inside the bar. It is a service period suited to quietly savoring beer and carefully following the tap lineup.
