Hop BroThe Chuo Line Beer Works 4TAPs happening at BEERNOVA URAWA on April 17 sounds really interesting.
MugiWhoa! Four taps means you can drink all four kinds?
Hop BroExactly. It's a community-focused brewery in Koganei City, Tokyo, and you can really taste the flow of its activities that started from the station.
MugiStarted from the station? What does that even mean! Did a train bring the beer over?
Hop BroNo, no, it means it's a brewery founded by a former JR employee. And brewer Mr. Hirano is scheduled to visit, so it's a homecoming event.
MugiOhh! Getting to meet the brewer is the kind of thing that makes you happy before you even drink.
Hop BroThe lineup includes staples like ale and weizen, plus American IPA, and the seasonal beers are worth watching too.
MugiWhen I hear weizen, it somehow suddenly sounds like a fancy spell!
Hop BroSimply put, it's a beer with a soft mouthfeel made with wheat. IPA is a more lively style with hop aroma and bitterness.
MugiI get it! And using hops grown along the Chuo Line and Nambu Line makes it feel extra local to the rail corridor!
Hop BroExactly. The appeal of this event is that you can enjoy the flavor differences and the background all at once through a four-tap tasting.
MugiAll right, let's check the offerings on the day and go drink properly!
Hop BroAgreed. Drinking while hearing the brewer's story sounds like it would be the best from the very first glass.
Chuo Line Beer Works is a craft brewery with a brewery and taproom in Koganei City, Tokyo. Its official website says the brewery has advanced its brewing business as part of an effort to deepen ties with the local community, building on activities that began at the station.
The Instagram post announcing this event introduced the "Chuo Line Beer Works 4TAPs Pickup" for Friday, April 17. According to the post, BEERNOVA URAWA will feature four taps of Chuo Line Beer Works beer, and brewer Mr. Hirano is also scheduled to visit. The event reportedly came about as a homecoming celebration, thanks to his connection with the venue, where he previously trained at U.B.P BREWERY inside BEERNOVA URAWA.
One of Chuo Line Beer Works' defining characteristics is that a former station employee is involved in product development as a brewer. According to the official website, as Koganei City's first brewery, it offers standard ales, weizens, and American IPAs, as well as seasonal beers that use some hops grown along the Chuo Line and Nambu Line corridors. Since this is a brewery that has continued making beers with a strong sense of place, this event should offer a chance to enjoy both its background and its flavors all at once.
For beer fans, the chance to drink while talking directly with the maker is also not to be missed. Tasting four taps with an understanding of the brewery's character makes it even more enjoyable to compare the differences between each label.
