KAWABA BEER is a carefully crafted beer brewed by Denen Plaza Kawaba Co., Ltd., located inside Roadside Station Kawaba Denen Plaza. Made with the pristine water of Kawaba Village in Gunma Prefecture, it features a subtle, yeast-derived fruity aroma and a flavor said to be based on German beer.
There are four varieties of beer. Three are served on draft: Weizen, with low bitterness and a fruity aroma; Kawaba Ale, characterized by a pleasant hop bitterness and the aroma and sweetness of caramel malt; and Yuki Hotaka Pilsner, brewed with locally grown Yuki Hotaka Koshihikari rice. The IPA is available by the bottle and has a citrus flavor followed by a pronounced bitterness. Despite their rich flavors and aromas, the beers have a clean finish that makes them easy to drink and popular with a wide range of people.
The brewery is attached to a restaurant, drawing attention as a place where visitors can always sample freshly brewed beer. All four varieties are also available by the bottle at the farmers market on the premises, making them ideal souvenirs.
