About Nova Brewing Company
Nova Brewing Company is a family-owned brewery in Covina that makes both sake and beer. Its website says founders James Jin and Emiko Tanabe took over an old beer brewery in 2019 and turned it into a sake brewery. Sake is the focus, and the beer sits alongside it.
The website says the sake is made with Calrose rice from a farm in Northern California. The brewery builds its own koji in a room inside the brewery. The beers use sake yeast or Asian fruits, teas and spices.
Google also lists it as a sake brewery and a wine bar. The product list on its website includes Gravity, Eclipse, Doburoku, Laichi Cup Sake and Hatsukoi. Reservations and private events go through the contact page.
