Hop BroA new story out of Yokohama caught my eye today: The Bliss Brewery just rolled out a dark beer called Nap in the Shade.
MugiWait, a wedding-venue brewery? You can toast love and then toast with craft beer too? That's unfairly powerful!
Hop BroExactly. THE BLISS BREWERY & DINING sits inside Notre Dame Yokohama Minatomirai, and the big draw is pairing house-brewed beer with food.
MugiNice! So what kind of beer is Nap in the Shade? The name already sounds like I should cancel my plans.
Hop BroIt's a Schwarz-style dark lager at 5.5% ABV and 40 IBU, built to stay crisp even with that dark color.
MugiWhat is that, Schwarz and IBU? You can't just throw wizard stats at me like that!
Hop BroThink of Schwarz as a black lager: roasted dark-malt aroma, a coffee-like note, but a cleaner, lighter finish than a heavy stout.
MugiSo it's dark, but they describe it as like iced coffee? That's basically a cafe and a beer bar shaking hands.
Hop BroPretty much, and they even suggest serving it over ice. It's only offered in a half pour for 750 yen, so it's easy to try with a meal.
MugiMinatomirai views and that beer? I want one now. If they call it a break-time beer, then I'm scheduling a break immediately.
Hop BroThen let's go take a dark-beer break. I'm fully in for a smooth, coffee-tinged lager like that.
THE BLISS Brewery & Dining is a brewery restaurant located on the grounds of Notre Dame Yokohama Minatomirai in Yokohama. Operated by a wedding-venue group, the restaurant pairs in-house brewed craft beer with food in a setting built around the idea of a relaxed, special time in Minato Mirai.
The new release featured in the brewery's Instagram post is Nap in the Shade. It is listed as a Schwarz with 5.5% ABV and 40 IBU. In Japanese, the beer is described as an extremely crisp dark lager with a coffee-like flavor from black malt.
According to the post, the beer is available only in a half size, priced at 750 yen, and the brewery even suggests drinking it with ice. Rather than a heavy dark beer, this looks like a lighter, more approachable take on the style, suited to a meal at the brewery restaurant in Yokohama.
