Namacha'n Stand Shiinamachi Branch Opens the Taps, from House-Brewed IPA to Smoothie Styles
At Namacha'n Stand Shiinamachi Branch, near Shiinamachi Station, a tap list packed with house-brewed beers from NAMACHA'n Brewing was confirmed. The lineup ranges widely from IPA and rauchbier to fruit sours and smoothie sours, making for a brewpub-style setup that goes well with smoked snacks.
Hop BroFrom the North Exit of Shiinamachi Station, it's a three-minute walk to Namacha'n Stand Shiinamachi Branch, and the taps there are seriously interesting.
MugiWait, it's that close? And with house brews lined up like that, I'd probably get lost the moment I walk in!
Hop BroExactly. On six taps you get everything from Ultra Happiness IPA and rauchbier to fruit sours and smoothie sours. And because it pairs so well with smoked snacks, you just can't stop drinking.
MugiRauchbier? What is that? Is rauchbier a smoky style? The name alone makes it feel like smoke is billowing out!
Hop BroRight. Rauchbier is a roasted-aroma beer made with smoked malt, and `なまちゃんのラオホ` makes that toasty character the star. It's a different direction from IPA hop character, and it's steadily delicious.
MugiOhh! So things like `なまちゃんの桃スムージー` are dessert-like, then. Peach smoothie styles - how thick are they?
Hop BroPretty rich. `なまちゃんのダブル桃スムージー` and `なまちゃんのとってもリッチなフルーツスムージー2` are basically mountains of fruit. Tart-sweet, and it feels like a drinkable fruit dessert.
MugiWait, they even have `ナオのおはようスムージー` and `ステフのおやすみスムージー`? There's too much information in the names alone. I want to order one by one!
Hop BroAnd they even have derivatives of `湯あがりエール`, plus `ゆずこしょうサワー` and `なまっぷるサワー`, so there's plenty of seasonal feeling and local character too. That's what makes this place a drink-compare paradise at the standing counter.
MugiI've got it completely! If IPA fans, sour fans, and smoothie fans all get taken care of, then today I want to work my way through them one by one and have the smoked snacks too!
Namacha'n Stand Shiinamachi Branch, a three-minute walk from the North Exit of Shiinamachi Station, is a brewpub with NAMACHA'n Brewing's second brewery attached. The six taps at the counter let you enjoy the house-brewed specialties on the spot, and it also offers takeout in cans and bottles. Another part of its appeal is how well the beers pair with smoked snacks.
The tap list confirmed this time spans a wide range, from IPA and rauchbier to fruit sours, smoothie sours, spice ales, and pumpkin ales. In addition to the standard `Ultra Happiness IPA`, the lineup includes playful names such as the roasty `なまちゃんのラオホ`, the fruit-forward `なまちゃんの南国サワー`, and `ナオのおはようスムージー` and `ステフのおやすみスムージー`, whose names alone suggest a light, easy-drinking character.
The list also includes plenty of rich styles such as `なまちゃんの桃スムージー`, `なまちゃんのダブル桃スムージー`, `なまちゃんのトロピカルスムージー`, `なまちゃんのしろスムージー`, `なまちゃんのマンゴーラッシー`, `マンゴーチャップス`, and `なまちゃんのスラッシー`, so there is also the pleasure of stopping by for tart-and-sweet styles. In addition, variations of `湯あがりエール`, along with `ゆずこしょうサワー`, `なまっぷるサワー`, and `けやぐのすらぁぁぁしぃぃ`, stand out as beers that evoke seasonality and a strong sense of place.
