Hop BroKameido has a pour worth chasing right now. At GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS, Nara Brewing's LIGHTHOUSE has been tapped as a NEW REAL ALE.
MugiWait, that name already makes me hungry! So LIGHTHOUSE on tap means we can actually drink that beer?
Hop BroExactly. LIGHTHOUSE is a Nara Brewing micro porter, only 3.0% ABV, and it won gold at the World Beer Cup 2026 in the Session Beer category.
MugiHold on, that was like five pints of info at once! Is what micro porter means somehow a beer for tiny harbors?
Hop BroClose in vibe, wrong in meaning. It's a dark beer from roasted malt, but made lighter in body and lower in alcohol so it stays easy to drink.
MugiOhhh! So even though it's dark, light body, full flavor is the whole trick? And it still gives coffee and cacao vibes?
Hop BroThat's the charm. You get coffee and cacao notes, and because it's real ale, the carbonation stays soft so the flavor opens up nicely.
MugiReal ale sounds tough, but it drinks gentle? Soft, gentle carbonation feels like a very dangerous invitation to keep sipping.
Hop BroThat danger sounds perfect to me already. Herb-battered fish and chips should click right into the roastiness, and the pub is bright, welcoming, and keeps 4 to 5 domestic craft taps.
MugiI'm done for, my stomach and throat are both in Kameido mode now! During 5 to 11 p.m. service, with last order at 10, I want LIGHTHOUSE and fish and chips immediately!
