LANA Beer in Mizonokuchi taps Yokohama Beer’s Zwei Bier
LANA Beer, a beer pub in Kawasaki’s Mizonokuchi area, has switched on Yokohama Beer’s “Zwei Bier” as its guest beer. The post describes it as an altbier finished by brewer Kato after a refinement trip to Düsseldorf.
Hop BroLANA Beer in Mizonokuchi just tapped Yokohama Beer's Zwei Bier. It's a guest Altbier finished by brewmaster Kato, so this one immediately stands out.
MugiWait, that Zwei Bier name sounds like it's ordering me to drink two pints. Is that branding or fate?
Hop BroThe name has punch, but the beer is serious too. The Altbier style comes from Dusseldorf and is known for a nice balance of toastiness and drinkability.
MugiWhat is that, what even is Altbier? My brain heard “alto” and started a choir rehearsal.
Hop BroIn simple terms, it's toasty but light. You get malt character and depth without it turning heavy, so it's great as a first glass.
MugiOoh, and the article says the color is beautiful too? Tasty and photogenic is a dangerous combination.
Hop BroAnd this batch was polished in Dusseldorf, which really matters. It suggests Kato tuned it closer to the local idea of what Altbier should be.
MugiWhat! local-style fine-tuning sounds like the training arc in a brewing manga. So Kato came back from the Germany chapter stronger?
Hop BroThat's the fun of Yokohama Beer's Brewers Series: brewed from the moment. If you know their regular Alt, this is exactly the kind of version you'd want to compare.
MugiAnd LANA Beer opens from the early hours, right? Altbier with food as the first drink sounds like a perfect plan.
Hop BroExactly. With food and a fresh guest keg swap, it feels like you caught the bar at just the right time. Now I want a glass too.
MugiI'm done for, I can already picture that amber shine in the glass. Let's head to Mizonokuchi, because now I really want Zwei Bier.
Guest Beer on Tap
LANA Beer, a beer pub in Mizonokuchi, Kawasaki, announced that its guest beer has changed to Yokohama Beer’s “Zwei Bier.” The beer comes from Yokohama Beer’s Brewers Series, a lineup built around ideas developed by the brewery’s brewers at the time. In this release, the altbier is said to have been finished by head brewer Kato.
The post notes that Kato traveled to Düsseldorf and refined the beer on site before bringing it to the tap. The shop also says it enjoys alt styles itself, and encourages customers to try this version as well. The color is described as especially beautiful, so it should be a beer that works both visually and in the glass.

With its early opening hours, it works well for an after-work pint or a more relaxed meal-and-beer session. For anyone looking for a fresh altbier option today, this guest tap is worth checking out.
